Carole Buglewicz is the Artistic Director and founder of And Beyond Theatre Company in Denver, CO. She holds a BA in theatre from Purdue University with a minor in psychology, and an MFA from the National Theatre Conservatory. She has performed in leading roles and/or directed plays by Shakespeare, G. B. Shaw, Williams, O’Neill, Miller, Vaclav Havel, and Chekhov, in theatres across the country.

Her love for the written and spoken word, coupled with a compassion for the wounded soul, led her to begin writing plays and performance art pieces that would bring God’s healing to the stage and beyond (hence the name of the company.) She has worked for several churches as a dramatist and performance artist, and has toured as a free-lance speaker in the US, England and Vienna. Her modern passion play, Love Lies Bleeding, is an original musical that includes poetry by the beloved late Pope John Paul II and builds a bridge of understanding between Christians and Jews. It has been produced in California, Idaho, London, and at the Lamb’s Theatre in NYC.

A member of the National Association of Drama Therapists, Carole develops workshops and performance art pieces addressing social/spiritual crises, while teaching acting classes and producing two plays a year.
