Laura Niehaus (Monica) is elated to be returning to theater after the two-year- long COVID intermission. She was last seen onstage as the cook in Clue and Georgia in Best Laid Plans in last season’s 8x10: The Eileen Moushey TheatreFest, and Mary in Weathervane’s production of Alias Grace. You may have also seen her in Weathervane's The Who’s Tommy, the 2019 8x10 TheatreFest, The Hunchback of Notre Dame, Bye Bye Birdie, It Shoulda Been You, and many more. Laura also enjoys spending her time with the design teams — making props, painting murals, and doing whatever odd tasks they find for her. Outside of theater, she works as a housing advocate for Equitas Health.
