| About
Dylan! |
|
 |
| My interest in
performing began for me at a very young age.
I am very fortunate to have found a career
in which I can live the dream of making a
living singing and performing, and still spend
most of my time raising my children. |
| I got my BFA
in Acting/Directing from Syracuse University.
After graduation, I spent 5 years in NYC pursuing
a professional acting career. While there,
I found a teaching position at a popular play
program that was looking for actors. |
|
| The
love of singing for and teaching very young
children encouraged me to pursue another avenue
in my career. Three years later, I earned
my Masters in Teaching from Montclair State
University. The program emphasized Early Childhood
Education and I earned my NJ Certification
for Teaching, Grades N – 8. |
 |
| During one of
the classes I was teaching, someone asked
me to do a birthday party for their child
– and the rest is history! I began doing
children's parties, developing them along
the way into my own personal style. So, fifteen
years later, my parties are very different
than they were and still so much fun to do.
A few years ago, I taught myself how to play
guitar, which also prompted me to write and
record some of my music. I just finished my
very first CD, “Sing Along with Miss
Dylan.” |
| I
live in Manalapan, New Jersey with my wonderful
husband and two children. Currently, I am
teaching music and “Mommy & Me”
classes at Ivy League Preschool, and music
at Lakeview Child Center, both in Manalapan.
I also teach Music and Movement at Ivy League
Day Camp during the summer. |
| When
I started to miss theatre, I decided to create
an acting program for children. Monmouth County
Theatre for Kids is my latest venture. Classes
are for children ages 4 – 12 and vary
according to interest in the community. In
March of 2008, for example, I directed eight
children between 10 and 12 years old in a
production of “Little Red Riding Hood”
at the Eatontown Playhouse. They worked all
year long on it and it was fantastic. We can’t
wait to plan our show for next year! |
