Ms. Carrie is from a British theatrical family, her mother was in the circus, her aunty was a famous ballerina, and her uncle was a famous actor. Making up plays and dances, along with her sisters and cousins was something she had done her entire life. After finishing her Masters degree and travelling the world, she met her husband ( Mr. Jeremy) in an Irish bar in Japan. Both were teaching English and saving funds for more travel adventures. They got married and went on a honeymoon trip embarking on a giant bicycle ride across China. Later, in 2009, they moved to Boulder, Colorado where Carrie got trained as a Montessori teacher and a traditional teacher. By the end of the first day that Carrie had been in her classroom of 31 students, she knew she had found her passion in life. Within a few weeks, she decided to put on her first play, she had students auditioning for parts, learning lines, singing songs, playing instruments and painting sets.  At the end of that first year, all the parents squeezed into the classroom and the students sparkled in a magical Alice In Wonderland Production. The following year she organized a full blown dinner theater and the students performed The Wizard of Oz for about 150 people.

Fast forward to 2017, Carrie decided to run her own summer theatre camp called the Montessori Arts Factory. She did this for a couple of summers and it was the inspiration for what was to come after she moved to Costa Rica. In 2020 Nosara Playhouse was born and the real magic started to unfold…..
