Another Local Gal Makes Good!

Once again I get to brag on a local theatre alumnus who is doing great work out there!

Today we're talking about the lovely and talented Laura LaCara, who starred in more local shows than I can count! This fall she'll start her senior year studying theatre at Wright State.

And now she's received a big honor! The Dayton City Paper makes yearly "Best of the Theatre Season" picks every year. The paper covers the arts in the area, including touring and resident professional productions.

Both students and professionals compete for the same awards, and Laura received an honorable mention in the Breakthrough Female Performance category, for the role of Mrs. Lovett in Sweeney Todd! You can read about it right here!

It would be impressive if she were just competing against the talented students in the Dayton area, but to be honored alongside professional actors shows her talent! Friends who saw the show raved about her performance (I, sadly, didn't get to see it).

I'm so happy for her - she's an incredibly gifted singer, dancer and performer, and I know the future is bright for Laura!
