Testimonials

As an Actor…

  • Meghann Deveroux, Actor

    Dammit if you aren’t amazing ... You are an ideal scene partner who rolls with the punches, explores the scene, and is present ... I’m so grateful that we have met and I look forward to any chance where we would get to play together again.

  • Rob Scoles, Actor

    You have such a command of the language and storytelling. You give so much onstage and it shows. Your acting choices were many and varied. This told me you are a smart actor. I enjoy that in actors. Being a fellow actor it makes playing a scene all the better. You also understand the ability to grab us and in turn we care about your work onstage. Your energy was great. Thank you for creating such a beautiful character that was not an actor acting but a real breathing person. Thank You!!!

  • Richard J. Burt, Actor

    It was a highlight of my theatre career getting to work with you ... It's an amazing feeling when you really trust a fellow performer, and I feel like we were right there with each other every performance. I am very grateful for this experience, and sincerely hope we get to work together again.

  • Joe Todaro, Staff Director, Emmett Hook Center for the Performing Arts

    The only thing you need to know about Laura is she comes with a creative quiver of arrows that would make Robin Hood jealous.

    She has a beautiful singing voice and a great range. She is a director’s delight in that she gets inside her character and works her way out, willing to take suggestions, bringing a unique aspect to every character, but not needing to be coddled. She brings a spark to the stage whenever she steps onto it to speak, sing, or dance.

As a Team Member…

  • Dr. Charles Pridgen D.M.A, Owner, Lagniappe Entertainment

    I worked as musical director with Laura on Little Theatre of Weston's Music of The Night Halloween Revue show. Laura always has a clear vision for a show and is extremely well organized. Communication comes easy with her and her direction to the performers is precise and clear. Aside from being a director, she is also a talented performer who brings a command and presence to the stage that cannot be overlooked. Whether as a performer or a director, Laura is a major asset for any theatre.

  • Cathy Airhart Webb, Owner & Director, CA Studio

    I have worked with Laura for many years and have always been thrilled to have her on the CA Studio creative team. She brings leadership, inspiration, organization and stellar performance to all my theatre, film, and education needs.

  • Joe Todaro, Staff Director, Emmett Hook Center for the Performing Arts

    Off stage, Laura is a creative collaborator for graphics, design elements, even social media content. I have worked with her in two very challenging musicals, Into the Woods and Mamma Mia! My only regret is she has moved too far from me to use her creativity in more productions.

    If you need someone who contributes above and beyond to any creative project, you need look no further.

  • Benjamin Gross, Director, Actor

    Any production is enhanced by every measurable level when Laura is involved. As an actress, she is prepared, fearless, and eager to take direction after presenting her choices. As a stage manager or director, she has an invaluable clarity and communication style that is equal to the task or whomever is in the room. As a friend, she is loyal, fierce, and dependable; the kind of person you’d want by your side in a warzone or at your mother’s funeral. To say she’s versatile to the given situation is a tremendous understatement; she is the embodiment of what a true performance artist should be.

As a Teacher…

  • Mary Jane Norman

    A very experienced and knowledgeable person and I have learned a lot and was always looking forward to class! Very professional!

  • Anne Nichols Brown

    Laura is an absolutely excellent acting coach. Her knowledge of the industry and performing truly is so comforting and evident during session. She has not only helped in strengthening my acting, but has been continual guidance when on set and exploring characters and different pieces.

  • Jenn Hensley

    Laura has a vast knowledge of many things and she is a committed lifelong student, always learning and improving her skills, which in turn helps her own private studio excel. We all know someone who has said- 'if you want to be the best, you have to work with the best.' If you work with Laura, you will be working with the best.

  • Hannah Magee

    Laura's teaching style is excellent and inclusive for all levels of actors. After one month of adult acting class, I felt prepared to audition for multiple types of roles and like I had a great toolbox to use in future performances.

  • Mitchell Pennington

    Laura is one of the most professional performers/directors I’ve had the pleasure working with. She’s acted as a great mentor and friend in my own performance endeavors, offering guidance, patience, and professionalism in every experience I’ve worked with her.
