Carob Bartholomew

Carob Bartholomew, founder and director of Spanish Fork's Theater In The Park, is excited to bring this opportunity to the people of Utah county. After moving to Spanish Fork in March 2009 Carob fell in love with the library park and found it to be the perfect venue for such a production. Carob loves to teach and loves to learn. Her passion for theater and creativity is second only to her love of people.

Carob has been acting since the age of 9 when she starred in weekly vacation bible school skits. During high school she was very involved with a small Shakespeare company not unlike Theater In The Park. In Her junior year of high school she was accepted into Cornish College of the Arts. She completed her education at the Northwest Actors Studio in the conservatory program. Carob has worked with many of Seattle's prestigious theaters. She has also written, acted and directed for various fringe theaters and church productions. Carob has most recently become a member of the Spanish Fork Community Theater Board and the Spanish Fork Arts Council.

Carob believes that theater should be fun, accessible and open to everyone! She is a big believer in inclusion theater and strives to cast productions with diversity in mind. She welcomes everyone regardless or age, race, religion, ability or disability to come be a part of the show!
When Carob is not involved in theater she loves to entertain friends and spend time with her two princes Liam (aka the Monkey), and Adam, the most supportive husband ever! (He'd have to be to let her do this.)
