I develop and produce experiences that bring people into a story, a question, or a cause—and leave them seeing it differently—across theatre, education, technology, and cultural work.

WHERE IT STARTS
Usually with a notebook.
Taking notes nobody asked me to take. The notes rarely stay notes.
About Laura Dekkers
I have a habit of following questions farther than is strictly reasonable. More often than not, I end up building the thing I went looking for.
I’ve performed on Broadway and spent years inside the development of more than fifteen new musicals—across readings, workshops, developmental productions, and world premieres. I’ve launched a women’s underwear company into stores nationwide, run a marketing company behind a two-year national campaign, produced awards shows and large-scale events, and led the rebrand of a nonprofit theatre.
I also helped found Rock Tree Sky, a self-directed school, and served on its founding board. Then I spent eight years world-schooling my three daughters across more than 25 countries.
The subject changes. The scale changes. My way of working doesn’t: I get curious, learn what the situation requires, bring together the right people, ideas, and resources, and make something real.
I’m curious, analytical, neurodivergent, and usually following some question farther than necessary. Thank you, ADHD.
Now my daughters and I are back in New York City. I never stopped performing, and I’m bringing far more than a performer’s experience into this next chapter.
This isn’t a return to an old life. It’s where everything I’ve learned about producing, experiential design, storytelling, and marketing comes together—in work I care about, in the city I love.
