About Christa
A Wholesome Midwestern Girl. Raised in Indiana, graduate of Indiana University with a BA in theatre, and a proud Chicago actor and producer. She traded in the Chicago Bears for black bears (and a husband...) and moved to the Catskill Mountains of New York, although she will always root for The Bears!
Currently an ensemble member of Voice Theatre, performing principal roles in The Skin of Our Teeth, Our Country's Good, Hay Fever and Season's Greetings.
Produced two films with Cinetrope Entertainment. A documentary on the lifestyle, history and obsession of fly fishing, Land of Little Rivers. And a short noir, Rooster & The Queen, which she was both producer and supporting actor. Check out clips on the "video" page.
Christa continuously roams back and forth between performing and producing. As a producer she has 20 + years of experience in the corporate communications, theatrical production, and independent film arenas, wearing many hats along the way: Producer, Tour Manager, Production Coordinator, Video Producer, Back Stage Manager, Graphics & Speech Coordinator, and Talent Wrangler. And in a pinch, she has provided craft services....and costumed a show. She works with clients ranging from global Fortune 500 companies (XEROX, Panasonic..) to not-for-profits (YMCA..) to unions and associations (AFL-CIO..). She received a Bronze Telly Award in 2011 for her work with XEROX.
