September 2011:  I'm playing Aunt Sally Friedman in Lanford Wilson's FIFTH OF JULY at The Pear Avenue Theatre in Mountainview, directed by Troy Johnson.  What a love of a play and what wonderful actors and what a lovely director.  I think I'm in love!  And yet, my character has returned to the family home to scatter my husband's ashes.  But I also scatter acerbic remarks and pass on my wisdom about the importance of family.  It's been a dream to work at The Pear and now I'm there!

Carolyn Power can do more with a quivering lip and slightly furrowed brow...

Aunt Sally is both eccentric and down to earth..the matricarch who's in touch with what's important...her feelings and motivations...
—Ande Jacobson, A Good Reed Review

Carolyn Power is dynamite as Ana, the Artentine whirlwind.....
