Lawler's first acting role was in a stage production of Jack and Annie at Hoboken Children's Theater when she was in the first grade.[2] She made her broadway debut in The Ferryman (2018).
When Lawler was nine years old, she starred in the play The Net Will Appear, in which she played a nine-year-old who becomes friends with a 70-year-old. The actor who played the latter character, Richard Masur, became Lawler's mentor and best friend. She tapped into their relationship for the emotions needed to portray her character in Station Eleven.[1]
For her work in Station Eleven, The New Yorker called Lawler "a gifted performer."[3]
