About
I have been teaching, writing and directing theatre for 25 years, and I have always prided myself on my ability to bring out the inner professional in any performer I'm working with, regardless of age or level of experience. I have a strong creative intuition and a highly discerning eye, and am able to apply these qualities directly to my work with actors. I tailor every lesson/session/class/rehearsal to the needs of my students/cast in the moment, and approach our work together in a manner which balances process with product.
There is nothing in the world that I do or have ever done that I enjoy more about working with actors. It doesn't matter the age or experience level of the actor as long as they have passion and the willingness to dig in with me and uncover the magic that exists beneath the surface. I have an intense respect for actors and the process of acting, and feel privileged to be there for and with them as they discover their innate abilities through the work.

She cant wait to go to class! Lara really knows how to relate and work with the
adolescent/teen age group. Lara relates to the real world, but knows when to take a break
from reality -Isabelle Meachen
