From January through August of 2012, Lauren joined the team as a PR and Producing Consultant for Brain Melt Consortium’s daring burlesque show Daughters of Lot presented at the the FRIGID New York Festival in February 2012. Lauren advised the production’s team on PR and marketing tactics, invited industry professionals to attend, used personal connections to gain reviews, and attended various planning meetings and read-throughs as the project took shape.
The result? The play was extended by the Festival for a FRIGID Hangovers performance by the Artistic Director of HorseTrade Theater Company and was given positive reviews by every publication that saw the piece. The success and reaction to the production was so strong, that the writer and director decided to take the show on the road to the Edinburgh Festival Fringe in August 2012 and Lauren joined the team as a full-fledged producer of the piece and public relations contact for the festival. In Edinburgh, the show played to sold-out houses and received many multiple-star reviews, including a 4-star review in The Scotsman (considered equivalent to The NY Times in Scotland). Well done, BrainMelt!
