Laurence has created and produced multiple musical shows, blending her love for theater and music, including Est-ce ainsi que les hommes vivent?, Sur un air de cinéma, Le cabaret du Chat noir, and Welcome to les années folles. She also works in voice-over for films, series, and animated shows. In film, she appears in several short films, feature films, and commercials.

Both forms add to her versatility as a performer.
