Kirsten Vangsness is and best known for her portrayal of the bespectacled tech kitten, Penelope Garcia on the long running hit drama “Criminal Minds” which is in the middle of shooting its twentieth season. On the film side, Kirsten starred as the torch-singing femme fatale in the critically acclaimed film noir spoof KILL ME, DEADLY which she also executive produced, her other film appearances include THE AMISH STUD, DAVE MADE A MAZE, and DIANE & DEVINE MEET THE APOCALYPSE. She tours regularly with “Selected Shorts” which you can hear on the “Selected Shorts” podcast. Kirsten is a proud member of the Los Angeles theatre community where she has originated roles in Sheila Callaghan’s EVERYTHING YOU TOUCH, Erik Patterson’s I WANT TO HOLD YOUR HAND, the west coast premiere of Neil Labute’s FAT PIG at the Geffen Playhouse.
Kirsten’s began writing in a journal inn 5th grade as a result of her deep crush on Harriet the Spy, which spun into co-writing 5 episodes of Criminal Minds, a basketful of plays including “Potential Space” (best playwright of the year nomination- LA Weekly), “Mess” and “Cleo, Theo & Wu” (both going to Edinburgh Fringe produced by Assembly Rooms).
OUTDATED is the result of Kirsten sharing a dating story with her friend and national treasure Roxane Gay and Roxane responded “You need to write a play about this, it would help people.” Outdated premiered at the 2025 Hollywood Fringe and then went on to San Fransisco Sketchfest and now finds itself at your theatre which Kirsten is DEEPLY DELIGHTED about.
You can find Kirsten speaking on her passions and creativity on her YouTube show “Kirsten’s Agenda” which is currently on its 4th season and Kirsten is the creator and host of “Bits!” A monthly creativity salon in Hollywood that raises money for local causes and gives the community a place to create new art.
