About Laura Pruden
Known for her quick wit and honest, grounded portrayals of complex characters across genres, "Laura is the kind of actor who can pull off the most emotionally charged and controversial parts without ever losing their humanity or authenticity." (director Christina Kallas). After earning her degree in theatre from Northwestern University, Laura performed on Chicago stages, including Touchstone/Organic, Chicago Dramatists, and Lifeline, and taught improv and sketch comedy for The Second City. She continued her studies at California Institute of the Arts (MFA, acting) and worked on stage and screen in LA, notably as an original cast member of the long-running hit The Book of Liz (Amy & David Sedaris), opposite Ann Magnuson and Tom Lenk (with Kirsten Vangsness, Susan Ruttan and more). Since moving to NY, Laura has collaborated with filmmaker Christina Kallas on three award winning features: 42 Seconds of Happiness, The Rainbow Experiment, and Paris is in Harlem, the last two premiering at Slamdance, and has appeared on Law & Order, SVU, Last Week Tonight with John Oliver, recurred on The Daily Show, and made her fiction podcast debut on What Happened in Skinner (recurring). Also a storyteller, Laura has performed her original monologues at Symphony Space, The Neighborhood Playhouse, The Comedy Union, on WGN radio, and The Brick Underground podcast (#4), and has received many grants for her original work. Listen to Your Mother called Laura "As wryly funny in person as she is on stage and page" -- Laura thinks fast, feels deeply and works well with others....
