Christa lives to make people laugh.  Since her early teens and her first role in The King & I, back in
her hometown of Roanoke, Virginia, Christa has known she was meant to act. Born with a love of
performing, toChrista, whether it be singing, acting or dancing - any applause was good applause
and drew her like a moth to a flame.

After working successfully in regional theatre she took on other challenges including touring,
children's theatre, musicals and yes, Shakespeare.  Despite the joy she received performing
throughout the Southern United States, Christa knew that her journey as a performer was just
beginning.  Packing up whatever would fit in her car Christa headed west.  

A veteran of the stage in Los Angeles and Christa has performed in numerous plays, television
shows, independent and commercial films as well as commercial ads, including starring in the
Super Bowl 2008 television ad for Planters Peanuts.  You may have recently caught her in Mr.
Woodcock starring Billy Bob Thornton and Susan Sarandon and Smiley Face, starring Anna
Farris, a great comedy by distinguished director, Greg Araki.

In 2005, Christa started her own production company, T Cakes & I Productions. TCIP's  first show,
East Lynne, in which Christa played the lead, received great reviews and was sold out nearly every
performance which spurred the community to bring the play back in 2006 by popular demand for a
return run which also sold out. In 2007 TCIP produced Butterflies Are Free, the wonderful 60s
romantic comedy by Leonard Gershe which also played to packed houses.  Christa directed and
produced the show.  In September of 2007, TCIP produced it's first original play, My Husband Is
My Sister-In-Law, a gay romantic comedy, in which Christa starred and directed.  The play has a
wonderful tolerance and a human rights theme that drew kudos from the audiences and it is now in
consideration for an NAACP award.
