You may know Melissa Fitzgerald for playing the role of Carol on NBC’s award-winning political drama, The West Wing. You may not know that Melissa Fitzgerald is an entrepreneur who has created so much good in the world. She grew up at a time when it was common for very well-educated mothers to lead a tremendous amount of really important volunteer work. Her parents were both activists and engaged with creating opportunities for others. So, after acting school and living in New York, that tenacity showed up as she jumped right in to create an off-Broadway theater with a group of unemployed actors and it was a success.
