Kristen Paarlberg
(Princess)
Kristen is so excited to be acting in her first 4th Wall Players show, and in such a fun role! This is not only her first production with 4th Wall, but her first in the entire state of Indiana, as she moved here from Maine just after Thanksgiving with her husband and two fur babies. In Maine she did community theater for seven years, with highlights being when she played the characters of Hunyak in “Chicago” (2019) and Sally in “Drinking Habits” (2022). While she's been in many musical ensembles, this is her first time in a principal role and she certainly hopes to do the character justice! When she's not acting, Kristen is a pet sitter (always taking new clients!) and enjoys reading and baking. She would like to thank her parents for making the journey all the way from Maine to support her, and her husband for being her number one fan always. Enjoy the show, princesses (yes, even you)!
