Cadorette graduated with a BFA in Dramatic Arts and Theater from the University of Connecticut[1] in 1979.

Theater and Film Credits

Cadorette performed in multiple dinner theatres with the USO.

Cadorette owned and operated her own restaurant in Los Angeles (until her departure in the late 1990s) called "Mary's Lamb", that was frequented by many celebrities.

In 1999, Cadorette left California and moved back home to Connecticut to take care of her mother who had suffered a stroke. Her mother died eight years later.

The Chapeau Rouge Dance Project

Cadorette and two friends, whom she had known since they were in dance school as children, decided to take up dancing again and share their craft and experience. They formed "The Chapeau Rouge Dance Project" encouraging former, retired, (and often older) dance students to attend classes in the dance studio that they rented.[2]
