Carol Ann Erford (Director) is happy to be back at The
Village Players. This time, though, she has come back as director. She
loves performing most of all, but after 45-years she is imparting some
of her skills to other actors. When last here, she appeared in
Don’t Hug Me . Recently, she
directed Leading Ladies at The Rep — such a success it was
brought back in the summer as a fundraiser. She looks forward to trodding the boards, again. She can’t stay away too long — it’s in the blood. She hopes you enjoy the show as much as she enjoyed directing it. |
