CJ Knorr is a New Jersey born actor currently residing in Morehead, Kentucky. He graduated from Arcadia University with a B.F.A in Acting. His precious roles include Ensemble in The Prom and John Brooke in The Little Women Musical. CJ fell in love with theater at a young age and enjoys nothing more than watching people succeed on the stage. He doesn't believe anyone when they say that "They can't sing" or "They can't act." He knows that everyone can sing and act they just need the right training and the confidence to do so. CJ can't wait to bring his theater experience into this community and hopes he can help others grow into the performer they were meant to be.
