A Community Christmas Carol is Lori's third production with Mt. Hood Repertory Theatre. She is thrilled to be a part of this talented cast. Since moving to Portland, Lori has been fairly busy, her first appearance in this area being in Mt. Hood Rep's production of Inherit the Wind. This was followed by Bridal Terrorism with the Gresham Little Theatre. She also has performed in staged readings of Marvin's Room (Mt. Hood Rep.); Good Night and Forever Yours and Steeplerock (Play Workshop Theatre).

Lately, she has been focusing her energies on independent films, having recently finished filming on Decisions a Full Realm Entertainment production. She is currently continuing filming on Brandon Carmody's Emptyland and is anxiously awaiting the release of her first film The Twilight Conspiracy produced by Silver Current Productions. Lori wants to thank Trish Egan and Harold Phillips, and the entire Mt. Hood Repertory Theatre Company whose encouragement has helped get her back on the path of acting and doing what she loves. Also many thanks to Patty Richardson for INSISTING she audition for Inherit the Wind. She is eternally grateful. Lori would like to dedicate this performance to her loving parents, Bob and Jean Lewis, who never gave up the faith and dream. <
