"Great performances are given all around, but it’s Lyons that truly steals the show, painting a woman so profoundly ignorant and deplorable, yet so wonderfully emotional."

Caroline here! Welcome to my website. Here is a little bit about me. 

​

Born and raised in Sandwich, MA, I was bit by the proverbial acting bug when I was cast as a clown waitress in second grade. I had one line. I got a laugh. I was hooked. I would go on to pursue acting at Pace University where I would go back to my all girl school roots and perform in many all-female productions in the classics and newly devised pieces. For the next ten years I would go on to audition and work in film, television and theater in NYC originating roles and coming back to my love of Shakespeare. 

 

​Something cosmic happened to me, however, after working at a camp for families of high conflict divorce in 2019. A psychologist came up to me at the end of the week, gave me a hug and, said "it was a pleasure watching you work with those kids." After our embrace, I looked at her and said, "I think I have to quit my job." I knew then that I wanted to foster the caregiver and educator in me. That is when I started training to become a postpartum doula and lactation consultant which you can read more about that journey on my Doula Work page. A global pandemic hit and I decided to pursue a master's degree. I found myself in Shakespeare heaven at Mary Baldwin University's Shakespeare and Performance program where I got to perform, direct, dramaturg, and grow into the educator I am today.
