Growing up in St. Louis in the United States, Fergus became involved in Theatre as a teenager.

​

At Northwestern University in Chicago, while studying to receive a Bachelor’s degree in Theatre, Fergus became involved with several campus organisations and furthered his Theatrical pedigree. He wrote arrangements for and Music Directed his all-male a cappella group, Asterik. He performed in eleven shows with The Wirtz Center, Northwestern University’s theatre, with highlights including Cabaret (Emcee), The Laramie Project, Into the Woods (Cinderella’s Prince/Wolf), and Charles Mee’s Big Love (Constantine). He also participated in several theatrical workshops including Lookingglass Theatre’s Moby Dick, and FWD Theatre Project’s collaboration with Les Miserables writers Alain Boublil and Claude-Michel Schonberg: La Revolution Française.

  

In his last year at Northwestern Fergus produced the 85th Waa-Mu Show, Another Way West. Here he developed an interest in Theatre production and marketing.

Marketing, where he worked on the marketing for the National Tours of Kinky Boots, An American in Paris and A Gentlemen’s Guide to Love and Murder.
