ENTANGLED: 12 SCENES IN A CIRCLE K OFF THE I-40 IN NEW MEXICO
Written by Mona Mansour and Emily Zemba Conceived by SOCIETY
Directed by Scott Illingworth
​
Off the I-40 in the American southwest sits a Circle K gas station where something strange is happening: Time and space shift, happy couples suddenly break up, and people disappear for days after stepping into the tiny bathroom. Is this place a portal, tied to the decades of deathly scientific research just a few miles away? In this play - born from ensemble research, debate, and playwright-driven improvisation - theories of free will and quantum science play out in massive dance parties and micro emotional exchanges that may have epic implications.
Caroline is a founding company member of SOCIETY. First launched in 2020, SOCIETY commits to doing a play before a word is written, before funds have been secured, before the collective even picks an idea. Our process is based on the Joint Stock method — a fiercely collaborative and playwright-driven way of making work, born in the UK in 1974. In addition to acting in this show, Caroline is one of the producers! LEARN ABOUT SOCIETY

Are the Bennet Girls Ok?
Are the Bennet Girls OK? was an acclaimed, Off-Broadway production in fall 2025. This reimagining of Pride and Prejudice by playwright Emily Breeze, and directed by Bedlam's Eric Tucker, warranted several extensions.
It received rave reviews for its irreverent, fast-paced take on the characters—featuring strong, modern dialogue, emotional depth, and a focus on female bonds rather than just courtship. Caroline played the youngest and bold sister, Lydia Bennet.

Caroline starred in an Off-Broadway run of IF WE KISS in December 2025. The production was staged by The MAP Theater, a company known for developing new works that blend humor and emotional insight.
​
Originally a beloved young-adult book, If We Kiss follows Charlie, a high school junior who’s never been kissed and isn’t particularly interested—until a classmate named Kevin changes everything. Their awkward encounter sparks feelings Charlie never expected, just as her best friend Tess begins falling for the same boy. When their parents’ lives start to intertwine, the situation grows even more complicated. Set in 2003, the play explores the sweet, confusing territory of first love, family, and identity.

"the luminous Caroline Grogan as Thomasina, a preternaturally wise student, and the stormy Shaun Taylor-Corbett as Septimus, her tenacious tutor... The pair find a seductive chemistry that blossoms as Septimus opens Thomasina’s mind to entropic (and erotic) possibilities." ​

"The 14-person cast is packed with majestic, unflappable types (Rosa Gilmore, Jennifer Mogbock, Shayvawn Webster, Alex Templer) and gifted, panicky clowns (Brian Bock, Caroline Grogan, Alex Templer, again), so there’s plenty of comic fodder for their hierarchy games."
