Welcome to KristalYee.com!

I'm excited for the new website, and excited for what the new year has in store! Keep on checking back to see what's coming up. Believe me when I tell you that I'll let you know what's going on, as soon as I know what's going on. And I've got big plans for this year. Very. Big. Plans.

Knock on wood.

Take a look through the site, and as always, feel free to drop me a comment. Here's to a happy, healthy, and successful 2009!

...and then I'm off to Alberta (Banff, to be exact), to rehearse a show! I'm now a part of Parks Canada's Mountain World Hertitage Interpretive Theatre Troupe - what a mouthful!

I am stoked. Stoked! This is going to be a fantastic job. It's an 8-week contract, and not only do I get to travel to Alberta and do an out-of-province show, but I am also fortunate enough to be working with Kyla Read, whom I went to school with, then toured a children's theatre show with, a few years ago. Now, we get to do it again - although this time, I get to act, instead of being Production Manager.

We'll be rehearsing in Banff for 3 weeks, touring Calgary schools for 2, Edmonton for 2 (possibly with a Kelowna show thrown in the middle for variety), and Western Alberta for the last week. The last time I did an out of town show was straight out of high school, when I set off for New Hampshire for a month (not counting filming in Victoria. Or sketch in Seattle. Hmm.) - this time, it's closer but twice as long. So exciting!

I flew into Calgary and took a shuttle up to Banff for my audition, and it was beautiful. I'm so glad that I get to see it again! I'm driving up this time, with another cast mate, Gemma Issac (she's actually on the other cast, but, same troupe!) - what makes it better (cooler?) is that we all went to school together!

This contract has all of the makings of a fantastic show, and time altogether, and I am excited and very happy to be a part of this. If you're in Alberta, I believe we're touring elementary schools - keep your eyes peeled for Mountain WHIT, and "Faces of Fire"!
