Rosalind Hay in
Moon Over Buffalo
Florence Little Theatre, 2011
Director: Jumana Swindler
Scenic Designer: Lisa Sims
Lighting Designer: David Fleming
Costume Designer: Angela Ketcham
"...Lauren Shell's Rosalind promises something fresh when she occasionally stills the romping to deliver a wry observation. And that promise is realized in the Deauville scene from Noel Coward's 'Private Lives' when, as Sybil, her lines are beautifully clear and cool and funny."

Rosalind in As You Like It
MFA Production at Mary Baldwin College in Partnership with the American Shakespeare Center, April 2009
Director: Ralph Alan Cohen, co-founder and Director of Mission for the American Shakespeare Center
Costume Designer: Anna Gonzalez
"Lauren Melody Shell stands out as the strong-willed Rosalind. She easily exchanges her 1950s-style skirt and feminine personality for the austere garb and boyish mannerisms of her alter ego, Ganymede, but never once loses her charm or appeal. It is upon her that the play relies for momentum with Orlando, and Shell delivers in spades with an energetic, yet thoughtful performance."

Hansel, Momma, and the Bat in Lost in the Woods
Golden Duck Productions Touring Company, Summer 2008
"...Lauren Shell, a first-time performer with Golden Duck, won my best actress award. Out of all the performers, all of whom played multiple roles, I found her characters to be the most distinct and detailed in performance without being too
stereotyped."
"'She seems to have the right attitude for every aspect of the
role she is playing.'"
