Education

• University of Central Oklahoma, Edmond, Oklahoma (2022–): Bachelor of Music in Musical Theatre (expected 2026)

Training

• Taylor Made Dance & Theatre, Boca Raton, under Angela Morando-Taylor: College Audition Project (CAP) program (2021–22)

Herr grew up in Boca Raton and trained at Taylor Made Dance & Theatre. She took part in the studio's College Audition Project program, which prepares seniors for university musical theatre auditions, the year before her friend and fellow student Luanda de Hilster. She entered UCO's musical theatre program in fall 2022.

When de Hilster auditioned at UCO in early 2023, Herr, then a freshman, showed her around campus and the "Quad" dorms where many musical theatre students live. According to de Hilster's family, she had been "talking Luanda up to others before she arrived", and told de Hilster's father: "Luanda belongs on that stage with those insanely talented people." De Hilster joined the program that fall.

Career

In February 2026, in her senior year, Herr played Roxie Hart in UCO's production of Chicago at the UCO Jazz Lab in Edmond (February 12–15), directed and choreographed by Nathan Peck. Every reserved performance sold out. De Hilster was a Merry Murderess and one of the show's dance captains.
