Lauren Eileen Henke is an actor, creator, and licensed embalmer. This probably wasn’t the triple threat you were expecting, but here we are.
Embalming Play is Lauren’s playwriting debut, an autobiographical fever dream of vignettes and theatrical musings drawn from her real life experience working as an actor and embalmer in LA. It explores topics such as morbid fascination, aging & vanity, ambition & burnout, intimacy with both the living and the dead, and the surprising overlap between Hollywood, embalming, serial killers, and American culture.
The play first premiered at the Elysian Theater’s 2025 Spaghetti Festival was written and developed in just two months. Now BACK FROM THE DEAD, it has been revived for audiences in the Skunk Room for a limited engagement and further development.
With Bailey Sawyer, Sam Vita, & Alice Kors
