Do you know the way?..
..to San Jose!
Hey guys! Here we are in beautiful San Jose :) This stop is special to my heart because - drum roll please - I've never been to California before! So here I am, and I absolutely love it. In the past 2 days I've been to San Fransisco with some amazing friends, shopped on Haight street and ate Indian food for the first time (PS: naan is now my favorite bread ever). Last night, our entire cast had the privilege of seeing American Idiot the Musical. It was absolutely ridiculous! The cast was stacked and the set was unbelievable, plus we got to see some friends/Spring awakening alumni, John, Gerard and Brian, who were so incredible! After the show, some of us went backstage and saw how the intricate set really works. It was truly an amazing night.
Opening in San Jose tonight! Hope to see you all there :)
Until next time,
Krista :)

Austin, Texas!
Hey guys!
Sorry it's been so long! We just got settled in our beautiful hotel in Austin. The city is wonderful! A bunch of us went to dinner and stumbled across this amazing pond/brook with a stone bridge that could really be the bridge in the My Junk scene! There's also this red swing in the middle of the pond, and Freddy, Justin & I all took turns swinging on it :) It was so fun! Also, the past 2 cities have been cold and rainy, so we're all excited to be going to warm places for the next month! We're having a put-in rehearsal for a few of our newest cast members on Thursday and I'm playing Anna, which should be fun since I haven't rehearsed Anna since July! It feels so great to be back here, and back at work with these amazing people. I really have the best job in the world.
Until next time!

We're Back! :)
Hey guys -
What an amazing 6 weeks I had at home! But I'm feeling even MORE amazing now that I'm back with my Spring family starting up the second leg of our tour! We're at a gorgeous hotel in Milwaukee - my room is enormous. Just wanted to give a quick update of what's happening on our first week back! We have rehearsal with Michael and Kimberly today, and also a huge rehearsal on Monday, where we will welcome our newest cast member Justin Scott Brown! :) That's really all for now, I'll post some pics from our first weeks back soon!
Until next time,
Krista

Update! :)
What Krista has done in the last 5 weeks:
1. Saw my old acting teacher in Avenue Q twice! He/the show was incredible. For those of you who don't know, it's coming back to Off-Broadway in late October! Go out and see it!
2. Visited my best friend at Scranton University for the weekend. Met some crazy kids! They were awesome.
3. Visited my friends and soon-to-be classmates at Pace University! :)
4. Saw Next to Normal, again. Oh...and went across the street to the BBB theater and finally saw my huge face across the Henry Miller Theater - in person. I cringed and smiled and laughed at the same time.
5. Ran a 5K for Race for the Cure! I pretended to be a nursing major at Scranton and ran for free. I also got a cute purple nursing tee-shirt. Ha. My body still kind of hurts.
6. Saw a lot of Paper Mill friends, thank goodness.
7. Went to the U.S Open and sat 3rd row courtside for James Blake. The most surreal experience OF MY LIFE! (next to my opening night in Spring..hehe)
8. Found my new obsession with the TV show Bones. I just can't get enough of it...and David Boreanaz.
9. Ran. a lot.
10. KEPT HEALTHY! yay :)
So, we're more than halfway through this crazy break and I've accomplished most of what I wanted to do! Now I'm just anxious to get back to work and start this next year with these amazing people :)
Until next time,
Krista :)

Home sweet home
Hey guys!
So sorry for not updating at ALL this past month, I've been ridiculously crazy with going on for Martha in DC, rehearsing Wendla in understudy rehearsals & playing her in the big put-in dress rehearsal for the new cast members, and being sick for the last half of Chicago! As most of you know, we're on a 7-week layoff right now, and it's AMAZING! At the same time, I'm missing my Springies, but we've all been chatting via countless internet sources - fbook, twitter, texting, you name it. It's really strange to send all my friends off to college and not be right along side of them, buying textbooks and dorm-y things. I'm no longer the college graduating class of '13, and it freaks me out just the slightest bit. That being said, I couldn't be happier to be a part of this amazing show, and I count my blessings every day that I get to be a kid for another year and just goof off and perform this beautiful piece of art with the craziest, most talented people I've ever met. My dad always says, "If your passion becomes your career, you never have to work another day in your life." I don't feel like I have a typical 'job' because I'm truly living my dream, and it's more than I could ever ask for.
Side note: Ten of my best friends got to see me go on as Thea in DC, how did that happen?! The universe was on my side that day. I told them I'd write about them in my blog, so I am. Happy now, snails?! I love you. :) PS - They were the greatest audience ever. It was a Sunday matinee. They cheered when I legitimately just walked forward in Mama Reprise, DURING the song. God, I love them.
Here's a list of things I'm planning to do during the next 6 weeks of my life:
1. New York City. At least once a week, maybe more.
2. Get my left cartilage, third holes, and right upper ear pierced on Monday. I can let them heal for 6 weeks and be ready to go when we go back to Milwaukee! Love my planning abilities :)
3. Broadway shows - In the Heights, Hair (again), Avenue Q (my acting teacher is playing Princeton in the closing cast! AH! go see him) Billy Elliot, Bye Bye Birdie (seeing friends! and my face plastered all over the theater...yikes.)
4. Visit Claudia, Nicole, Spencer, Kelsey & Charlo at school. Lots of train tickets for lots of weekends.
5. Seeing The Fray with Kels at her school! CRAZY, I know.
6. Organize my life. And my closet. Maybe shop a little. I don't know.
7. Finish writing the 3 songs I started writing at the beginning of the summer.
8. Play a lot of tennis with Mommy & Gi.
9. KEEP HEALTHY. DO NOT GET SICK.
10. Spend lots of time with family.
Until next time,
Krista :)
