Lauren is a NYC-based writer, actor, comedian and musician. She studied improv and characters at the Upright Citizens Brigade and later served as writer/performer on the Magnet Theater house sketch comedy team Souvenir. As of August 2022, she is a graduate of the Atlantic Acting School Evening Conservatory program through NYU. She performs characters, improv and sketch regularly throughout the city, and has written and performed at PIT Sketchfest, the 24-hour sketch show PIT Cram’n It and more. Her solo show, One Single Thread, performed at Edinburgh Fringe in 2022 for a full run!
Before emerging from quarantine a perfectly healthy, un-traumatized goddess, she was the creator of a mid-quarantine casting series based on insane things she saw in commercials and movies, called Inside Casting. She also was a co-creator of the web-series, MEANS, which is partly based on her real life working as a veterinary assistant. Most recently, one of her pilot scripts made it to the Semifinals round of the Screencraft Pilot Launch TV Script Competition. She also sometimes uses her degree in Music to play bass, sing and compose.
