Performing arts work (theatre, film, TV, commercials & voiceovers)

Caroline’s stage work as an actor and singer ranges from (western) classical texts, musical theatre and opera; to contemporary drama and comedy; experimental theatre; original one-woman shows; and Caribbean musicals. She has also worked in film, television, online video, and voiced and appeared in a number of radio and television commercials. Beyond performance, she has worked as a director, writer, and script editor/developer, in addition to working in arts administrative roles. Very often, she wears several of those hats at once — working both on stage/screen and behind the scenes in production helping the projects come to fruition and find audiences.
