I am a Chicago native. So I am all about anything Chicago. From the sports to the food, and all the sights in between, it is always home to me. When I am not on stage performing you can find me going on adventures with my friends, and spending time with my family. One of my favorite hobbies is traveling. I love exploring new places. Whether it be a quaint small town or a mountain I am ready for it all. My all-time favorite thing to do is spend time with my dog, Khloe. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5d7031c8bfef9f0001e1a397/6790fcc9-5f1d-422e-bd47-fa2510f562c7/Screenshot+2022-06-15+10.52.43+PM.jpg About - MAUREEN O’HARA I received my BFA in Musical Theatre from The University of Wisconsin Milwaukee, where I graduated cum laude in May 2019.
