Writer, Creator & Performer
Christine Hauer actually majored in Global Supply Chain Mgmt in college and found acting classes at 27… and then quarantine was apparently the kick in the heart to unlock some sleeping creative babies living inside, re-acquainting herself with ALL of herself. And she found sequins too. Read her poem book here, album of more songs coming in 2021, and get ready for her new genre PLAYFILMS™… it’s gunna be a thing.
