About Laurel
Laurel is an emerging actor and singer based in NYC and Boston, with a strong basis in Musical Theatre.
​
Laurel has had a passion for Musical Theatre for as long as she could remember. At 4 years old she began doing shows at her local children's theatre, Concord Youth Theatre, where her parents put her because she would not stop forcing them to watch her do random performances she did for them. Since then, CYT quickly became a second home to her. She has not passed up an opportunity to preform since, doing shows through CYT, her high-school and various summer camps growing up. Somehow she managed to do nearly 60 shows before even attending college.
She also has always had a passion for singing, starting in church choir when she was little, then later joining her high-school's Select Choir and A-Capella group. She began professional classical training at age 11 with Gina Razon, and continues to study with Sharla Nafziger. She is a high Classical Soprano with a mix belt.
​
Laurel has a deep fondness for the classics. Although she loves all material, golden age is where she truly shines. Growing up, Laurel's grandmother would play strictly Julie Andrews Christmas albums for the holidays. She would always tell Laurel stories about how when she was in college she got to see all of the original broadway golden age productions for $.25 standing room tickets. Although alzheimer's slowly got the better of her, the one thing she never ever forgot was an old show tune. It goes without saying that her grandmother would have a strong influence on the woman she would become.
​
Laurel moved to NYC 3 years ago to study Musical Theatre at the American Musical and Dramatic Academy, where she graduated from spring of 2023 with a certificate in Musical Theatre. She has since also studied Acting through The Barrow Group.
​
Since graduating, Laurel has participated in shows such as My Fair Lady On The River and Hello, Dolly! On The River (JWM Theatricals), Candy Cottage Immersive Experience (KGM Theatricals), and various concerts and showcases at Chelsea Table, Green Room 42, Don't Tell Mama, ViceVersa, and more.
​
Theatrics aside, Laurel is a proud new englander with a deep fondness for nature and the outdoors. She also enjoys many other forms of art, including drawing and 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.
