About

Fake blood connoisseur and Halloween enthusiast, Laurel Mora (He/Him) is a NYC based artist raised in Dallas, Texas. He takes artistic inspiration from his Mexican heritage, the sheer volume of fantasy novels he consumed as a child, family dinnertime conversations with his critical care intensivist father. As such, his work explores themes of death, grief, and identity in often fantastical worlds. He strives to continue the work he started at Booker T. Washington High School for the Performing and Visual Arts and feature Latino theater makers in all of his productions as a means to combat the historic exclusion of Latinos both on and off stage. Outside of playwriting, he dabbles in props design, stage makeup, costume construction, and acting. Outside of theater, he can be found rehabilitating his childhood love of reading and counting down the days to Halloween.
