About
Hello!
My name is Lauren and I have over 9 years of professional experience working in the theater scene in New York City and regionally. I have in multiple theater Off-Broadway and have been the associate and assistant director to many Tony winning directors including Rachel Chavkin (Hadestown).
Before the pandemic, I was hired as an Audition Moderator at One-on-One, helping decide which hopeful actors were ready to take these advanced classes. Unfortunately, there is not work for me at the moment there - but I still want to work with students who are looking to begin or improve upon their acting! I specialize in Script Analysis, Acting for the Camera, Character Development, Monologue and Scenework, as well as Audition Technique.
I look forward to hearing from you!
