Drawn to a career in the arts, multi-hyphenate (actor, director, playwright, comedian) Chris Ferretti acted in several theatrical productions that no one ever saw.

Ferretti studied theatre and marketing at the University of Rhode Island, which is as good of a recipe as any to become a bartender in Connecticut.

Working several jobs and bartending nights, Ferretti continued to perform in several productions, which ultimately led him to studying acting, directing and playwriting at the Actors Studio, where he received his MFA and once shook hands with Bradley Cooper.

An avid writer, he has written and produced several works including his one-act comedy, The Session, which had its Off-Broadway debut at the Theatre at St. Clement’s. Chris’ other works include Clipped Wings, Between A Rock and The Port Authority, Don’t Forget to Tip Your Server, Trumped, and Fish & Visitors: A Covid Comedy.

He has also penned a solo show, Voicemails From Purgatory, which details the insanity of growing up in an Irish/Italian dysfunctional family.

Chris, and his wife Julie, also penned, Go Shit in a Hat: Wise Words, Vulgar Expressions, and a Little Bit of Advice from the One and Only Auntie Ro, with 100% of the proceeds going to St. Jude’s Children’s Hospital.
