Kristi Woods
- Actress
Kristi Woods is a Toronto-based actor and vocalist celebrated for her emotional depth, bold presence, and instinctive storytelling. She launched her professional career in 2019, and in 2023, made a standout appearance in the Dora-nominated Rock of Ages at the Elgin Theatre. Since then, she has carved out a dynamic, multi-faceted path-seamlessly moving between the high-voltage energy of musicals, the quiet intimacy of plays, and the layered nuance of film and television.
A passionate collaborator, Kristi has contributed to numerous new Canadian musical workshops, helping shape original work from first drafts to first stages. Her portrayal of Jennie Malone in Chapter Two at Stage West earned her a Best Leading Actress nomination and marked a pivotal moment in her career-cementing her love for character-driven comedy and emotionally resonant roles.
While her voice brings power and versatility, it's her acting-deepened through mentorship with the late David Rotenberg that grounds her work in truth, connection, and presence. Kristi brings fire, empathy, and fearless authenticity to every performance-continually seeking work that challenges the craft, connects through story, and leaves something lasting behind.
