“Enough about Horton, let’s talk about me!”
Where to find me:
All About me
You can always find Carson hard at work in the theatre. Whether he's putting the work into building a character as an actor, planning to achieve his artistic vision as a director, or even creating his very own new work as a writer/composer; he is a self proclaimed lover of the arts and creative soul.
In May of 2023, he graduated from the University of Montevallo with a Bachelor of Fine Arts in Musical Theatre where he was able to hone his craft and interests. His plan after the current contract he is on is to move to New York to further pursue his artistic endeavors.
Born and raised in a small town called Arab, Alabama, Carson's interest in theatre was nurtured from a young age allowing his love for the craft to grow to a professional level where he strives to make this art form fun and accessible for all. He is a proud alum of both Arab Musical Theatre and Lighthouse Theatre Company.
Though he's an introvert and great listener, he is a true funnyman at his core who loves to make people laugh. He hopes he brightens up every rehearsal room he enters.

DIrecting & Teaching
Carson was nominated for "Best Direction of a Play" in the 2023 BroadwayWorld Birmingham Awards, honoring his direction of Molly Smith Metzler's Elemeno Pea.
Writing & composition
Previously:
Carson wrote, directed, and stage managed his own work! "Starpower" was a labor of love surrounded by people that truly made it work. It was interesting for him to get to fully realize this idea he had to a full-fledged production.
CURRENTLY:
Carson is working on an original piece tentatively called "All Fired Up!" which draws inspiration from those classic summer camp slasher movies. This is his first time composing a musical but if possible, he'd like to entirely make this project by himself. He hopes to finish the first draft by Summer 2025, so that he can begin readings and start making edits to the score and book.
Stay tuned for future updates on the project!
Upcoming
Carson is beyond excited to be returning to dollywood this fall and winter! He will be a part of great pumpkin luminights and o’ holy night.
