"Simply put, Lacy is one of the greatest actors, directors and teachers that I've ever had the pleasure to work with, and she may very well be the greatest artist I've ever worked with who combines all of those talents."

Teaching
“Teaching well any art form requires a unique type of person—one who can wear many hats and be able to switch them out at any given time. Lacy's innate talent as a performing artist informs her ability to reach students and find what they need to be successful.”-Ruthann Curry Browne, Arkansas Art-in-Education Teaching Artist
“In 2020, Lacy and I were given the task to re-write the theatre curriculum. I found her to be amazingly inclusive and a joy to work with. With her kindness and willingness to share it didn't seem like work at all. Once it was completed it was Lacy's job to share the new curriculum with the faculty. Lacy listened, explained, made compromises and our new curriculum met the freshman class of 2021. Lacy is a rare gem."-Dr. Ronda Scarrow, Theatre Education Program Coordinator, Longwood University
“The devotion and time she dedicated to her students was inspiring. I always appreciated her balance of approachability, fun, and rigor. Her students seemed to be in agreement and spoke very highly of her and her immersive teaching.”-Meghan Potter, Technical Director at Texas Shakespeare Festival
"It is a wonderful experience to be in a 'Lacy Class.' Her awareness and ability to read the room is great. She's always able to give each student what they individually need to learn and grow as an artist. Something that sets her aside from any other creator I've worked with is her honesty. It holds us accountable, encourages us to work even harder, and to never give up."
-Garrett D. Reese, Longwood Alum and Actor
“Lacy was not only professional and approachable, but she made the class accessible and challenging to the diverse student population. By watching her choices and teaching approach, it was obvious that she not only is a high-quality teacher but an accomplished performer in theatre and dance. When my students were leaving her class, they excitedly asked if they could take her class in college or if she could come to visit our school.”-Amy Bramlett, Director of 7-12th Grade Dance at Hot Springs, AR School District
Resumes
“Something I found unique and thrilling about Lacy was the extent to which she included the cast in exploratory conversations about the text. Lacy was always eager to know what we the actors personally interpreted, and she had an extraordinary ability to blend her own vision with the individual visions and experiences of each actor.”
-Katie Fay Francis, Actor
“Lacy's guidance as theatrical intimacy choreographer allowed my scene partner and I to truly open up to one another, establish boundaries and comfort, and freed our characters to thrive in moments of natural and genuine intimacy. I'm so grateful to have her expertise and warmth in our theatrical community."
-Jason Scott Morgan, Actor
SELECTED PRODUCTION PHOTOS
“She's the first to rehearsal, first to be memorized, first to make bold acting choices, and she does all of this while maintaining an incredibly positive attitude that spreads to the rest of the company that has had the pleasure of working with her."
