Louise is a classically trained actress, who has worked in Regional Equity Theaters as well as many New York productions; she has performed classical roles such as Shakespeare’s Gertrude (and Polonius), Wedekind’s Mrs. Gabor, Alcott’s Marmee, and Wilder’s Mrs. Webb, as well as many roles in contemporary dramas, comedies, and Indie films. Most recently, she played the lead role of Beatrice in Wendy Biller’s operatic, genre-bending play by the same name at the Cell Theatre in New York (Fall 2023), Soothsayer in WAM theatre’s devised piece “Fragments of Outside” at the Mount in Lenox MA (Summer 2024), and Anfisa in Chekhov’s Three Sisters directed by Talia Feldberg at Columbia University (November 2024). She also was cast in the lead role of Geraldine in Keshav Srinivasan’s feature horror film “The Flesh People,” which was filmed in spring of 2024 and is now in post-production.

Louise approaches all roles and texts with unlimited passion, curiosity, research, subtlety, emotional vulnerability, openness, professionalism, and hard work. She desires to give all characters a believable, compelling humanity. Naturalistic acting was at the center of her training with Seth Barrish and Lee Brock at The Barrow Group, where she completed the 1.5-year professional conservatory program. During the One-Month Intensive Program at Shakespeare and Company in Lenox, Massachusetts, she worked on all aspects of Shakespearean acting and also, more broadly, on breathing and forging deep emotional connections to roles and texts. As a long-standing member of the Letter of Marque theater company in Manhattan, she is well versed in improvisation, ensemble work, and devised theater.

During Covid, while doing whatever zoom theater was available, Louise also focused on three writing projects. The historical tv drama, The Staats was a finalist, Circa Historical Screenwriting Competition 2022 and a quarterfinalist Blue Cat Screenwriting Contest 2023. Co-written with Kirk German and based on extensive research, it tells the story of German immigrant Anna Ottendorfer in the 1840s and 50s, who became the editor of one of the biggest newspapers in New York, the New Yorker Staatszeitung. Together with her co-author Maria Müller, Louise is currently completing a play about two immigrant women during Covid entitled “Helga and Valentina.” She has also developed a tv comedy pitch with Emma Jones and Carrie Keating, titled after and based on Emma’s play Peaches or Mangoes, in which Louise played the role of Rosalind.

Born in Germany, Louise acts both in English and German. While she has played mostly English roles, she has also performed in multi-lingual productions, such as a five-language ensemble devised production based on O’Neill’s Marco Millions for Brooklyn’s Target Margin Theater as well as in German roles. From late 2025 to early 2027, she is cast to play lead roles in four feature-length films with Lee Beebe’s Nocturnal Flower productions, one a re-shoot of a film in German, Russian, and Ukrainian (the film Dalila was initially shot in 2023) and three new films in English. She is currently learning ASL to play a supporting role in Beebe’s “Silent Petals,” slated to shoot in June of 2025.
