Don't be fooled by the innocent face, Chrissy is a resourceful "Jill of all trades", who has been singing, dancing, and acting since she was a tiny tot, although singing was the love that obviously won out. Growing up as an "NYC theater brat", Chris performed at several regional and off Broadway theaters and supper clubs up and down the east coast, including the historic Fulton Opera House, The Dutch Apple Dinner Theatre, American Music Theater, First Stage, Ephrata Playhouse in the Park, and Three Little Bakers and has had roles in shows such as Annie, Ruthless!, The King & I, Evita, South Pacific, Annie Warbucks, The Nutcracker, Babes in Toyland, Cinderella, Flower Drum Song, Charlie and the Chocolate Factory, Christy-the musical, Disney's Mulan-adapted for the stage, and Les Mis, just to name a few.
