reviews
The Boston Pheonix said this of Kristin as Sasha in Ivanov: "Kristin Proctor is suitably girlish yet predatory as Sasha, perkily casting the defeated Ivanov under a spell." "A Hilde Wangel type who finds the older man's angst romantic and sets out to "renew" him."
Back Stage West said this of Kristin as Laura in In Vitro: "Kristin Proctor is surefired as Laura, one of those lovely careful women, who has done everything right and refuses to admit there might not be a reward." As well as: [...] "Christensen has a very polished voice and did we mention those fantastic actors?"
