As a young girl, Sarah Jessica Parker trained in singing and ballet, and was soon cast in the Broadway revival of William Archibald's The Innocents. Her family moved to Cincinnati, Ohio and then to Dobbs Ferry, New York, near New York City, so that Sarah Jessica Parker could get specialized training. There, her mother and stepfather helped Sarah Jessica Parker develop her career as a child actress. In 1977, the family moved to the newly opened planned community on Roosevelt Island, in the East River between Manhattan and Queens, and later to Manhattan. The family later moved to Englewood, New Jersey, where Sarah Jessica Parker attended Dwight Morrow High School.
