Kristin McCalley is an actor, director, producer and devising-artist, with over a decade of experience in Nashville, New York City and most recently, the Catskills. McCalley holds a BFA in Theatre from Belmont University and has worked with companies such as Nashville Children’s Theatre, Blackbird Theatre, Playhouse Nashville, Actor’s Bridge, Spaghetti Theatre, The Verge, and her own production company, The Party.

In 2018, McCalley produced an ensemble-devised production of Charles Mee’s “Big Love” (The Party), which Jeff Ellis at Broadway World called, “the most talked about production of 2018 to date.
