Whistler has resided in Indianapolis for two years and in that time he has stood center stage in the January 2002 Naked Man at Theatre on the Square and, more recently, has launched Ganas Theatre Productions where he serves as its artistic director. He directed the first Ganas production, Bus Stop, at the City Market. Other local credits include the ACT Out Ensemble, The Artist’s Studio, Grand Effect (formerly Pickles Productions), and the Indianapolis Arts Chorale (tenor).
Whistler also works ticket sales for the Indiana Repertory Theatre and part-time for Circle City Bar & Grille.
In the article Whistler is quoted as saying, “Growing up on a farm 45 miles west of Lafayette, Ind., there wasn’t much of anything to do besides cow-tipping. I remember one year getting to hold cardboard cut-out guitars, slicking my hair back, wearing a Mickey Mouse jacket and singing some ’50s or ’60s style song. I was way cool back then! In a sense, theater keeps alive that ‘coolness’ I felt when I was a child.”
