After working as a comedian in Chicago for seven years, I moved to Los Angeles and have focused my attention on screenwriting, as I have a great ear for dialogue and voice for characters, and I simply love the work. I have award-winning screenplays, pilots, specs, and many shorts and sketches. For more information on me as a comedian, writer, human, please feel free to visit my website:
Unique traits: www.LisaLaureta.com I perform stand up, sketch and improv all over the city. I create my own stop motion animations using my voices and character bits from live performances. I have tons of award winning pilots, screenplays, sketch packets, spec scripts, and my own original satirical children's book.

Actress At the dawn of every light year, the exclusive beach planet Leanaris hosts a prestigious fitness exam. Creatures travel from across the galaxy for a chance to live and flex on this planet's sandy shores. Carl, an astronomer, E-Grit, a robot, Fabz, a lizard, and Dward, a Dward, are just four of the interstellar tourists who hope to pass the test. But none of them are up to the challenge. Weak, awkward, inflexible, and covered in hair, the four misfits are found wanting. In the wake of their rejection, they team up with Dr. Doug, a canine space guru, and Omni, a supercomputer, to travel the galaxy and learn the secrets of health and wellness. Viewers at home can work out along with the gang as they find their rhythm, break through lazy plateaus, and learn to work as a team. Will they make it into Leanaris next year? Only time will tell.
