What would you do with forever?
Lauren is thrilled to be making her Casa Mañana debut in the musical version of one of her favorite children’s books!
Based on the best-selling children’s classic by Natalie Babbitt, Tuck Everlasting tells the story of eleven-year-old Winnie Foster, who yearns for a life of adventure beyond her white picket fence. When she becomes unexpectedly entwined with the Tuck Family, she gets more than she could have ever imagined. After learning about the magic behind the Tucks’ unending youth, Winnie must fight to protect their secret from those who would do anything for a chance at eternal life. As her adventure unfolds, Winnie faces an extraordinary choice: return to her life or continue with the Tucks on their infinite journey.

Children Will Listen
Lauren is performing in a one-night only fundraiser for RAICES, July 30th at Stomping Ground Comedy Theater.
An evening of hope, love and music. Join some of your favorite DFW actors, accompanied by Pam Holcomb-Mclain, as they raise their voices to demand our country be a safe haven for all. This is a pay-what-you-can event, and all proceeds will go to RAICES’ efforts to help immigrant families and children in detention centers find freedom and be reunited with their loved ones. BYOB or enjoy beer from Hop and Sting Brewery.
Featuring songs from “Ragtime”, “Waitress”, “Into the Woods”, and more, plus performances from some of Stomping Ground’s favorite comics.
