Parker Napp as Puss in Boots in Shrek
Stephen Napp has spent the last 43 years wearing a wide variety
of “theatrical” hats in Baltimore and around the world — including General Manager, Company Manager, Production Manager, Stage Manager, as well as Performer. For many years Steve also served as Director of Print Production for several Baltimore area Advertising Agencies. As Artistic Director, Steve was recognized with back-to-back Best Director of a Musical awards for Charm City Players' acclaimed productions of The Wizard of Oz in 2014 and Shrek the Musical in 2015.
Ours is a personal and professional love story over a decade in the making and deeply rooted in a shared passion for the theatre. Over the years our numerous pairings as Will Parker and Ado Annie in the Rodgers and Hammerstein classic Oklahoma! inspired us to name our son Parker. We hope to instill upon him our lifelong love of the arts.
Six year old Parker is a seasoned veteran of six CCP productions including The Wizard of Oz, Shrek the Musical, The Music Man, Suessical, The Little Mermaid and Beauty and the Beast. Parker also originated the role of Baby Santa in Babes in Toyland from 2010 - 2013.
