I’m Lana Kiara-Smith (she/her), a Long Island-based actress, dancer, singer, and voice actor who graduated from Five Towns College with a BFA in Theatre Arts with a concentration in Musical Theatre. I first had an idea that I wanted to do theatre when I asked my mom, "How much does it cost (yes, cost) to be on Broadway?" as a kid.

I have experience as both a choreographer and dance captain in multiple productions. Growing up, I danced at a studio for 10 years and competed many of those years. I’m a mezzo-soprano with a range of F#3-Bb5. Additionally, I have experience in lighting design and operation, as well as sound mixing for live events.

I’m very interested in music theory, and I play seven instruments, but I'm not proficient enough in any of them to list them under my special skills (piano, acoustic guitar, electric guitar, bass guitar, ukulele, glockenspiel, violin).
