Lauren was in theater in high school and introduced me to High School Musi-pocalypse, a beautiful concept in this world filled with vapid musicals about perfect looking kids who idealize high school in a way never actually seen at a high school. I love theater people because they are typically so animated and love being in front of the camera. It makes my job of trying to pull something out of a shy personality a lot easier with people who are cool with people staring at them already. Lauren was a pretty mellow theater performer and wasn’t over the top, but was just right.
