LEILANI CARR

Summary

Graduated with a BFA in Musical Theatre. My dream is to perform on Broadway. During all my years of training, I have mentored and shared my love of theater with aspiring performers. I have worked with Elementary, Middle and High School students using theatre games and skits to promote healthy lifestyle and good decision making, as well as teaching good technique in dance, acting and musical theatre. Along the way I have also created my own photography business to empower performers of all shapes and sizes, especially the LGBTQIA+ community and people of color.
