CTC Alum Spotlight: Laura Osnes
Before dazzling on Broadway in “Cinderella,” and even before winning the reality show “Grease: You’re the One that I Want,” Laura Osnes was a Performing Apprentice and young actor on our stage!
Laura Osnes, one of the sweetest stars of Broadway has continually swept New York audiences off their feet. One of Broadway’s go-to-ingénues, she has starred in Grease, South Pacific, Anything Goes, Bonnie and Clyde (Tony nomination for Best Actress), Rodgers + Hammerstein’s Cinderella (Drama Desk Award winner and Tony nomination for Best Actress) and currently starring in Bandstand. During her time at CTC, she was a Performing Apprentice for the 2005/2006 season. Each year, we search for and hire two young emerging artists for our Performing Apprenticeship program. Throughout the season, they are cast in our shows, participate in workshops and readings, mentor our young student actors, work with the artistic department to improve their development as a professional actor through headshot/resume and monologue workshops and present a showcase performance at the end of their year.
Let’s have a look at some of the shows Laura has dazzled in here at CTC!
The Wizard of Oz (2003/2004)
Aladdin (2005/2006)
Prom (2005/2006)
Pippi Longstocking (2005/2006)
