Lauren is a Brooklyn-based playwright from Dedham, Massachusetts.
She is the recipient of the 2024 Princess Grace Award in Playwriting/New Dramatists Residency.
She recently adapted Olga Ravn’s novel The Employees with director Jacklyn Biskup for a production at Theaterlab.
Her work has been developed at LaGuardia Performing Arts Center and The Brick’s Quick + Dirty. She was awarded a 2024 Woodward Residency. Lauren’s been a finalist for the Bushwick Starr Reading Series and the Risk Theatre Prize, as well as a semi-finalist for the Playwrights Realm Writing Fellowship, The Terrence McNally Fellowship, The Next Forever Residency, The Civilians R&D Lab, and WP Lab.
Before becoming a playwright, Lauren worked on political campaigns, in the private sector, and for the United Nations in Italy and New York. She draws on these experiences to write dark, comic plays about work, class, families of happenstance, and seekers of hidden knowledge. They’re grounded in realism, but full of ghosts, invisible dogs, aliens, and other spirits.
