Laurel Harris

This was a dream role for me to say the least and I could not have done it without the help of countless sitters, family members, cast mates, neighbors and friends at home and in MA who got Elliot to/from school and took care of him when he got home and Myles while I was in rehearsals and shows.

Mom, you were an immense help the final 2 weeks and @robmarnell , you held down the fort at home so I could be on stage and remember who I am outside of the role of “mom.” A HUGE HUGE THANK YOU to you all for making this a reality for my soul, my creativity and my spirit. My heart is full and I’m so glad my babies could “watch what mama does” as Rob kept saying. The sleepless nights, washing bottle parts at 2:00 AM on a hot pot, pumping and nursing on demand, all worth it! Seemingly impossible things can indeed happen if you are lucky enough to have the love and support that I received from a multitude of people. 🙏

Special shout out to @susanoliveras for holding the baby so I could shower after the show one night! Another shout out to the entire company for listening to me talk about clogged milk ducts (or duds as @eife22 calls them) for an entire week 🤪
