Laura Benson is a professional actress from small town Nebraska, now based in New York City. She gravitates towards playing roles that possess a through line of advocacy and empathy which can skew a bit devious. Whether it’s the defense attorney who has a flair for spinning the narrative, the compassionate doctor, the consummate wife or the Upper East Side PTA mom. However, her absolute favorite roles are Mom to 12 yr old daughter, Birdie and 13 yr old Shih Tzu, Mookie.
