“Laura is one of the most gifted singing-actors it’s ever been my privilege to work with...”
Growing up on the coast of Maine, scanning the ocean for pirates and mermaids, Laura Darrell began her acting adventure out of a deep love of fantasy, magic, and stories of love and redemption. Due to her profound joy in creating, she has worked professionally as an actor since the age of 10. A graduate of the British American Drama Academy in Oxford, where she focused extensively on Shakespeare, Laura studied at NYU's Tisch School of the Arts before transferring to USC, where she graduated Magna Cum Laude and Phi Beta Kappa with a BA in Dramatic Arts. She studied improv and sketch at Upright Citizens Brigade, acting (on camera and stage) with Heidi Miami Marshall, Austin Pendleton, Chris McGinn and Kate McGregor-Stewart, and voice with Deric Rosenblatt, Eddie Sayegh, and Victoria Clark. Her journey is one of constant growth thanks to the wonderful people with whom she’s collaborated.
“Better than a biscuit!”
“First rate performer Laura Darrell does nicely as a possible romantic interest for our sexually conflicted hero.”
Raised in a small town outside of Portland called Yarmouth, home of the Clam Festival (can I get a lime rickey?), Laura was taught from an early age the importance of giving back. Her fundraising work for the Maine Children's Cancer Program through a Maine PBS special, garnered Darrell a New England/Boston Emmy Award nomination. When not busy performing, Laura enjoys playing the C and bass flute (because you know she’s all about that bass), acoustic guitar, HIIT training (the mind can’t bug her when she’s trying to survive), boating, horseback riding, yoga and occasionally shooting semi-automatics at a range, cultivating self empowerment and peace of mind!
