Actor/Singer/Dancer

“Calista Zajac delights as Tina. This is a tiny keg of dynamite who has potential “Broadway star” stamped on her forehead. She can sing, she can dance, she can act. She can!”

— Broadway World

“Young Calista Zajac as Iris, a child avatar, whose purpose is to welcome and satisfy the “guests” in Papa’s Nether Hideway, proves herself to be one of the few child actresses in the area, capable of being an equal of the professionals with whom she is surrounded. Hers is an amazing performance.”

— Broadway World

“Calista Zajac, who has a fantastic voice backed with equally strong acting, plays Winnie Foster. With spunk, a sense of adventure and just a touch of rebellion, Zajac perfectly embodies the character who I looked up to and longed to be when I was younger—and there’s sure to be little girls in the audience who are now doing the same.”

— The Morning Journal

“In the role of Tina, Calista Zajac is enormously entertaining without ever getting on your nerves as child actors are wont to do. She can sing and even belt, and she has some dandy comic timing.”

— Cleveland Scene

“Now we come to the grand prize winner of the evening, Calista Zajac as Tina Denmark. I know for myself at 11 years old, the only thing I could focus on was a shiny object. But Ms. Zajac is a focused tour de force in tap shoes. She is the demonic principle in this play and carries a lot of the show on her precocious shoulders. Zajac is fearless, as she exudes confidence whether she is singing, dancing or acting her little sweet face off. This Bad Seed turns in a brilliant performance, and I am sure she is on the radar for musical theater programs all across the states.”

— Cool Cleveland

“Our ambitious young star, third-grade student Miss Tina Denmark can do it all: act, sing, dance. But it turns out Tina (the brilliantly self-possessed Calista Zajac) has a dark side; we learn what it means to “stop at nothing to be a star.” I remember Zajac as poor little Cosette in Les Miserables. She still looks just as appealingly sweet and innocent as she did then, so it’s delightfully jarring to see what her character carries off in Ruthless!”
