Dara Zan
Dara earned her fine arts degree from Indiana University where she also performed at The Bloomington Playwrights Project. After graduating Dara moved back to her hometown of Chicago where she studied at The Piven Theatre. She found her love of improv and sketch when she began training at The Second City, iO (formerly Improv Olympic), The Annoyance Theater, and ComedySportz. At Second City Chicago Dara was featured in the sketch show, Major Reservations-Party of 7, and two different runs of Knuckleball: A Sketch Comedy Revue.
In Chicago, Dara’s study of improv gave her the chance to perform with a number of amazing groups; including the acclaimed, The Davenports, an improvised soap opera. The Davenports had a long standing run and was one of few groups that became an offical selection of the 2012 Chicago Sketchfest and the 2012 Kalamazoo Improv Festival.
