Kristopher Olinsky

the Director

​I have been working on stage with River City Players for the past year and is so excited to make his directorial debut with Flaming Idiots. Although he's not on stage, you might recognize Kristopher from The Glass Menagerie, Gilligan's Island, and The Mousetrap. The switch to the creative team for this show has really been an eye opening experience and it was all worth it for what he hopes audiences will love. Please enjoy and uncontrollably laugh at these Flaming Idiots!
