Lauretta A.

I arrived in Georgia in May 2006. I joined Tagged shortly after. Immediately after that I landed in a role that took me to the wonderful Balzar Theater on Luckie St in the heart of Atlanta. I played the role of a drag queen Mother Bouvier of the House of Bouvier. I had acted for years in New York and New Jersey. Yet, that role really tested and stretched my acting abilities. Most of all I was paid enough to buy the car I drive today, in cash, right of the lot. It really humbled me. While I was in performance I received a call from another casting director right here on this website. He had auditioned me and chose another actor for his play. He called and told me that the play did not do well and asked if I would consider playing the role I previously auditioned for. I told him I was at the Balzar. He told me he would wait. He then came to see me there and brought me a dozen red roses. I went on to perform in his play and it was very successful. Well, since that time I produced my own play in October 2010. My husband was dying of cancer, yet, he was determined that I go ahead and get my play up and running. He sat in the audience for all performances, sick from chemotherapy, but proud of a woman he supported for 23 years! He passed away in May of 2011. I couldn't think let alone perform. Yet, God heals if you want to heal. So, here I am today back on this website. I saw a director's message on here. I auditioned and landed the role of "G-Ma" in a Christmas play opening here in Atlanta. By the way, I used this website to cast for my play and hired a talented newcomer who joined me onstage to make my play a smashing success. I also produced my movie "Bullying: A Shameful Dilemma" and a number of the people interviewed for the movie were cast through this website. So... I have had nothing but good blessings from being here on this website. I am honored and humbled by what has happened to me since I joined here. I thank Casting360 for all that has happened in the years I have been with them. Keep your back to the wind and your head to the sky. Stay on here and never give up! Peace and blessings to all forever.
