I’m Caroline Fairweather (she/they), I’m a multidisciplinary theatre-maker from Western MA and based in Queens, NYC.

As both an actor and a director, I hope to make theatre that explores the borders and margins of humanity through super-human forms— what can robots, vampires, living dolls, and other mystical beings teach us about what it means to be our most authentic selves in America and beyond? How can magic & sci-fi spark solidarity across communities?

I regularly assist Tony Award-winner Michael Arden. Since 2024, I’ve served as the Assistant Director on The Queen of Versailles at the St. James Theater as well as the Emerson Colonial Theatre in Boston, The Lost Boys at the Palace Theater, and Maybe Happy Ending at the Belasco Theater, where I’ve now returned as an Associate Director.

I’m a member of The Forest of Arden, a group focused on creating innovative site-specific and immersive work. I’m a founding member of Ghostlit Repertory Theatre Company based in South Egremont, MA. I made my Broadway debut in the Tony-winning 2023 revival of Parade where I served as the Dance Captain, a position I returned to for the 2025 National Tour.

In my own work, I continue to reimagine classical works and devise new ones. In October 2025 I adapted and directed a new adaption of J. Sheridan Le Fanu’s Victorian vampire novella Carmilla for a backyard in East Williamsburg. The outdoor production utilized FM radio technology to allow audiences to experience a fully-scored and pre-recorded sonic world as actors lip synced to their own text. Other works in development include Jenny’s Doll Hospital, a queer new chamber musical about Victorian dolls by Kara Hadden & Sara Stebbins, and Red Giant, a new musical by Cathryn Wake in which the Roman Gods are personified as an all-girl actor-musician rock band.

I regularly lead drop-in training sessions in the Suzuki Method of Actor Training in NYC after having attended the Suzuki Company’s intensive in Togamura, Japan in 2018 and 2024.

Regionally, I’m proud to have worked at Barrington Stage Company, Williamstown Theatre Festival, Pittsfield Shakespeare in the Park, Theater Barn, Mixed Company, Berkshire Theatre Group, Shakespeare & Company, Madison Lyric Stage, and Ghostlit Repertory Theatre Company. I hold a BA in Theatre with Highest Honors from Williams College.
