We believe that powerful and passionate art needs to be seen and nothing should get in the way of a story well told, regardless of a person’s opportunity, age, gender or otherwise.
‍
That’s why we founded Laura Belle Productions. We began in 2019, a team consisting of Michael Cook; his son, Whit Cook; and Victoria Buse, an actor, artistic director and producer.
‍
Named after Michael’s mother and Whit’s grandmother, Laura Belle embodies the spirit of the Cook’s family heritage in Memphis, Tennessee - built on community, faith in others and co-operation.

Empowerment

We give artists the space and support to flourish.

Inclusivity

We welcome others, no matter their gender, age, sexuality, social status or background.
