LAUREN
DODDS

Performer. Producer. Playwright.

About

About me.

quirky. inventive. ambitious.

Hi y'all! I'm Lauren, and I am a 24-year old performer & creator based in NYC.

Though performing is my first love, I believe in carving my own path & creating the work I want to see through producing & playwriting.

A city girl at heart, I was born & raised in Houston, TX. I trained and performed with The Academy at Theatre Under the Stars from a young age, which prepared me in obtaining my BFA in Musical Theatre & Minor in Marketing at Emerson College!

SHow That changed my life:

When I played Jojo in Seussical Jr. at the age of nine! I was hooked.

FUN FACT:

I was named after Lauren Bacall & Olivia de Havilland (my parents are not actors... it was destiny).

SURVIVAL JOBS:

Babysitting, serving, personal assisting, & designing websites (including my own)!

My favorite things:

Listening to Remi Wolf on repeat, reruns of Community & RuPaul's Drag Race, fruit-related clothing & jewelry, thrifting, exploring new coffee shops, & playing Dungeons & Dragons.
