Lia Rose Dugal

Lia was born in a small town in Northern California, the youngest of four children and a variety of dogs and cats as pets. Her most beloved childhood pets include her dog, Ollie and her cat, Jamocha. Growing up in the country on five acres afforded her lots of time for creative play, both outside and inside, with childhood friends with whom she still remains close ties. During her growing up years, she took acting classes outside school and at various summer camps. She also took piano lessons from kindergarten through 8th grade, but grew tired of it. She took tap and jazz classes all through school and even in college, and loved it. In high school, she started taking private voice lessons in both Italian opera and musical theatre. She owes a lot to her high school voice teacher in her training as a performer. After high school, she lived for a year in San Francisco and traveled to Italy on study abroad, visiting many countries and friends in Europe, such as Switzerland and France. To visit Paris was a childhood dream fulfilled and she longs to return someday. She finally moved to Ashland, OR and studied Theatre and Human Communication at Southern Oregon University. She began acting professionally in 2012 in Theatre and has now moved to film. She has acted in many theaters in Southern Oregon and has had a part in many films and commercials in that area. She also works as a model.
