Originally from the Houston area, Kristen earned her Bachelor’s degree in Voice from the University of Texas at Austin with the intentions of becoming an opera singer. While at UT, she also studied at the Austrian-American Mozart Academy in Salzburg. From Austin, she moved to Boston where she earned her Master’s in Opera Performance at the Longy School of Music (and where she became engaged to her wonderful husband, Dana). While in Boston, she sang with several orchestras and also won first place in the National Opera Association competition. She was then invited to perform her winning aria in a concert honoring Marilyn Horne at Boston’s Symphony Hall.
After completing her degrees, she was cast as “Sophie” in Terrence McNally’s Master Class at the Caldwell Theatre in Boca Raton, FL. She earned her equity card with that job and suddenly found a new calling in theatre. She and Dana moved to New York where she began auditioning for musical theatre productions. She was cast as the “Sheila” understudy on a European tour of Hair and ultimately moved up into the role itself. The show opened in Paris and over the course of about two years, went on to play in Milan, Rome, Amsterdam, Rotterdam, Salzburg, Vienna, Frankfurt, Stuttgart, Cologne, Dresden, and Leipzig among many other cities.
