Born and raised in New Orleans, Allison's love of the arts started early in life. She began formal dancing at age three. The stage soon called for her and at age 7 she began theater. Her involvement in the arts continued through high school where she had the opportunity to do high school plays and during her Senior Year was asked to be a part of National Art Honor Society. She is a mother of 4 (ages 24-12) and has been married to her high school sweetheart for 25 years. Allison and her family have been a part of CYT since it began in 2013.
