As a creative, Laura believes good theatre begins and ends with solid story. Good production elevates and enhances story. Telling stories is a solely human endeavor. Good story plumbs the depths of self, society and culture. It taps the collective unconscious on the shoulder and asks “But have you looked at it like this?”.
