James Hastings
'Henry' in The Man Who Fell to Pieces
James Hastings is your standard artsy 20-something with a love of storytelling.
While he's spent the last eight years focused primarily on working behind-the-scenes on films/commercials, he first put his foot into the world of the arts through community theatre as a young teenager. Like Henry, the character that he's portraying in this play, James has built his career on problem solving, creativity, and a commitment to understanding the people around him.
In January of 2020, he made the decision to make a return to his roots as a live performer. There was a mild issue with the timing of said decision, but he's finally getting another chance to come back and act again, and he could not be more excited.
