Max Hartman: Max Hartman has been a proud member of Kitchen Dog Theater’s Company of Artists since 1999. Ever grateful for this artistic home base, his work has earned Best Of accolades from the Dallas Theater Critics Forum, D Magazine, The Dallas Observer, The Dallas Morning News and others. Stretched and challenged in ways only live theater can provide, Max has played a diverse array of characters but is likely accused of specializing in playing loveable arrogant jerks with no typecasting/self-awareness. Favorite past productions include POMPEii!!, which he co-composed musically, LOVE AND VINYL, A LOVE OFFERING, IRONBOUND, THE ARSONISTS, TREVOR, RACE, BARBECUE APOCALYPSE, WILDE EARNEST, BECKY SHAW, THE VIBRATOR PLAY and BETRAYAL, to name a few. Active voicing anime characters with Crunchyroll, Max is also a singer songwriter/multi-instrumentalist and performs locally with several bands and as his alter ego, crooner extraordinaire Max Vontaine.
