Laura Riveros-Sefair
Member Outreach
I’m Laura, queer, Colombian-Lebanese actor and voice over artist working in NYC. You can use they/them or she/her pronouns when talking about me. I was born and raised in Bogotá, Colombia. My mom’s side of the family are immigrants from Lebanon (best food in the world), and my dad’s side of the family are long time Colombian (second best food in the world. It’s just the truth, I don’t make the rules). Performing and storytelling have always been part of my life, even when I didn’t realize it. I moved to NYC in 2009 after working in the Colombian Musical Theatre stage, and now you’re stuck with me. I am also a Teaching Artist, a writer, and a fiber and needlework artist. Take a look around, hopefully we’ll get to work together soon!
