Behind the scenes of Tai Bacani’s empowering drama Southpaw, coming to festivals soon.

RECENT WORK

Carol spent the winter preparing performance and curriculum with the inaugural tour company of Gamm on the Go, which brings condensed Shakespeare performances and educational residencies to schools and community groups in Massachusetts and Rhode Island.  She played three roles in the 45-minute Comedy Of Errors: Emilia, Luciana, and Angelo The Goldsmith.

​

In February Carol played a boxing announcer in Tai Bacani’s empowering drama Southpaw, and played a knowledgeable customer in TelyRX’s social media campaign shot with NorthFifth Media in two great Brooklyn locations.  In March, she helped train health professionals as a questioning patient in a Retina Health Training video for Kurtas Creatives.  Off camera, she voiced characters for Brian Bolt’s Trussed and Max Vanderspuy's Fishbrain.

​

This summer Carol played a fussy client for a very stressed stylist, with comic result, in Cutting It Short - A Rum Com, a series proof-of-concept short by Edna Beisold, and played an empathetic middle school teacher for Blessings From Being Bullied - based on the book by kickboxing champion Christina Rondeau.

​​

This fall she spent five blissful small-town days on The Phone Booth - in which she played quirky, dog-walking widow Delores Eldridge in the mythical town of Kanewoolf, NH (shot in Millis, MA as the fall colors bloomed).

COMING SOON

Carol is excited to play Madame Armfeldt in A Little Night Music this winter - her first full musical in 25 years. January may seem far away, but rehearsals are already underway and tickets are on sale. It's an intimate house so order soon here! And keep an eye on the Mass Arts Center Facebook page and the show page link above for the full cast announcement.
