Joe Sarafolean

Joe Sarafolean is a Twin Cities native who became captivated with the arts from a young age. His true devotion to theatre began when he was cast in Annie in the 5th grade and since then, it has grown into a full blown obsession.

A graduate of Winona State University majoring in Communication Studies with a minor in theatre. Joe now works in executive communications and is always sure to carve out time to enjoy the arts.

When he is not attending various productions around the Twin Cities, he can be seen driving around town belting show tunes, enjoying a libation at a variety of local breweries and distilleries or enjoying a quiet night at home with his husband and his pup.

A miserly and miserable, ever-so-cantankerous Grinch has observed the despicable Christmas joy of the Whos with disdain, from a distance, for decades. Enough! In this CTC holiday favorite, filled with music and Seussian rhymes, he plots the greatest heist imaginable—stealing the very thing they love the most! Until, that is, the smallest of the Whos, tiny Cindy Lou, extends a hand. Through the combination of kindness and community, we witness not only a change in the course of Who-History, but the size and capacity of the old green guy’s heart.
