“As an artist, Lauren is excellent at creating still, rich moments where the air reverberates with meaning, purpose, and community. As an educator, she is a holder of space and asker of questions.

Lauren is a gardener of similes, a baker of moments, a brewer of hope.”

-Lauren Jost, Spellbound Theatre

“Lauren has the ability to nurture small sparks of creativity in others. People working with her often discover places in themselves and their work almost without realizing they are putting in effort. She will point out surprises and nudge them toward brave steps forward - all while continuing to wrap each person in warmth.”

-Lindsey Buller-Maliekel, The New Victory Theater
