Testimonials from Lauren's colleagues

"I have had the privilege of working with Lauren on several projects, and was a fan of her work long before then. Lauren's ability to paint a picture on stage, and truly utilize the potential of every actor onstage is not only impressive and exciting, but is one of the many reasons actors love working with her. Her willingness as a director to take risks is, as an actor, contagious, and effectively stretches the minds of those she works with in directions that many actors wouldn't think of on their own. The end result of each production is a masterful interpretation of 'script to stage', which the lucky will have a chance to see, and the luckier will have a chance to participate."

"Having worked with Lauren for two years with TheatreRats I would highly recommend her as a director for any project. As a director she has a clear vision of an overall product and she delivers it 100%. As a producer I was able to deliver exactly what we strive for both in message and quality. She is easy to work with from a producer's standpoint, and it is apparent by her product that she is a seasoned and talented director. She has a vast knowledge in various forms of theatre which, in my opinion, help give multiple layers to her work bestowing upon it both depth and beauty. TheatreRats would hire her again anytime."

"I have been directed twice by Lauren and can honestly say that both times I was blown away by my experience. In the rehearsal room with her I always felt uninhibited, and was free to explore all possibilities. She is by no means afraid to take chances, and when she does there is always a payoff. Her vision is remarkably smart and fresh and I always believe in it. She truly epitomizes what up and coming and even some current established directors should aspire to be like."

-Reynold Malcom Hewitt

-Jessica Newton

"Watching Lauren interact with actors in a rehearsal room is quite remarkable. She is a great motivator who makes her actors feel safe. She cultivates a creative relationship with her actors and creative team that is built on trust and respect. Being Lauren's stage manager was a pleasure, and a lesson in professionalism."

-Karen Tiongson
Stage Manager

"One of Lauren's best attributes is that she is not afraid to take a risk. Not only does she tackle the text/plot difficulties within a play, but she works with each actor individually to best highlight their personal strengths on stage. From an actor's perspective, I can't stress enough how much of an actor's director Lauren is, she understands the actor's process and appreciates their work as they begin to build a character. However, she is also instrumental in helping the actor mold their character so that it flows seamlessly into her concept of the production. Furthermore, Lauren has a wonderful eye for pictures on stage. She doesn't just sit back and examine. It's almost as if she needs to immerse herself in the stage picture to truly determine whether or not it functions. She's very hands on and, in my personal opinion, there is no better dream than to work a director that works in this fashion. I look forward to working with her in the future!"
