She thinks of light as an enigmatic, yet subtle living force transporting an audience to “stand at the threshold” where a new understanding of our collective experience is revealed. Carolina has collaborated with many regional theaters across the United States, including Broadway. She is excited to continue a second collaboration with Miguel on this new piece. She is honored to have been featured on the 2nd Annual “Women to Watch List” from the Broadway Women’s Fund.
