Resident actress, Everyman Theatre

Lauren LaRocca
Cameo: Deborah Hazlett

Is it surprising to be in your 20th season with Everyman Theatre?

I sometimes feel like Vinny [Lancisi, founding artistic director of Everyman] and I grew up together. I’ve lived in all these cities but my artistic home for all these years has been, well, Vinny, really, and wherever he is. He’s committed to artists and the people he works with. Maybe in another theater, you’re afraid to try something. Here, you just go for it. He has a strong voice and a strong vision, but he also really lets the actor try and make mistakes. When it comes from the top down, it [becomes] the aesthetic of the workplace.
