    Christina Ashworth

    Christina got her theatre bug from her very first role as Oliver Twist at age six. A Nashville native, she attended high school at Nashville School of the Arts and went on to Belmont University to study social entrepreneurship. While she now works as a software developer by day, her love of theatre is alive through her involvement in the Nashville improv scene.

    When not performing with Chromatic, she can be seen performing with Rat Dude! or in the cast of Third Coast Comedy Club's improvised Tony Awards show, The Nominees. During her few non-improv-related moments, she can be seen binging Youtube videos, singing karaoke at Sid Gold's, or reading a book at home with her cat, Simba.

  • Jarvis Bynum headshot

    Jarvis Bynum

    When he’s not busy acting on stage or in film, Jarvis is juggling artistic director duties at Nashville Improv, co-owning/creating with Jam Jar Films, and hosting a “host” of different events! Known for his impeccable timing (except when he’s late), Jarvis can improvise his way out of any situation—except when it involves Adele. He is then powerless. He’s been known to turn awkward silences into gold, charm the coldest of hearts, and randomly explain the greatness of the underrated MCU. Fun fact: Entertainment easily makes him cry. Ask him what was the 1st movie that brought him to tears.
