Carol Dickerson Sutton was a magical person. On the stage, on the screen, and in real life. Every night during our run of OUR TOWN, I would watch her monologue and it made me cry and laugh. Every. Single. Night. She made it all look so effortless. She was a joy to be around, and listening to her talk about acting and theatre will stay with me forever. She also came to our table-read off-book—always a pro, always a class act. One of my favorite things in the world is when I’m watching a show on T.V., and I see her glorious personage come on the screen. I always jump up and shout, “Ms. Carol! Look, it’s Ms. Carol!” Then I clap and cheer, because somehow, by my very good fortune and incredible luck, I am connected to her, if only in the smallest of ways.

My heart is with the theatre community of New Orleans tonight. Carol Dickerson Sutton will be so missed and mourned.

Please wear a mask. Just…please…wear a mask. – Rhianna Van Helton
