Cara Hunter is a Vancouver-born, Toronto based Canadian actor who has performed on stages across the country and across the continent over her 30-year career. After graduating from the University of British Columbia’s Theatre program, Cara moved to Toronto to perform in the Canadian production of Les Misérables, which ultimately took her across Canada and into the U.S. on the First National Tour as Eponine. She then toured the continent again, this time with Donny Osmond in the original Canadian production of Livent’s Joseph and the Amazing Technicolor Dreamcoat. Following that, Cara performed for four seasons in both plays and musicals at the Stratford Festival, where she was a member of the Festival’s prestigious Young Company and had the opportunity to work with Tony-nominated directors Brian Macdonald and Brian Bedford.
