Chris Jensen

Mr. Jensen has been with First Folio since its very first show in 1997, initially as Resident Scene Designer/ Technical Director and now as an Artistic Associate. Chris is now the Technical Auditorium Director for West Chicago High School where he does the scenery, lights, sound, props and projections. He has worked in various theaters including Eclipse, City Lit, Apple Tree and the Illinois Theatre Association’s “All-State Production”.

Over two-and-a-half decades we have mounted over 80 productions, produced 14 world premieres, and 6 commissions. We have had more shows directed by women in the past 25 years than almost any other Equity theater in the Chicago area. We also led the way in opportunities for women designers, resulting in multiple Jeff Nominations and Awards for the many women who have worked here. Thank you all for your steadfast support through all these years. We will miss you!
