Carolynne Warren may play a character that lives thousands of miles away, but she’s finally back home.
Warren, who plays Signora Naccarelli in the SpeakEasy Stage Company’s “The Light in the Piazza,” which is set in Italy, has been away from the South Shore for more than 20 years. She returned to the Boston area last spring and performed in “Menopause: The Musical” at the Stuart Street Playhouse. Her play “Fancee Panties,” which co-starred popular Boston actresses Mary Callanan and Kathy St. George, played to packed houses this summer.
