Kristin Taylor's name first appeared in the HLT January 2005, Newsletter. She was welcomed to Highlands Little Theatre as a new member and also named as winning the part of Frieda in Peter Pollards January production of The Allergists Wife.
The playbill for the January play supplied this information: "Kristin Taylor (Frieda) is another new face on the HLT stage. She has spent her life performing and working behind the scenes. Kristin earned a BA in theatre from Yankton college and completed postgraduate study in Directing and Theatrical Criticism at Miami University of Oxford in Ohio.

Kristin recently retired from her real estate business in New Hampshire and moved to Florida. She lives in Sebring with her husband, Jack, and her Boxer, Riggs.
In the June 2005, HLT Newsletter it was announced that Kristin Taylor and Tammie Pollard will be the new editors of the Newsletter beginning in August, 2005. Kristins' name also appeared in the June 2005, playbill of I Do! I Do! as a member of the set construction team for the musical.
The July HLT Newsletter announced that Kristin was awarded the part of Fraulein Schneider in Melanie Boulay and Jennifer Westergom's August reprise of the musical Cabaret.
Two other articles in the July Newsletter noted that Kristin was a member of the current HLT Advertising and Publicity Committee and observed that as the upcoming co-editor of the Newsletter she would focus on the publishing side of the monthly paper.
Since joining Highlands Little Theatre in January, just ten months ago, Kristin's name has appeared in twenty-one local news articles; she has participated in three of the plays offered this season and won a Gracie Award in July and a Zenon in October. Her name has appeared in five HLT Newsletters and since August she has been the co-editor of HLT's Newsletter.
Kristin's October Zenon was awarded for her outstanding portrayal of Frau Schneider in Melanie Boulay and Jennifer Westergom's multi-Zenon winning revival of Kander and Ebb's musical Cabaret.
What follows is an update of what Kristin has been doing since she received her Cabaret Zenon in October, 2005.
Kristin hasn't been idle, she has been involved with every production during the Thirty-second Season. She was in charge of props for Mike McMillian's comedy Hoodwinked in November and her name also appeared in the program as one of the House Managers. In January she was the Assistant Director and a Co-Producer of Denise Miriani's chiller Wait Until Dark and also one of its Sound Technicians; In March, Kristin's name was again found in the listing of the House Managers in the program for Joe Willis' musical Seven Brides for Seven Brothers.
In late April Kristin appeared in the "Extra" revue, Melanie Boulay and Jennifer Westergom's presentation of Broadway in Concert, as one of the singers and chorus girls, and in June she played the part of Mona Monet in Mac Byron's spoof, Drop Dead; she was also Mac's Assistant Director.
Kristin rounded out the season as a Sound Technician for Tammie Pollard's successful musical Grease and was once again listed as a House Manager in the show's program.
At the Twenty-first Zenon Ceremonies Kristin received her second Zenon, a Board Service Award, for her service on the marketing and Newsletter Committees.
