"Laura is one of the best directors I've worked with. She has a strong vision and makes bold choices, while at the same time being very open, collaborative and respectful of the writer; it's a tricky balance, but she pulls it off with grace and wonderful sense of humor. I'd work with Laura again anytime."

-William Bivins, playwright, "The Afterlife of the Mind"

 

"I have worked with Laura on a few projects and would  follow her anywhere. She is absolutely not afraid to take risks, and takes on projects simply because it's not the safe thing to do, and considers each and every idea thoroughly with an open heart and mind. Live theater in order to survive needs to expand its envelope, and Laura succeeds in punching through each time."

"I've worked with Laura twice now as my director and she remains my favorite director. She is an actor's director for sure. Laura has everything mapped out when you arrive for the first rehearsal so you don't have to worry about anything, you just do the work. If any unforeseen circumstances arrive, she handles the stress with grace and fortitude, never letting the actor down or the production suffer. I walked away from my first show with an overwhelming feeling of joy, satisfaction and strong desire to work with her again, it was effortless. I look forward to working with her again, knowing I'll learn and grow as an actor. Lucky you if you get the chance."

-John Steen, Actor
