Carolyn Mignini
started performing on her dad's knee, learning songs from the
30's and 40's from him in order to stay up past bedtime. She
has made a career in theater and television, one of the high
points being a Drama Desk nomination for her portrayal of Anna
Held in TINTYPES on Broadway.
She appeared in the New York premier of
THE MIDDLE AGES by A.R. Gurney and SISTER MARY EXPLAINS IT ALL
FOR YOU & THE ACTOR'S NIGHTMARE by Christopher Durang. One
of her first shows in N.Y. was THE FANTASTICKS, off-Broadway.
She spent several seasons taping CBS' CAPTAIN KANGAROO, creating
a wide variety of characters for the much honored children's
program.
Carolyn's other Broadway shows include
A HISTORY OF THE AMERICAN FILM by Christopher Durang; ONE NIGHT
STAND , a Bruce Jay Friedman comedy; TRICKS, a musical version
of SCAPIN and FIDDLER ON THE ROOF. She is a member of ENSEMBLE
STUDIO THEATER in New York and in Los Angeles.
When she relocated to Los Angeles, her
acting work shifted to television, doing shows like THE PRACTICE,
CHICAGO HOPE, MAD ABOUT YOU, MURPHY BROWN, PICKET FENCES, WONDER
YEARS, FAMILY TIES and NEWHART, to name a few. Carolyn also co-starred
in several Movies of the Week, among them; BACKFIELD IN MOTION
with Roseanne, EMPTY CRADLE with Kate Jackson, and HBO's VIETNAM
WAR STORIES. She also acted in two highly acclaimed theater productions;
the Los Angeles premier of Stephen Sondheim's ASSASINS at the
L.A. Repertory Company and Clifford Odet's AWAKE AND SING at
the Odyssey Theater.
Carolyn now devotes all her time to teaching
and coaching. She runs a successful studio in Studio City, teaching
vocal technique privately to singers of all levels, from seasoned
professionals to absolute beginners. She also conducts a weekly
Musical Performance Class at the Larry Moss Studio in Santa Monica.
Carolyn has directed a number of cabaret acts, as well as a series
of musical revivals; THE YEARLING, GOLDEN RAINBOW, and FIG LEAVES
ARE FALLING as benefit performances at the Gardenia in West Hollywood.
