Meet Caroline!

Hello! My name is Caroline and I am a New York City-based/Hoosier-born actor and director.

I have had the privilege to perform in live theatre since I was 5, where I portrayed a timorous chorus member mermaid in my elementary school’s production of The Little Mermaid. Since then, I have found opportunities in many types of theatre, including realism, absurdism, Shakespearean, French Restoration, tragedy, and devised. I believe that the best way to grow as a performer is to learn, so I am always eager to try out new genres that expand my knowledge (I have a performance bucket list that I don’t intend to stop adding to!).

I discovered film acting in college after meeting filmmakers that shared a passion for performing arts that exceeded my imagination. They opened my eyes to a new way of storytelling and collaboration that had not yet been accessible to me. I quickly developed a love for the medium and have worked on films at a collegiate and professional level, including Belmont University, Vanderbilt University, Canyon Productions, and Naptown Films. I have had the opportunity to work with comedies, dramas, and coming-of-age short films.

I began directing in college after taking an introductory course that, with the help of an influential professor, helped me realize the importance of understanding theatre from both sides of the creative process. Peeling back the layers of a story and getting the opportunity to portray your personal interpretation on stage is an incredibly privileging process that I do not take for granted. I quickly enrolled in an advanced directing class, where I directed a one act thriller/drama, a piece that still holds a place as one of my greatest personal achievements. After college, I have assistant directed both an original production that was selected for the New York Theatre Festival, and the Indiana premiere of a contemporary comedy.
