Born and raised in Illinois, Heather Moran has been performing for most of her life. She studied voice as a child at New Trier High School and Northwestern University in Illinois. As an adult, she studied opera at Carnegie-Mellon University in Pennsylvania, and the University of Colorado. She eventually returned to Chicago to earn a BA in Theater from Columbia College. Over the past several years, Heather has divided her time between her two loves: acting and singing. As an actor, Heather has worked with numerous theater companies in Chicago, but most extensively with the Factory Theater, a storefront community theater company in their eleventh season with over 100 all original productions under their belts. Heather is also a Second City alumna skilled in improvisational theater.

As a singer, Heather has performed in many settings: nightclubs, weddings, private and corporate functions, and most notably, on Navy Pier's two premiere dinner cruise ships, Mystic Blue and The Odyssey. Some venues she has appeared at include: San Francisco's Empire Plush Room, Drury Lane Water Tower, Katerina’s, Grant Park, Andy’s Jazz, Park West, The Acorn Theater in Michigan’s Three Oaks, Café Luciano, The Stonefire Restaurant, Tivoli, Tuscany-Wheeling, Webster’s Wine Bar, Magnum's Steakhouse, Davenport’s, Gold Star Sardine Bar, Martyr's, and Joy Blue. She just recently ended an 12-month engagement at Chicago Old Town’s wonderful Bistrot Margot and can be seen frequently performing at Katerina’s on Irving Park. She was recently a regular performer at Tivoli Ristorante in West Chicago and frequently performs for the city of Chicago’s Cultural Affairs department.

Heather is currently singing in the critically acclaimed musical trio, 3Girls3, performing a nostalgic '40s show, a hit Burt Bacharach review, and a Christmas show. Frequently, Heather can be seen singing jazz with the Damian Espinosa Quartet and with Alan Gresick's eighteen piece Swing Shift Orchestra. Heather is an active member of Chicago Cabaret Professionals and currently serves on the board as Co-Press Governor.
