Barbara Colby
Barbara Colby attended high school in New Orleans, Louisana. During her senior year, she fell in love with acting and joined a local community theater crew in the French Quarter known as Le Petit Theatre du Vieux Carre, where she flourished.
While at the community theater Barbara was involved in two roles. She often sewed costumes for the actors of the plays, but what she loved most was the acting itself. It was a hobby for her, but it was soon a career for the young actress.
Barbara’s academic success and theater performances earned her a scholarship at the coveted Bard College on the Hudson in New York. Not only was it a premier college for the arts, but it was also a chance for her to get back to her roots as it was her home state.
