Kristin Sgarro Biography
Kristin Sgarro (they/them) is a nonbinary actor, musician, and emcee in New York City.For over a decade, Kristin has been working as an actor/director almost exclusively in Shakespeare's canon, and in that time has appeared in Romeo & Juliet (Romeo), Twelfth Night (Feste, Viola, Olivia), Othello (Emilia), As You Like It (Celia, Phebe/LeBeau), A Midsummer Night's Dream (Helena, Hermia), and many more. Also a dabbler in new works and devised theater, their work can be observed in various projects with AMiOS, No Exit Theater Collective, Regeneration Theater, and in new works hosted by The Bechdel Group, SheNYC, and The Tank. They also recently debuted the love-lorn Skeeter in Juliann Lavallee's Under Woodside in the summer of 2021.
In their off-hours, Kristin helms the fort as the Founding Artistic Director of Match: Lit, a [let’s-mess-with-]Shakespeare company, and emcees its monthly reading series BARDcore, where a clever adaptation of a Shakespeare play meets trivia over libations with fellow Shakesnerds.
As a musician, Kristin works in venues all over the city, and has composed original music and arranged music for many independent NYC theater companies, including Match: Lit (As You Like It, Othello, and 2022's Twelfth Night), AMiOS' SHOTZ! series ("Shared Communal Space", And SHOTZ! For Something Virtually Different), Everyday Inferno (Iphigenia Among the Taurians’ a cappella chorus), and for Victoria M. Fragnito's new play, Scar Tissue, among others. Select MD credits include The Last Five Years (reorchestrations and new arrangements, conductor/live piano), Assassins, Captain Louie (Conductor/Piano 1 for live remote orchestra), Schoolhouse Rock Live!, A Year With Frog And Toad, and one-woman Fringe favorites Fate, Fury, and Musical Theater and Monica Lewinsky Sings Your Heart Out!.
A firm believer in representation, Kristin aims to tell updated versions of classic stories with the bodies of modern people, both to address the inequities so often experienced in classical theater and to show young theatergoers everywhere that they, too, can tell - and play a part in - all kinds of stories.
