Job: Cafe Manager at

Dreams and Aspirations:
To have a career as a
female impersonator.
"I want to end up in
New York. "

Chris is new to performing
as a female impersonator,
has won 4th place in the
Miss Kentucky Newcomer
competition, and currently performs every Thursday
night at Connections.
"I can use everything I
learned in theater. I do
my own hair and makeup...
I learned a lot from others."

Chris hardly watches TV, but his
stage name, Trista Ray, was
inspired by the star of
'The Bachelorette' reality
show, Trista Wren.
"Trista cried every time she
dumped a guy, but the men
on 'The Bachelor' didn't
seem to care."

Chris loves every aspect of theater and was very involved in theater in
High School.
"N.A.H.S. has a great
theater program."

Chris performs songs and
dresses as characters from Broadway musicals in
his shows. His favorite
musical is Chicago and
he was thrilled to see
Eric McCormick, of
Will and Grace fame,
on Broadway in
'The Music Man'.
"I'm not portraying these
characters... I'm
channeling them."
