Aviva received a B.A. in theater arts and an M.A. in education from Rutgers University and acted in small theaters and independent films in New York City. During every class she took, every play she did, and every scene she shot, she imagined creating a fun and accepting environment for others to gain confidence and experience too. Aviva has taught children’s theatre classes, run theater programs at summer camps, and worked with up-and-coming stars of all ages. Being a mom to Lilah, Sadie, and Evan is still her favorite job of all though!

Isabella is so excited to join the LCA family. She has been performing in theater, dance, and film since she began her professional training at the age of 9.

Her passion for performing has only continued to blossom throughout her studies and has developed into a natural love for teaching. Isabella loves working with young, creative minds and thoroughly enjoys sharing in her student’s excitement as they “find” themselves in each new character.

Tappany is ecstatic to have found a home here at LCA. Tappany began her career on stage in middle school, continuing to perform in high school, community theatre programs and finally earning her BA in Communications and Theatre from Temple University. She then went on to perform in local theatres around Pennsylvania and New Jersey following her graduation. Tappany currently works from home here in Chalfont with her husband and two beautiful boys. Performing is in her bloodline as she really honed in on her love for acting while watching her father on stage as a little kid. The world of theatre and performance is where she found her chosen family and grew into herself. She is beyond thrilled to bring that joy, love and inclusivity to the kids at LCA!
