A staple of our community since age 8, Oriana O’Hare is now a Senior Drama Major at LaGuardia High School! This year, she's stepping into a leadership role via our Teaching Artist in Training Program, getting hands-on experience leading a theater ensemble. Full circle moment: Oriana is doing the program with Adrian, who she started her very first acting class with a decade ago!

Nicole Borbone is a New York City-based actor and graduate of Fordham University's Theatre Performance program who also holds an MA in Educational Theatre from NYU.
