Joshua Chessin-Yudin was born and raised in Seattle, Washington.  For as long as he could remember, he always had wanted to be involved in the arts. 

This desire led to taking improv classes in middle school, drama classes in high school and ultimately receiving two degrees in Drama Performance and Spanish from the University of Washington.  

In early 2020 he finished a Broadway run as the understudy in Roundabout Theatre Company’s “The Sound Inside,” directed by David Cromer at Studio 54 and in 2021 he finished an Off-Broadway run as understudy in Joshua Harmon’s “Prayer for the French Republic”, also directed by David Cromer.

Recently, he completed principal photography on a short film “Chasing 24”, which he wrote, starred in, and executive produced. It’s available for viewing in the MEDIA section.

Currently, Josh is understudying the roles of Daniel and Lucien in MTC’s Broadway production of “Prayer for the French Republic” through March 10th.
