Join Us in Welcoming BBT’s New Administrative Director Lauren Bell!
Boca Ballet Theatre is excited to welcome a new member to our staff this fall! Lauren Bell brings her extensive background in music, theater, film, and dance to BBT as our new Administrative Director and Box Office Manager!
Lauren’s career in the entertainment industry began with semi-professional dance in a neo-classical ballet company. This experience led her to pursue theater in New York City, where she lived for 10 years. She had the honor of working professionally in reputable regional theaters across the country. Lauren has also appeared in several movies and television series, including Iron Man 3 and The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel on Amazon Prime. In addition to her performing career, she served as an associate producer on the West End/Off Broadway show It Happened in Key West. She also managed and was lead producer at the PIT Loft Theatre located in New York City. Lauren’s greatest accomplishment in the entertainment industry was receiving her Masters of Science in Entertainment Business from Full Sail University, where she graduated with honors as Valedictorian of her class.
In 2016, Lauren’s sister Lindsey Bell led her to BBT, where Lindsey was attending our summer intensive program at the time. After watching Giselle, Lauren learned about BBT’s Open Adult Division and took classes with us while working on a local contract. We are so glad that Lauren has returned to Boca to join the BBT staff!
This fall, Lauren is most looking forward to The Nutcracker. “There was a long period in my life where I performed in The Nutcracker year after year,” Lauren says, “and then in a blink of an eye I switched careers and The Nutcracker was replaced with shows such as White Christmas and Holiday Inn. I am looking forward to hearing the music of Tchaikovsky played once again in my place of work, filling me with nostalgia and warmth that fuels my excitement once more for the upcoming holiday season!”
We share in Lauren’s excitement for The Nutcracker! Be sure to say hello to Lauren next time you’re in the studio for rehearsal! We are so happy to welcome her to the BBT family!
