Christen loves working as Haberdasher’s publicity manager! Her favorite Haberdasher credits include The Mad Hatter in Alice in Wonderland, Helen of Troy in Doctor Faustus, Satyr 1 in Euripides’ The Cyclops and Rena in Greenberg’s The Maderati. She has also managed publicity for Haberdasher’s productions of Lost and Dracula and has performed with them at FAO Schwartz during their ongoing work with Barefoot Books. She holds a B.A. in English with minors in Sociology and Gender Studies from Wagner College and an M.A. in English from Seton Hall University where she currently works as a full time instructor teaching Introduction to Writing, Writing Workshop, Literature & the Human Psyche, and Business Writing. At Rutgers University, Newark she teaches Art & Culture in Public Service and Communication in the Public Service Sector as a part-time lecturer. She also tutors ESL, writing, and reading for all ages, both privately and through the Seton Hall Writing Center. In 2009, she served as the teaching host for Dramatic Adventure Theatre in the Andean village of Quilotoa, Ecuador. There, she taught English as a second language via acting and playwriting exercises. She is a reviewer for The Shakespeare Bulletin, an academic journal published quarterly by John Hopkins University Press, and she has studied acting at The New Actor’s Workshop, HB Studio, and TVI. Training includes acting technique (both stage and film), performance theory, script analysis, Shakespeare, improvisation, movement, speech, and voice. As a singer, she has studied classically with Kyle Gonyea and has performed as a featured soloist at the 2007 Tiffany's Wall Street Christmas Carols Street Concert with WinceyCo Entertainment. Other favorite NYC stage credits include Angkasa in Arok of Java at Exit, Pursed by a Bear (Dir. Ed Iskandar), Chaska's Mother in Prayer of the Condor with Dramatic Adventure Theatre (as also part of the Kennedy Center's Page-to-Stage Festival), Susie in Confessions of a Self-Pleasure Antagonist, the Mad Hatter in Firecat’s Alice in Wonderland at the Actor’s Temple Theatre, Cleonike in Phare Play’s Lysistrata and Pirate Penny in various shows with the Maritime Pirates at the South Street Seaport Museum. She has also loved working with WinceyCo Entertainment as they travel the NY and NJ area on educational musical tours. Film credits include several thesis films, a philosophy documentary entitled Input/Output, and a recent online video through Magic Bullet Media for Affinia Hotels. She’d like to thank her fellow Haberdashers for keeping things sane in this crazy town! |
