Kara grew up in Pittsburgh, PA with her two sisters. Her family has since transplanted to a warmer climate and now lives in Charlotte, NC. Kara has been a proud New Yorker for the past 10 years.
Kara has been performing for as long as she can remember. She started playing piano and violin at the age of 3. Her love for music brought singing, dance, and theatre into her life at an early age as well. She pursued her love of theatre and graduated Suma Cum Laude from Point Park University in only 3 years.
Kara's favorite role is playing Aunt Kara to her 4 amazing nephews and 1 perfect niece. She tries to spend as much of her free time with them as possible.

A MAN OF NO
IMPORTANCE
BOOK BY TERRENCE McNALLY
MUSIC BY STEPHEN FLAHERTY
LYRICS BY LYNN AHRENS
DIRECTED BY JOHN DOYLE
Lynn Ahrens, Stephen Flaherty, and Terrence McNally’s acclaimed musical A Man of No Importance tells the story of an amateur theater group in 1960s Dublin and their leader, bus driver Alfie Byrne. Determined to stage a production of Oscar Wilde’s Salome despite the objections of local church authorities, Alfie confronts the forces of bigotry and shame over a love "that dare not speak its name.” This evocative and award-winning musical illustrates the redemptive power of theater, love, and friendship, all for a man of seemingly no importance.
