Christopher Cooper

Christopher Cooper is a Senior Theatre major / Writing minor at Middle Tennessee State University who is passionate about storytelling and advocacy. When he is not in class, he can be found sipping coffee and frantically writing (always at the same time), playing piano, and fueling his energy into any artistic outlet that he can. His play Eclipse was presented as a virtual staged reading in 2021 in collaboration with Nashville Repertory Theatre and The Theater Bug. In the Spring of 2023, his full-length play Falling was presented as a staged reading at MTSU, with the support of URECA Grant funding. He is also an avid performer, music director, director, scenic designer, and dramaturg.
