Lauree Laing After receiving a Bachelor of Applied Arts in Radio and Television from Ryerson Polytechnical Institute (as it was in 1980) Lauree spent many years writing advertising and promotional copy for assorted companies. She has spent most of her adult life involved in Community Theatre and has acted, to critical acclaim, throughout eastern and central Ontario, including with The Ottawa Little Theatre, The Dundas County Players, and R.A.P.A. amongst others. She has also been a crew member for several productions and has always been the "go to" person to write original sketches (comic and dramatic), and speeches as needed. Her husband Douglas is both a graphic and fine artist. They have three children; a son in The Royal Canadian Regiment, and two daughters, one at college and the youngest a high school senior. They share their Winchester, Ontario home with two delusional cats and a moose-sized mongrel of mysterious parentage... Lauree loves gardening and reading, especially biography and historical fiction. A proud, but by no means "ordinary Canadian" (she detests hockey, beer and winter in equal measure) she cites her influences as follows: "The Bronte girls for teaching me to lead with the heart; the Python boys for demonstrating how to lead with the intellect; and Oscar Wilde who proved that the two need not be mutually exclusive."
