Carrie joined Bloomsburg University in 2018 and teaches courses in theatre history, script analysis, and theatre appreciation. Recently a Visiting Instructor of Theatre at Lycoming College, Carrie taught courses in dramatic literature and theatre history, and directed. Located in Columbia, Missouri from 2011-2017 Carrie worked as a freelance director, dramaturg and stage manager while pursuing her doctoral degree. Her work in Columbia included collaborations with GreenHouse Theatre Project, Independent Actors Theatre, MU Summer Repertory Theatre and Talking Horse Theatre.

Carrie’s research explores women’s voices in practice and theory, as well as new play development, theatre pedagogy, dramaturgical collaboration, and devised theatre. She regularly presents at the Association for Theatre in Higher Education, the Mid-America Theatre Conference, and the Women and Theatre Program annual meeting. Carrie is particularly invested in serving platforms that cultivate new works: she coordinated the prestigious Jane Chambers Student Playwriting Award from 2013-2016 and has served numerous other initiatives including the Playwriting Symposium of the Mid-America Theatre Conference, the Missouri Playwright’s Workshop, and the Mizzou New Play Series.
