Dedication: Pat Carroll

Pat CarrollWith great affection and respect, we dedicate this production to the memory of our cherished friend, Pat Carroll. Known best to many in today’s audience as the voice of Ursula the Sea- Witch in Disney’s The Little Mermaid, Pat was a great actress on many stages and screens. She frequently shared her talents with all of us here in Richmond, starring in seven productions at Virginia Rep, including Gertrude Stein (3), Nunsense, Grace and Glorie, and The Many Loves of Cass McGuire. Pat loved Richmond, and this theatre company. We will forever remember her talent, her persistence, and her bounteous good will.
