FOR THE PEOPLE is the fictional story of Meg Cabot, the first openly lesbian city councilwoman of Pittsburgh, who, after a vicious hate crime, is suddenly thrust onto the national political stage. With her hard-charging chief-of-staff steering her towards a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, Meg must decide how far she will go to advance her career and what she is (and isn’t) willing to sacrifice to be both a successful politician and a good person.

Festival; the Los Angeles Women’s Theatre Project; the NativeAliens Theater Collective; OutWorks Festival; the Pittsburgh New Works Festival; Stage Q; 10 x 10 in the Triangle; and, Off-Off Broadway at the Emerging Artists Theater and Blue Pearl Theatrics.  Carol has an MFA in Writing for the Screen and Stage from Point Park University’s Conservatory of Performing Arts and she is a member of the Dramatists Guild.
