Laura loves developing new work, and has originated many roles off-Broadway and regionally, including her breakout role as Charlotte in Mark Schultz's EVERYTHING WILL BE DIFFERENT at Soho Rep (dir Daniel Aukin), Edna in Liz Meriwether's THE MISTAKES MADELINE MADE at Naked Angels, Lily in David Adjmi's STUNNING at Woolly Mammoth, Eurydice in the world premiere of Sarah Ruhl's EURYDICE at Madison Rep, Eliza in Anna Ziegler's BFF at WET, Antigone in Meg Gibson and Keith Reddin's TOO MUCH MEMORY (Rising Phoenix Rep), and Helena in Bash Doran's KIN at Playwrights Horizons (dir Sam Gold), for which she was nominated for both a Lortel and Drama League Award. Other notable theatre credits include THE PATRON SAINT OF SEA MONSTERS, PEOPLE BE HEARD, and DORIS TO DARLENE all at Playwrights Horizons, BUILD and MISS JULIE (adapted by Neil LaBute) at The Geffen, THE GIVEN at Studio Dante, TOP GIRLS and BUS STOP at Williamstown, The Old Globe, South Coast Rep, McCarter, The Alley, Berkshire Theatre Festival, Clubbed Thumb, Actors Theatre of Louisville's Humana Festival, The Shakespeare Theatre DC, The O'Neill Playwrights Conference, NY Stage & Film, amongst others. She was cited by Time Out NY as one of the "hardworking supertroupers [that] keep NYC theater's heart beating," and by The Village Voice as "one of Off-Broadway's singular sensations." She made her Broadway debut in CORAM BOY, directed by Melly Still, and most recently appeared onstage in the world premiere of Karen Hartman's GOOD FAITH at Yale Rep, directed by Kenny Leon.
On television, she most recently guest starred in the season one finale of "Evil" as a woman having a very, very bad pregnancy, and on "Chicago Med," as a mom forced to choose between the life of her son or her nephew. Other guest appearances include "The Americans," "Elementary," "Madam Secretary," "Grey's Anatomy," "Bones," "The Defenders," "The Middle (recurring)," "Numb3rs," "Ugly Betty," and the indie films "The Harbinger," "We Go On," "As Good as You," "Yellowbrickroad," "Coach," "Forged," and "Cold Souls."
Laura also loves kickboxing, documentaries, all podcasts, and coffee. She lives in New York with her husband, filmmaker/composer Andy Mitton, their two awesome kids, Mal and Asa, and really just an impossibly high-strung cat named Smush.
