Lara Strong

Lara Strong is a professional actor, singer and dancer who is passionate about story-telling in the performing arts. Lara has been studying and working in New York City where she received a scholarship to study Musical Theatre at The American Musical and Dramatic Academy (AMDA). After graduating, Lara immersed herself in the hustle and bustle of the New York City theatre scene where she was seen performing Off-Broadway in the world premiere of ‘Audrey: The New Musical’ (as the Audrey Hepburn understudy and alternate for Young Audrey), performed at Lincoln Center for Broadway’s Future Songbook Series, produced and performed her own one woman cabaret series and represented New Zealand by singing at a NZ government event in NYC. At the same time, Lara continued her training at other institutions including screen acting at the renowned Stella Adler Studio of Acting and Improvisation at The People’s Improv Theatre (The PIT NYC).

Before moving to New York, Lara had extensive training in multiple disciplines of performance since the age of 4 here in New Zealand. She was also heavily involved in the Wellington arts scene, such as being a member of the Long Cloud Youth Theatre Company, performing with Witch Music Theatre, doing improvisation at Rata Studios, starring in the short film ‘Maunga’, performing in many works across Wellington with Tarrant Dance Studios, and dance teaching at ‘Standouts’ children’s performing arts program.

Lara has recently returned to Wellington, and is excited to bring her New York performance experience and training back to Rātā Studios
