About Laurel
Laurel is your classic, charming, and quirky ingenue both on and off the stage.
​
With her life-long passion for musical theatre Laurel spent all of her childhood diving head first into as much theatre and art as she possibly could. Somehow she managed to do nearly 60 shows before moving to NYC for college to get a certificate in Musical Theatre from American Musical and Dramatic Academy. She has been in classical vocal training since age 10 and has a gorgeous 3 octave vocal range as a soaring classical soprano with a flexible mix belt.
​​​
Since recently graduating school, Laurel has been doing some theatrical work in the city, including My Fair Lady On The River and Hello, Dolly! On The River (JWM Theatricals), Candy Cottage Immersive Experience (KGM Theatricals), an equity reading of the new musical TESLA through The York Theatre Company, and various concerts and showcases at Chelsea Table, Green Room 42, Don't Tell Mama, ViceVersa, and more. She recently made her Off-Broadway debut at Classic Stage Company playing Amara in The Last Piece!
​
Theatrics aside, Laurel has many other passions both in the arts and beyond! With a knack for artwork she has been drawing and painting recreationally since she was young. She is also proud new englander with a deep fondness for nature and the outdoors and is a passionate environmentalist advocating and donating to numerous enviormental causes. As you can guess this would also make her some amount of an adventurer! She loves to travel and explore with friends and family. Her passion for art and nature also led to her discovery of photography! She mostly does recreational nature photography.
​
Laurel is incredibly grateful and honored to be able to pursue her life's passion, and cannot wait to see what the world has in store for her!
