Laura Robinson
Pledged: $100
Laura has lived in Eugene since 1997. She is the operations manager for a mobile and modular space company and is the mom of a really cool daughter!
HamletEug2Ed: Why did you pledge to The Edinburgh Hamlet Project?
Laura: I had the opportunity to perform at the Fringe Festival when I was in college (CSUFresno). It was a phenomenal experience. More than anything, however, I am so impressed with Rebecca's self-motivation and drive. I wish I'd had even half of it when I was her age. Heck! I wish I had half of it now!
HamletEug2Ed: What excites you about this project?
Laura: I think what excites me most is the fact that it was built from an idea sprung from the mind of a talented young woman, for, if I remember correctly, a class project. And suddenly, fast forward several months, and Rebecca and her merry band of players are only about $2000 from getting on a plane! That's magic!
HamletEug2Ed: Are you involved in the performing arts yourself?
Laura: I am! I did theatre for many years, but took a long hiatus once I moved to Eugene (about 10 years!). I dipped a toe back in, in 2007, and feel very blessed to have been warmly welcomed by the theatre community and audiences here. I am amazed at the breadth of talent here- and not just in theatre! I have met so many talented writers, singers, dancers, poets, musicians! Sometimes I think Eugene has more artists per capita than any other city in the world... Except possibly Edinburgh at Fringe time!
HamletEug2Ed: What is the next project you’re excited about?
Laura: I am currently involved in Winter's Tale at Lord Leebrick Theatre Co.
