| 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, years
later, my parties are very different than
they were and still so much fun to do. I taught
myself how to play guitar, which also prompted
me to write and record some of my music as
featured on 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. Other schools
where I teach music include Lakeview Child
Center in Manalapan, Hop to It in Englishtown,
Goddard School in Manalapan and Kiddie Academy
in Freehold. I also teach Music and Movement
at Black Bear
Lake 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 2010, for example, I directed eight
children between 9 and 12 years old in a production
of “A Bagful of Fables” at the
Center Playhouse. They worked all year long
on it and it was fantastic. We can’t
wait to plan our show for this year! |
