Artist Statement

Laura Chavarry has enjoyed art since a very young age. In her younger years, she explored painting and drawing, but had a sudden shift in interest when she discovered the theater. Upon attending a Broadway Musical while in middle school, she realized that she wanted to be on stage and express herself. Her first experience performing happened in high school, when she became part of the ensemble of her school’s production of RENT. This experience, along with her performance in Shakespeare’s As You Like It, solidified her decision in becoming an actress. Over time, she has had experience on stage and on camera. In addition, she has an interest in fashion design/costuming, and dreams of having her own fashion line someday.

Her acting/theatre influences include Patti LuPone, Sierra Boggess, Idina Menzel, Lin-Manuel Miranda, Elizabeth Taylor, Phillipa Soo, Carrie Fisher,  Barbra Streisand, Mandy Gonzales, Sofia Vergara, Audra McDonald, Eva Noblezada, Viola Davis, Christy Altomare, Meryl Streep, and Julie Andrews. Her idols remind her that through hard work and dedication, your dreams can come true.

Theatre allows everyone to be who they want to be, and it offers a home to those who might not have been able to “fit in” with the crowd. You are allowed to let your imagination run wild and create anything you want. You’re allowed to act and become a totally different person for about 3 hours while an audience watches. You can make your own story, or collaborate with someone else. Teamwork is something that’s also important in theatre, as both the artistic and technical aspects must merge together in perfect harmony in order to succeed. There are so many stories that are waiting to be told, and she’s so glad to be able to be one of these storytellers.

Laura’s ultimate goal in life is to succeed in her acting career, as well as perform on Broadway, the Metropolitan Opera, and around the world. She would also like to create original content that entertains, but also shines a light on the Latino community.
