Lauren offers tips and advice of running her own school and agency and talks about the variety of her work, from performing, to choreography and now being an associate on multiple West End shows. She shares her career stories spanning all the way back to her first role in the West End at 7 years old!

Lauren shares funny and heart warming stories from growing up working in the West End, getting her dream role, then starting her performing arts school and talent agency. While discussing the highs of her career, Lauren talks about the intense work required to balance a thriving career, business ventures, and family life. She credits her incredibly supportive husband as a key reason she's able to manage it all without missing important commitments. It's an honest look at the ups and downs of forging a theatre career from a young age.
