Christensen was a dedicated actor and educator with 40 years working as an actor across the country and up and down the coast or California with such companies as Berkeley Shakespeare Festival, Shakespeare Santa Cruz, The Eureka Theatre, the Magic Theatre, Berkeley Stage Company, PCPA, San Francisco Shakespeare in the Park, Repertory East Playhouse and Santa Clarita Shakespeare.
He spent more than 20 years in the William S. Hart Union School District passing on his passion and talents to eager students at Placerita Jr. High and then Hart High School.
His work with the Santa Clarita Shakespeare and local Shakespeare in the Park series spanned nearly a dozen years.
Christensen, 73, who died April 20, is survived by his wife of 35 years and frequent acting partner, Janice Crow-Christensen, his daughter Emily and two grandchildren.
The Santa Clarita Shakespeare has launched the Brent Christensen Scholarship Fund in honor of one of the original company members. The Brent Christensen Scholarship Fund is an endowed fund to grant a local high school student a stipend to work with the Shakespeare Festival for the summer.
