Krista Apple AEA | SAG-AFTRA
I'm drawn to re-imagining 'classics' through active adaptations and contemporary approaches.
I also love contemporary work, particularly scripts that are meta-theatrical,
and that embrace heightened language and theatricality.
My work is inclusive always, and queer-forward whenever possible.
I crave bold imagery and design, and I thrive in ensemble-driven processes:
those that promote collective creation and community care.
