Carol Ann Erford (Director) had such a good time last year directing The Underpants that she is at it again. She was last seen in The Secret Garden as Mrs. Medlock at The Toledo Rep, last season. It seems she is dividing her time, now, between acting and directing. With over 40 years of acting and now directing in the area theatres she is quite busy. She last was onstage here at The Village in Don’t Hug Me and shared the stage with Sara Speelman, who appears in this play as the mysterious woman. She also directed Leading Ladies at The Rep in which Lane Hakel appeared. Joe Capuccini appeared in The Underpants. So she has rounded up a great cast for your entertainment. Carol Ann and The Village hope you have fun and enjoy The Love List. |
