Cara’s love for performance started when she had the lead role in her preschool’s production of The Three Little Pigs. A love for narrative lead her to study literature and get her Master’s degree. After teaching high school for many years she discovered improv, and the rest is history. Now, she dedicates her energy to performance arts, whether that is doing it, teaching it, coaching it, writing it, or enjoying it.
