Daphne is also the founder and artistic director of Light in the Attic Productions – a non-profit organization by actors for actors that aims to discover unique talents, help performers find their light, and illuminate original stories.
Currently she is on her third contract as a Lead Vocalist with AIDA Cruises, positioned this time in the Caribbean, where she performs everything from Musical Theatre to the Beatles, Queen, Abba, classic rock, original songs, and crowd favourite hits.
Daphne is a graduate of The American Musical and Dramatic Academy in New York City where she earned her certificate in The Musical Theatre Integrated Program. She also spent years privately vocal training with Broadway’s Caissie Levy.
Her recent theatre credits include Charlotte in the World Premiere of Fool's Gold the Musical, Emma in The Prom with NUOVA Vocal Arts, Janet in The Drowsy Chaperone at the Citadel Theatre and Maria in The Sound of Music at Morinville Community Cultural Centre.
