Lauren Garcia is a young and vibrant actress, writer and director who is a member of the Chikahan Company, the new Filipino Theater Company – Alan Quismorio (Episode 201) and Eli Sonny Orquiza (Episode 139) are also members. I had the pleasure of working with Laura on the Bindlestiff stage and at ACT. Laura talks about her upbringing, how she got involved in theatre, and where she sees herself in the future.
