Thank you so much, Janet! Lucy had a "Ball" of a time entertaining the ladies. Even a tornado couldn't permanently shut her down!

Carol was personable and tailored to her audience!

Given that this was the first time that Carol played Maleficent, I was truly impressed. The costume was outstanding and the way she interacted with our party made it very special. I highly recommend Carol for your next event.

Excellent

We had never hired a singing telegram. These days, it seems like a lost art. Carol showed us that the art is alive and she is excellent at it. She came to my mom’s birthday party as Dolly Levi from the movie Hello Dolly and sang Hello Dolly to my mom named Dolly. When we asked her to sing the whole song, we were thinking the 2 minute version by Louis Armstrong. She came and sang the whole 5 minute song - Louie Armstrong, Barbara Streisand, and the Chorus! She blew us away! It was so hot outside, but she was as cool as a cucumber. She is so kind and a great star! Thank you Carol for making the day so special for everyone!

Please send her my love!

Carol is Amazing!

Carol walked me through every step. I am pretty sure I was a pest throughout the process. She was courteous at all times, and very attentive to my messages. I look forward to having Carol entertain us again in the future.
Carol's performance was wonderful. It was my daughter's Birthday celebration, and she was very excited to have someone sing to her!
Thanks to Carol, and to GIGsalad, for putting us in touch with each other.

What to expect

My one woman shows are intimate --even when they are performed on stage --almost as if the audience has come to visit the character's residence.

Past Performance venues have ranged from schools, libraries, historical sites to traditional theatrical stages.

My Children's story-telling programs can be quite elaborate depending on your needs.
