Piper’s interest in art began with a deep love for exploring the world through reading books and adventuring in nature. Writing and reading continue to play a pivotal role in shaping and inspiring her creative development. These early experiences ignited imagination and curiosity, laying the foundation for her artistic journey.

 Since her notable beginning as Gretel in The Sound of Music with Leavenworth Summer Theater Miss Lodato has appeared in over 20 stage productions, demonstrating her versatility and skill in performances such as A Midsummer Night’s Dream, Hamlet, Newsies Jr, Present Laughter, and The Laramie Project. Her comprehensive training includes six years of vocal instruction with Amy Edwards, dance studies under Trisha Miller, and acting technique refinement with Michelle McCormick, William Church, and other distinguished mentors.

Thank you to all my teachers, cast and crew over the years! ~PL
