"Here's what you need to know about me."
Hi, I'm Carrie Libling, Founder and Artistic Director of Electric Moon Theatre Company and, now, Carrie Libling Consulting, too. Originally from Montreal, I hold a BFA in Performing Arts from Boston’s Emerson College and a Certificate in Digital Marketing from York University. I was an actor and voiceover artist in New York for 7 years, before relocating to Toronto in 2005. |
In addition to starting and operating my own small business, I've also developed, implemented and managed arts education and theatre programming for prominent performing arts organizations in Canada and the United States.
"I've been where you are now."
My real-world experience extends to every service offered by Carrie Libling Consulting. Put simply, I've been there and done that, making me intimately familiar with the ups and downs every small business and independent artist encounters. Accordingly, you can be sure the guidance I provide comes with not only caring, but a genuine understanding of your ambition and circumstances.

"Paul Newman was my start."
I began my theatre education career in the mid-1990s, spending four unforgettable summers as Music and Drama Director, at Double "H" Hole in the Woods Ranch—a summer camp founded by Paul Newman for children with critical illnesses. My tenure was highlighted by a weekly talent show, which I produced, directed, wrote, music-directed, and choreographed. "Success takes the stage!"
While in New York, I continued to combine my passion for theatre and teaching, while working for Camp Broadway, creating and leading workshops for Broadway shows. After appearing in several original |

children’s musicals for New York's renowned Vital Theatre Company, I became their Director of Family Programming. Here, I spent spent five years commissioning, producing, and directing original musicals for children. In 2009, following the New York success of Pinkalicious, the Off-Broadway musical, I produced the first Canadian Production of the show at the Richmond Hill Centre for the Performing Arts, where a planned six-week run was extended to over six months of sold-out performances.
From 2012 to 2017, I served as Education Coordinator at the Richmond Hill Centre for the Performing Arts, overseeing and programming, while implementing school performances, theatre workshops, lunch-time and after-school theatre programs, summer camps, and related activities. Finally, in 2018, I put that same energy and experience into my own Electric Moon Theatre Company.
