about.
Hi, my name is Laura Ledbetter and I am a contract props artist interested in props, set decoration, touring, event production, and window displays. I grew up in Bucks County, Pennsylvania and upon graduating high school went on to study graphic design at Tyler School of Art at Temple University, Philadelphia. After Covid I transferred to Pennsylvania State University where I graduated with a degree in Technical Theatre with an emphasis in Scenic Design. My second year at Penn State I received a show assignment to work in the prop shop on “Tartuffe.” It was then that I discovered my love for props and story-telling. I have experience in carpentry, upholstery, hand-lettering, mold-making, painting, sewing, color mixing, model making, Canva, and more. I served as the props apprentice at Theatre Aspen for their 2025 summer season and have since been working as an over-hire props artist at New York University and the Lincoln Center Theatre. I look forward to what the future holds in this creative industry and am excited by each opportunity that comes my way. Don’t hesitate to reach out using the contact form below if you would like to connect or have any cool propportunities. Thanks!
