Christina Yoho - Ghost of Christmas Past
Christina Yoho can be found around Columbus with the Good Medicine clowns since 2017, and at the Ohio Renaissance Festival with On the Fly (improv storytelling and mostly planned acrobatics) since 2024. Other recent productions include Machinal (Sound Company), Love's Labour's Lost, Tale of Two Cities (Actors' Theatre of Columbus), and POTUS (Contemporary). Extreme gratitude to Xerxes (cat) for existing, and Kristie for making a Christmas Carol that has room for your truth even when it's deep loathing for productions of Christmas Carol.
