Remembering Carson Merry-Baillie
Carson Merry-Baillie left this stage for a grander role on December 8, 2021. ABET was her vision and her gift to us all, along with many fond memories from that very first play in 1992 to her second “retirement” in 2007. After directing the first ABET play, Tocoi Light, she went on to direct 48 more plays, including all of the Russian plays, acting in many as well as handling the photography and publicity. She loved the theatre and she loved ABET, and we loved her. Her obituary in the Florida Times-Union can be found here. https://www.jacksonville.com/obituaries/p0175376
A celebration-of-life will be held in the new year.
