In the Autumn of 2011, Christian went to work playing Butch with HER MAJESTIES SECRET PLAYERS for the immensely successful PULP SHAKESPEARE directed by college friend Jordon Monsell. PULP ran for a SOLD-OUT five month run at The Asylum Theatre in Hollywood, Ca. and was nominated for an LA Weekly Award for Comedy Ensemble. PULP SHAKESPEARE would go onto perform in the legendary Cherry Lane Theatre at the 2012 New York Fringe Festival where it was one of ten shows out of two-hundred to be invited to the 2012 Encore Series where it saw additional playing time at The SoHo Playhouse.

Mr. Levatino is a graduate of the University of Connecticut where he received a BFA in the School of Fine Arts. SUNNY AFTERNOON is Christian’s first stage play (that he’s going to show you).
