Acting

Laura Ritz

A Georgia native and the oldest of 2 children, Laura's earliest days were spent in the theater. Both her father (dentist) and mother (teacher) were theater actors, so Laura was a consistent backstage visitor as a young child. She began studying theater and dance at age 3, and was performing on stage by age 4. Laura's middle and high school years were spent garnering academic and athletic awards, but she never lost sight of her first love: acting. Laura continued her performance studies at the University of Georgia, and graduated with a BA in Broadcast News from top-rated Grady College of Journalism and Mass Communication.
