About Carol Kwiatkowski

Carol Emptage Kwiatkowski, “Mrs. K”, began her teaching career at Bedford High School in 1962. Carol passed away in 2005, following her retirement from Bedford High School in 2000. She directed and produced the high school musicals and plays for twenty years. Her community theatre involvement included The Village Players, The Toledo Repertoire Theatre and The Bedford Community Players, where she donated her time and talents to direct, produce, usher, house manage, tend to concessions, stage manage, and act. Carol’s creativity kept her “right brained” students highly stimulated. When Carol retired, a huge void plagued Bedford and “The Little Theatre”, now known as the Carol Emptage Kwiatkowski Theatre. Carol was best known as the “theater mom” to the Bedford Stage. She is an Honorary International Thespian Society member and will always be listed as an “Angel” in the Bedford Theatre Arts program.
