​

Welcome! I'm Laura Bernas. Originally from Buffalo, NY, I now work in NYC and Syracuse, NY.

​

I'm a creative goofball with a penchant for magically realistic plays, devised theater, and fearless acting. I love new plays, reimagined classics, and dynamic screen dramedies. I'm a huge nerd with an eye for sophisticated elegance. Think Beanie Feldstein meets Kate Winslet...I am that love child. 

I hold a MFA in Acting from the Bristol Old Vic Theatre School in England and have trained at the Moscow Art Theatre School and Sarah Lawrence College.

​

Working across multiple mediums while collaborating with international companies forms the cornerstone of my career.
