Chris Klimek

Chris Klimek has lived in the District of Columbia since 2005 and covered DMV theater since 2007, proving that it is possible to do both of these things at the same time. He became involved in theater by working as an assistant to illusionist and theater artist Ricky Jay. He was a 2009 NEA Institute Fellow and a two-time AltWeekly Awards runner-up, as well a District of Columbia Arts and Humanities Fellow. Chris appears regularly on NPR's Pop Culture Happy Hour podcast and has written for The Washington Post, The Washington City Paper, The Atlantic, Slate, and Rolling Stone.
