A first generation Hungarian-American, originally from Princeton, New Jersey, Kinga trained as a classical
ballet dancer and theater actor at Princeton Ballet Theater, Atlantic Theater Workshop and NYU Tisch
School of the Arts. After obtaining a B.A. in Cinema from San Francisco State University, Kinga moved to
Hollywood and eventually became V.P. of Development for Penny Marshall’s (A League of Their Own)
company Parkway Productions, overseeing multiple feature films such as Cinderella Man, Bewitched, and
The Harlem Globetrotters Story. Kinga moved on to train at the Groundlings, Improv Olympic and Upright
Citizen’s Brigade. In 2006, her two person sketch show, “I’m Just Not That Into Me,” addressing a myriad of
taboo social issues, earned Kinga an invitation to perform the show at The UCB Sketch Fest, NYC. Kinga’s
2010 AFI Directing Workshop for Women film, the d-monster, is based on her twenty-two character one
person show about her years as a Hollywood development executive. Kinga is currently writing series
projects and features based on her original comedy.
