Her passion for the work ignites your performance, and suddenly, you find yourself living inside the monologue rather than inside your head."
- Alden LaPaglia, Singer, Dancer, Actor

"I experienced Laurie as a great director. She's extraordinarily astute and thoughtful in terms of play analysis and always offers wonderful insights into the characters' motivations in the play. She works tirelessly to bring out the best in the play and the actors. Smart and funny, her goal is to deliver the truth while never forgetting that it's all about entertainment."
- Deb Armelino, Actor

"Laurie is most inventive and original, has great humor and humanity...Each and every actor...adore her..."
