Dara Orlando is somewhat of a Thespian legend. Before she became the working mom/corporate executive for JP Morgan that she is today, she was one of my very first dance students at Spring Valley. She brought her prior training to my classroom, helping me to build the foundation for a long and prosperous career. She also discovered her penchant for comedy in my first Thespians fall drama, “The Worst High School Play in the World” where, as a sophomore, she hilariously played a queen whose crown was a car hubcap. She spent the rest of her time in high school dabbling in different facets of theater, learning how to focus lights in crew and singing and dancing in the musicals, and of course, making people laugh. Tune in to learn what Dara discovered from her high school arts experiences and how she carries those life lessons with her today. Music: "Hey" Bensound Blog at staceytirro.com
