Tabitha Higgins

Tabitha Higgins was born in East Ridge Tennessee to Bill and Tamberly Higgins, and moved to the top of Lookout Mountain, Georgia, when she was a year old. The oldest of four children, she was home schooled until the end of high school. While in middle school, she and several neighbors worked together to create and perform plays for their neighborhood, all without any adult intervention. Her favorite role was the sister of the murder victim in a Sherlock Holmes parody written by preteens who had never actually read any of Arthur Conan Doyle's writings. Though hilariously bad, these plays were well received by the neighbors.

For a home schooled student in the nineties, there were few opportunities to perform. She was, however, cast as the mother in a production of The Best Christmas Pageant Ever, directed by one of the moms in the home school group.

Following high school, she attended Covenant College on Lookout Mountain in North Georgia. While she was at Covenant, she first had the opportunity to explore the art of filmmaking, volunteering with the student film club for several years (and running it for one semester) while also running camera for a local TV station. Later, she would spend a semester in Los Angeles, California, taking a course in directing actors for the screen and working as an extra for the first time on Colgados en Filadelfia (2005)

While she was in Los Angeles, she corresponded with and fell in love with a boy back home, and when her course was finished, she left Los Angeles to return to Lookout Mountain. She married Tony Croucher in 2009, thinking her creative days were behind her. It wasn't until she was pregnant with their second child in 2013 that she had the opportunity to join a monthly filmmakers' gathering in nearby Chattanooga, Tennessee. It was there that she was introduced to several industry professionals, auditioned for (and was cast in) several web series and discovered that she loved acting even more than she loved working behind the camera. Over the next several years she was able to find intermittent work, including The System (2017) and The Letter (2014), and drove to Atlanta several times to work as an extra on various shows. When her youngest child began school, she enrolled in the Professional Actor Training Program, a two year conservatory led by Rex Knowles and Sherry Landrum.

Tabitha lives just outside Chattanooga, Tennessee, with her husband, two children, and nine pets.
