Kristina Lachaga first set foot on stage at age 3 with her wings in tact as a dragon fly ballerina. She was confident and determined even them. Kristina has continued to soar. At the age of 9, this triple threat landed her first musical theater audition for the mainstage production of “Annie” at the famed Bucks County Playhouse in Bucks County, PA. Many more roles followed at the Playhouse which include productions of “State Fair”, “Seussical”, and “Gypsy”, in which Kristina played Baby Louise, working side by side with Joyce DeWitt, star of “Three’s Company”, for a three week run. The stage is her home.
After winning a place in the 2004 Philadelphia IMTA (International Model and Talent Association) Competition Kristina’s vocal talent took her to New York City to compete in singing, modeling, and acting at the summer IMTA Convention. Kristina has competed and placed in other vocal competitions including the National American Miss New Jersey State Pageant in 2006, and most recently in 2009 in SHREK on Broadway’s ‘Not Your Ordinary Princess Contest”, sponsored by Dreamworks and Nickelodeon.
Kristina is most proud of performing as Baby Louise in the 2007-2008 National Tour of “Gypsy” in which she received rave reviews. Traveling to 47 states and Canada made this a most memorable experience.
Kristina sang at the 2009 Women’s NCAA Basketball Tournament Fan Fest at the Sovereign Bank Arena in Trenton, New Jersey. She performs at charity events, most recently for CureSearch, a child cancer research foundation. Kristina has also had the pleasure of volunteering with the Girl Scouts since kindergarten. In addition, Kristina was an Ambassador for American Girl supporting Special Olympics. She loves using her talents to help and inspire others!
In 2009, Kristina was cast as Annie in her school’s Spring Musical Production of “Annie”. She was so excited and honored to play every young girl’s dream role. She was given that year’s Drama Award for her stellar performance.
In March 2010, Kristina received a CARE Award at the star-studded, Red Carpet BizParentz Foundation Event in Hollywood.
Most recently, Kristina was cast in Disney Theatricals New York pilot production of “The Little Mermaid, Jr.” as Aquata, Ariel’s Mersister.
Kristina’s television appearances include: ABC Soap “One Life to Live” and Nickelodeon’s Big Time Rush Music Video for their hit song “Famous”, which premiered in June 2010.
Kristina’s extensive musical theatre background and training, in addition to her incomparable stage presence and strong musicality have given her a place from which to grow. Her adaptability and versatility enable her to take on different music genres vocally, as well as in dance.
She is very excited about her new venture in Pop and Pop Country music. This summer, Kristina has recorded four cover songs. Kristina is currently working on writing and recording her own songs.
Kristina enjoys figure skating, rock wall climbing, soccer, playing the violin and piano, modeling, traveling, meeting new people, studying Spanish, having fun with friends, and performing (of course!). Most of all, she treasures time spent with her family.
At age 15, Kristina is an ‘A’ student and is also fully committed to her craft. She looks forward to growing as an artist and the excitement of future opportunities.
