I am praying for a victory for Carol. I am an actor and director of a high school program in Alpharetta. Once I was disillusioned about theatre and Carol was an inspiration telling me not to let anyone come between me and the art I love so much. I will never forget the gift she gave me.

One would be hard pressed to find anyone more loved in the Atlanta theatre community than Carol. Not only incredibly talented, but incredibly kind, compassionate, and humble. We are all sending positive light and energy to this woman who has given us the same for many years.

Get well and live long.

The dearth of comments indicates how truly obscure she is.

I have enjoyed watching her on stage. She is a talented and powerful actress. I pray that she will recover fully. The Lord is able to do what medicine cannot do. Please pray for her strength and total recovery.

I had the opportunity to work with her on stage in the “Vagina Monologues”. She is a very talented actress and a beautiful lady inside and out!

I have known Carol for many years and have never seen her without a smile on her face. She is one of Atlanta’s finest actors. She could have gone on to greater things if she had left Georgia but she chose to stay and teach at Clark Atlanta University, where the students love her. God be with her through this trying time.

Carol is a friend, a food conniseur, and just a comical, “secretive” lady. She is smiling! So lets continue to rally ‘round’ and support whatever she chooses to do. And if anyone was auditioning for “Harvest Time” on 11/26, lets make it happen!!

I am praying for strength and recovery for Mrs. Carol. She was my professor at Clark Atlanta University during my first year yet remained involved in my matriculation at CAU and beyond. I could always count on a smile and a big hug. She is a great person! I will be praying for the family.

Carol Mitchell Leon is nothing short of incredible. My prayers are with her and her family during this trying period. As a student at Morehouse enrolled in oral interpretation courses,etc. at CAU, she was my inspiration and the powerful force of motivation that encouraged me to go to my destiny. She also made sure that all of us were properly exposed to arts & culture in Atlanta via August Wilson’s works and many other great presentations throughout the city. God knows she has made some major contributions to our lives and we know that only God has the power to turn this Gloom into Glory! Come on Atlanta, let’s get our prayer wheels turning!

I took acting classes with Carol in the early 1980s. She’s one of the warmest and most extraordinary individuals I’ve had the pleasure of knowing. There are those among us whose light shines so bright that we can’t help but be drawn to it. I pray that light stays with us a while longer.

My thoughts and get well prayers are with Ms. Leon and her family. I wish her godspeed. While a student in undergrad in the late 1990’s, she was one of my favorite instructors at CAU. I learned immensely from her, she pushed me and saw a talent in me that i have never seen before. Thank you for your gifts… May God Bless You!!!

Carol Mitchell-Leon is one of the kindest ladies you’ll meet. I worked alongside her way back in 1985 and 1986(before her name included “Leon” in it!) at the old Academy Theatre. She has such range! Her discipline and love of theatre lives with me. Get Well Soon, Carol!
