Laurel Mora
PLAYWRIGHT
Raised in Dallas, Texas, Laurel Mora (He/Him, She/Her) takes artistic inspiration from his Mexican heritage, the sheer volume of fantasy novels she consumed as a child, family dinnertime conversations with her critical care intensivist father. As such, his work explores themes of death, grief, and identity in often fantastical worlds. He strives to continue the work he started at Booker T. Washington High School for the Performing and Visual Arts and feature Latino theater makers in all of his productions as a means to combat the historic exclusion of Latinos both on and off stage. Outside of playwriting, he dabbles in props design, stage makeup, costume construction, and acting. Outside of theater, she can be found planning her next Halloween costume, rehabilitating her childhood love of reading, and yearning to be reunited with her chihuahua, Cody.
