Creative Director "My life changed when I started participating in my high school drama club. Even though I was a sociable and talkative young child (often acting out scenes from Disney movies to entertain my family and friends!) I became very closed off when I turned 11. I grew terribly shy, and I was riddled with social anxiety and insecurities. Heck - I couldn't even answer the telephone for fear of speaking to someone new! Luckily, somehow, I got the courage to audition for my high school's production of "Beauty and the Beast" my freshman year -and my confidence did a complete 180! My drama education broke me out of the shell I had created, and made me realize my true potential. It gave me the gift of confidence, self-respect, and lifelong friendships. It also made me the woman I am today - and I am thrilled to now be passing on that gift to the next generation!" BIOGRAPHYKristyn is a proud member of Actor’s Equity Association, a local professional actress, and a graduate of the University of Albany’s Theatre Department. She has been an Arts Educator for over a decade, starting out as stage manager and director of her local community theatre youth program right after high school. When Kristyn found Drama Kids ten years ago, she knew she found a perfect fit. There’s nothing quite like seeing a child’s confidence bloom through drama, and to watch a student shine on (and off!) the stage. After a four-year hiatus, Kristyn has finally moved back to the Capital Region and is ecstatic to get back to teaching Drama Kids! Though to be fair, "hiatus" is a stretch. Distance couldn't keep her away from helping teach online during the pandemic, keep our social media pages a-buzz, and make the three hour trek to help with "Guys & Dolls"!
