Bridget McCarthy
Actor. Mental Health Professional. Advocate.
"Bridget McCarthy is an uplifting and dynamic presence in creative spaces. Her creativity, wit and humor make her a joy to work with and her sense of play makes her even more fun to direct. She has such a generous, can-do spirit and I could not commend her to any program more."
- Cameryn Richardson, Atlanta Shakespeare Company
Hamlet: Atlanta Shakespeare Company
Directed by Jaclyn Hoffman, 2018

- Joey Davila, Stage Door Theatre
Much Ado About Nothing: Atlanta Shakespeare Company
Directed by Laura Cole, 2016
"Bridget is honest and raw and present. She uses her body brilliant...[and] interweaves pieces of Shakespeare’s text, using his verse to carry her emotions when her own words are inadequate...It covers a lot of serious material... But it is so funny...and it’s perfect.”
- Aili Huber, Director
"Bridget is terrific to have in the rehearsal room. She is talented, smart, compassionate, open, collaborative, and a joy to be around. I would cast her again without hesitation."
- Kelly Johnston
