Kirsten is thrilled to have a sitcom in production. Kirsten is the series lead, headwriter, and creator of ALWAYS A BRIDESMAID, a comedy set in the offices of the Marry Well Boutique, a one-stop shop for discount weddings. Every episode features a different wacky wedding - hippies, teens, cougars, sailors and bridezillas run amok as the wedding planners attempt to deal with the chaos.

RECENT NEWS
Probably the TV show thing is news enough - however, Kirsten also had a fabulous visit to Edmonton, appearing as a guest improvisor in the acclaimed comedy shows DIE-NASTY and BIG STUPID IMPROV.
Alert: Kirsten now enjoys soy and granola, as required by Vancouver's by-laws; but prefers jazz dance to yoga and refuses to wear hemp.
