Chris Warren ’16 traveled to Washington, DC  back in January to perform alongside fellow Georgetown students at the 17th Annual Martin Luther King, Jr. Let Freedom Ring! Celebration at the John F. Kennedy Center for the Performing Arts. The event, sponsored by the Kennedy Center and Georgetown University, honored the late Rev. Martin Luther King Jr.’s life and spirit on his birthday.

Warren currently attends Georgetown and sang with the Let Freedom Ring! choir, which was originally organized for the MLK Celebration back in 2006. The choir, comprised of primarily Georgetown students, performed in front of thousands at the event on January 21st.

A member of the Hannon Theatre Company while at Loyola, Warren has also tried his hand at directing since matriculating. This past fall, he directed a play on campus entitled Language Archive which dealt with the death of languages as cultures die out and efforts to document them before they are gone. Warren was later selected for a principal role in The Jewish Queen Lear, which will premiere on March 13th and run through April 7th at Georgetown’s David Performing Arts Center in the Gonda Theatre.
