Lara apparently spent too much time listening to Whitney Houston in the 80’s and 90’s…particularly to the line…”I’m every woman. It’s all in me.” Either that or adult ADD has fully set in. In the corporate world we’d call her “a multi-tasker”.
Currently she splits her time between performing, directing, writing, working with horses, spoiling her dogs and holding down a corporate research job, as well as playing first lady to the lovely and talented, David Tibble.
Directing projects for 2006 included A Case of the Grimms at the Morton Arboretum, a project conceived and executed by the OTC ensemble, as well as the very well received Sophocles Electra for Bohemian Theatre Ensemble, which Lara also adapted. Lara will also direct this year’s Madrigal Dinners at the Morton Arboretum also for OTC. Past directing credits include projects for Theatre-Hikes, Theatre Building Chicago, Pheasant Run Theatre and the Metropolis Arts Centre. Her adaptations and original works have been produced at Pheasant Run, Theatre-Hikes and the Morton Arboretum.
On stage projects over the past year included understudying leading roles in the world premiere Stephen Flaherty/Frank Galati musical Loving Repeating for About Face Theatre at the Museum of Contemporary Art. Later in the year Lara performed a principal role in the new musical Once Upon a Time in New Jersey at the Marriott Lincolnshire Theatre. She will return to the Marriot in early 2007 to perform Jan in Grease. Past performance credits include National tours of Evita (Peron’s Mistress); The Wizard of Oz (Dorothy) and Joseph…(The Narrator). Lara has been fortunate enough to perform leading and supporting roles in many well-known Chicago land venues over the past….well for a long time.
