BIO

Krystle Tugadi is an actor, singer, and writer based out of Los Angeles, California. She received her M.F.A. in Acting at California Institute of the Arts and her B.A. in Theatre at California State University, Dominguez Hills.  Currently, she is in a virtual workshop of the musical Carnival as Rosalie directed by Blake Harris. Past roles on stage include Brooke Ashton/Vicki in Noises Off! (CSU, Dominguez Hills), Kathy in Supplies and Provisions (Thymele Arts), Sonia in Dreamlandia (California Institute of the Arts), Rene in Personals the Musical (The Gallery Theatre), Agnes in Agnes of God (CSU, Dominguez Hills), and Seasons of Love Soloist/Ensemble Member in RENT (Cypress College).  

Krystle is also a singer-songwriter and has written, composed, and produced her own album entitled, Time, which debuted in 2011.  She has been the opening act for R&B singer-songwriter, Miguel, at the Key Club in Los Angeles, and was the headliner for shows such as the Jazzmopolitan All-Stars at the Ford Ampitheatre and the Festival for Philippine Arts and Culture in Los Angeles.    

Krystle has also teamed up with one of her closest pals, Dustin Domingo, to produce the new podcast called “MeSearch”. The podcast will be reclaiming the academic term that has historically been viewed in a negative light to celebrate and highlight the Filipino/x/a-American experience and the community’s movers and shakers.

Her love for sharing theater and performance has also brought her to teaching in K-12 and higher education. Being a AmeriCorps scholar, Krystle instructed junior high and high school LAUSD students as an Acting for Stage Teacher. She currently also works as a Program Coordinator and Educator for the non-profit organization, Housing Corporation of America.

In her free time, Krystle loves to be a homebody with her cutie husband, Mike Isberto - a most incredible singer/songwriter (check him out!). She also loves to cook, read, and paint. Anything in mini-form excites her. She also loves llamas and believes that Grover is her kindred spirit puppet person.
