Born and raised on Long Island, Dara started auditioning when she was 8 years old when she went on her first professional Broadway audition. At 10, she was cast in the role of the Little Girl in the original production of Ragtime, opposite John Rubenstein and, later, Michael Rupert. After high school, Dara attended New York University's Tisch School of the Arts, where she earned a BFA in Drama. ? In 2017, Dara started "Growing Up Broadway". What started as a one off cabaret, it had now grown into three separate shows at 54 Below:"Back to Before: Former Broadway Return to the Stage", "Now and Then: Current and Former Broadway Kids Take the Stage", and "Switched: Current and Former Broadway Kids Trade Places". The project has grown and continues to grow into a community of Broadway kids (past and present). In addition to her concerts in the "Growing Up Broadway" series, Dara is also co-producer of the off-Broadway musical "Broadway Bounty Hunter" starring Annie Golden.
