Lauren Domino dominates with dynamism and dignity. As a performer during the fall show and now the director, Lauren leads the group with a vast knowledge of children's theatre, improv and teaching experience. She's always looking out for the actors and always there to step in and perform when there's a need. She's hilarious, smart and an electric performer and director.
What was your favorite moment from the show so far?I think my favorite moment from the show was a music alone. When the bear came out of the cave, and the two girls fed him candy and an everlasting gobstopper, the bear's tummy was really upset. We had a guest trumpet player in the band that day, and he made a little "toot" sound just as the bear was complaining about his indigestion! It was so funny!!!! What do you enjoy most about Hogwash?I love that, as the Director, I just get to sit back, relax, and watch the show. It's such a fun show to watch, and the performers are terrific, so my job is easy! I also love that Hogwash is offering a different theatre experience to families than any other show in town. With this show, the kids get to drive the story, jump on their seats, boo at the bad guys, dance and sing in the isles . . . you wouldn't be allowed to do that at a standard theatre!
When did you start performing?Probably when I was about 4 years old! When I was a little girl, I was always rounding all the kids on the block up and making them be in plays that (of course) I wrote, directed, and starred in! But I didn't really start doing theatre until I got to high school and auditioned for a play. I fell in love with theatre at that moment, and I went onto study Drama at the UW.
Who do you admire?That's a hard one! There are so many people I admire . . . Of course,there are my parents who have always been supportive of my creative endeavors, and who have worked hard to provide wonderful opportunities to me. I also look up to Juliette Low, the founder of the Girl Scouts because she pioneered an organization that has given so many women a voice in this world, and the courage to pursue their goals.
What is one of your most memorable moments performing?In the Fall run of Hogwash, I was playing the manager of a hot dog stand at Safeco Field. When we apprehended the bad guys (who had been smashing hot dogs for no reason), I poured ketchup, mustard, and relish all over their head in front of the audience. Of course, it wasn't really ketchup, mustard, and relish, it was silly string, but it was still hilarious!
