Laura Scott Cary
Hi, I’m Laura Scott.
I’m a New York City-based actor-playwright-producer-poet-friend-daughter-sister-collaborator-artist-etc. Born and raised in North Carolina, I received my BFA in Acting from Southern Methodist University in Dallas, TX.
Acting has opened up my world. To explore freedom and compassion within the vastness of the human experience through theatre and film is, to me, the ultimate gift.
More than anything, I want to tell innovative and empathy-driven stories and participate in caring, creative community. And if I can make people laugh/cry/question/learn/care in the process, that’s even better.
Caring is cool! Let’s do it together.
(That’s my first name, uh-huh.)
