Carmen is an actor and writer; she was born and raised in Boston and is currently based in NYC. She is a graduate of the Yale School of Drama. Her theater credits include work with directors Ivo van Hove (in his adaptation of Ingmar Bergman’s Scenes from a Marriage), Lileana Blain-Cruz (on Maria Irene Fornés’s Fefu and her Friends), Rachel Chavkin (in Bess Wohl’s nearly silent play Small Mouth Sounds), and Tyne Rafaeli (at Lincoln Center Theater in Brian Watkins’ Epiphany). She has done extensive new play development all over New York — with BAM, The Public Theater, MTC, Atlantic Theater Company, Playwrights Horizons, Page 73, Soho Rep, and many others. Her TV and film credits include a co-starring role in the feature film Bel Canto opposite Julianne Moore and Ken Watanabe, a featured role in the film Pimp starring Keke Palmer and rapper DMX, and a recent top of show guest star on NBC’s FBI. As a writer, her pilot script Luna made it to the final round at the Sundance Episodic Lab in 2022. She has two beloved cats named Melon and Nino, and the movies she’s seen more times than any others would have to be The Apartment and The Birdcage. Her favorite living person is Lydia Tár.
