About Me
In the past several years, Cari has hunted Jack the Ripper, butled in a Play that went Wrong, and ruled over the denizens of Hell, among other theatrical adventures. This October, she can be found haunting the grounds of the Peabody Essex Museum. Cari's 14 years of classical dance training often comes in handy onstage, as does her recent SAFD training in stage combat.
By night an avid thespian, by day Cari is an English professor. She particularly enjoys teaching and studying fairy tales, adaptations across media, and how stage combat contributes to narratives.

Haunted Histories: Fatal Graces
October 17 & 18, 2024
This October, step into Salem’s dark past on a candlelit visit to PEM’s historic houses. Hear haunting tales of murder and mystery based on real events, told by storytellers dressed in period garb. To calm your beating heart, we’ll have warm drinks and bites available for purchase, like hotdogs, popcorn and baked goods from local favorite Ziggy’s. Plus, join us around the fire to warm up with fiddle music and hair-raising tricks from our roving magician.
Storytelling takes place inside three of PEM’s historic houses: the John Ward (1684), Quaker Meeting (about 1688), and Derby-Beebe Summer house (1799).
Tickets will be available soon (and this event usually sells out quickly), so keep an eye on the Peabody Essex Museum's website or this website for more info!
SAFD certification
Summer 2024
This summer, I had the pleasure and honor of attending the 3-week SAFD (Society of American Fight Directors) actor combatant training workshop in Ruston, LA.
I studied 30 hours of two-handed sword, 30 hours of rapier & dagger, 30 hours of unarmed combat, as well as a splash (about 15 hours) of knife with some of the best (and loveliest) people in the business. And I'm pleased to report that I passed my tests and am now a certified Actor Combatant with SAFD!
