(because I missed )
Here's a photo of the first play I ever wrote and directed during my undergrad in North Dakota called "Steel and Snow" (that's right, DRAMA baby.) It had everything: q***r love scenes, nightmares, snowflakes, and a dance number.
NOW... I'm closing the chapter on P**n to be a Star: Back in the Big Apple!, my solo show which also happens to feature q***r love scenes, nightmares, dance numbers, and what I would call, a "metaphorical snowflake." Some themes die hard I guess.

In the meantime, here's one of my favorite reviews from NYC's own Michael Musto for Paper Magazine: http://www.papermag.com/chris-harder-8-steps-p**n-251596876β¦
MOM WOULD BE SO PROUD!
HUGE thanks once again to Ambush Magazine for supporting my recent production of P**n to be a Star in NEW ORLEANS! And thank you Brian Sands for this glowing review. Shout outs to my director David Drake, video creators Steven Willis and Thomas Blake Ramsey and also David Quinn for his one of a kind costuming. Read the whole review at AmbushPublishing.com (Pg. 32)

"...Harder scores. Big. Not only can Harder do leg splits while standing on his head and high-energy burlesque routines but he has a marvelously expressive face and can effortlessly metamorphose among the characters..."
"David Drake directed the 75 minute show with an astute sense of pacing, making full use of the space."
I never officially announced this but the entire behind the scenes process of creating P**n to be a Star is the subject of Fusion TV's βNew York P**nβ documentary! The schedule for the show is always changing but if youβre a Fusion fan (and especially, a Chris Harder fan), check out Fusion.TV for the next showing of New York P**n. Special thanks to my director David Drake, The Pleasure Chest New York, The Slipper Room NYC and especially Cara and Jeff for documenting my life and work with equal parts s*x, humor and integrity. **noplay **n

What does it take to be a star...?
Get ready to get Harder with the new play by burlesque performer, actor and former gay p**n star Chris Harder. Loosely based on his own experiences, Harder transforms himself into an eccentric, seductive and satircal line-up of characters including his p**n "nemesis," an emoji-obsessed director and even his own mother-yes, she knows!
Everyone else wants to know... βWho will take home the βBest P**n Star of the Year Award?β" Will it be the Twitter t***k socialite Zach Parks, or the fresh-off-the-farm (and fresh-off-parole) Cody Falls? Or what about that go-go boy Chris Harder-βRumor is heβll put a camera anywhere...β
Directed by David Drake (The Night Larry Kramer Kissed Me), P**n to be a Star is a cheeky, charming and totally unexpected slice of the gay adult industry.
