Biography

Krista is a director, producer, and performer with 20+ years of experience across stage and screen in Canada and the U.S. You might’ve seen her onstage at Toronto’s Alumnae Theatre or the Tranzac—or briefly in a commercial or a true crime re-enactment, where she most certainly had her own backstory. She’s also an award-winning documentary filmmaker: Promise House: Heather’s Story earned her Best Canadian Filmmaker at the Toronto Female Film Festival. Most recently, she directed the first iteration of Catching a Cheese Pervert last year at the Hamilton and Edinburgh Fringe Festivals.


Originally from Texas, with her formative years spent in New York City, Krista has now been in Canada long enough to have strong feelings about winter and maple syrup (she loves them both). She’s still figuring out how all these identities fit together, hopefully into funnier, quirkier writing.


You can usually find her at home in Toronto attempting a complicated NYTimes recipe, perfecting her martini technique, and hanging out with her family and her beloved Schnoodle, Peggy Schuyler.


Canadian Representation
I am delighted to be represented in Canada by DiCaro Talent Management. Acting enquiries can be directed to Ilona DiCaro at 647-499-0591.
