About Christa 

Christa is a wholesome Midwestern girl living in Chicago. Raised in Indiana, she graduated with a BA in theatre from Indiana University and proudly works as an actor and producer in Chicago. From 2006 to 2024, she swapped the Chicago Bears for black bears, moving to the Catskill Mountains of New York, where she became an ensemble member of Voice Theatre, taking on principal roles in productions including The Skin of Our Teeth, Our Country's Good, Hay Fever, and Season's Greetings.

During her time in New York, Christa produced two films with Cinetrope Entertainment: the documentary Land of Little Rivers, exploring the lifestyle, history, and passion of fly fishing, and a short noir film, Rooster & The Queen, in which she served as both producer and supporting actor. Be sure to check out clips on the "video" page.

Christa frequently navigates between performing and producing. With over 25 years of experience in corporate communications, theatrical production, and independent film, she has taken on various roles including Producer, Tour Manager, Production Coordinator, Video Producer, Back Stage Manager, Graphics & Speech Coordinator, and Talent Wrangler. In a pinch, she has also provided craft services and costumed a show. Her clients range from global Fortune 500 companies like XEROX and Panasonic to nonprofits such as YMCA and United Way, as well as associations including The National Council for Mental Wellbeing and APTA. Several videos she produced are Telly and APEX winners.
