Her most notable roles were: Jinx Jenkins in The Savannah Sipping Society, Mrs. Petrelli in Little Old Ladies in Tennis Shoes, and Grace Bodell in Fireflies.

As an avid fan of courtroom dramas (or courtroom adjacent in this case) he is especially excited to be cast as Juror #7. A professional video editor and content creator by trade, Russell still enjoys stepping out from behind the computer to collaborate on theatrical productions when he can.

Carol Kilgore (Juror Nine)
This is Carol's first time on The Core Stage and she is so excited to be here with such a wonderful cast and crew! Recently she played the role of First Lady Crawford (Grace Street Church).

Over the years Carol has been involved with productions as prop master, costume assistant, seater, box office, etc. Her day job is a Senior Financial Analyst with NTTA.
