 Carol Lempert grew up in Oak Park, Michigan. She attended Oak Park High School which is located on Oak Park Boulevard right across the street from the Oak Park Police Station, the Oak Park Pool and the Oak Park Park, (You get the picture…)
Carol's very first appearance on stage was in 3rd grade where she played the Gingerbread-girl in Mrs. Lanier's production of Hansel and Gretel. The costume was hot and itchy, but the applause made it all worth while.
During High School Carol loved music and was selected to be in the Michigan State Choir for 4 years in a row. |
After several years of working professionally in Michigan, Carol decided to go back to school to get her Master's Degree. She was accepted at York University in Toronto,  Canada where she received not only her MFA but also met the man who is now her husband; Scotty Watson.
Carol stayed and worked in Canadian theater, television and film for 20 years until her recent move to New York. Throwing aside her Canadian parka, her days in the hot itchy costume are finally over – or are they?
