Lauren had the rare + delightful opportunity to direct for A LIGHT IN DARK PLACES, an LA-based nonprofit whose goal is to raise awareness for suicide prevention. PACKING by Jessica Moss features the incomparable Jule Nelson-Duac + Savannah Lloyd as the mother + wife of a man who died by suicide. It’s an important, nuanced, valuable piece of theatre, + Lauren is so proud of the work these women have done. The festival closes this weekend at the Bath House Cultural Center.
