Margaret Kaler

Margaret Kaler started acting in plays with the St. Augustine Little Theater when she was a child. It was fun, and remains to this day a direct path to joy. 

In high school, she was Antigone in Anouilh’s play directed by Thomas Rahner. Her mother, sister and she were all in “Separate Tables” together at the little Theater.

At the University of Florida she played Annie Sullivan in “Miracle Worker,” Joan of Arc in “The Lark” and Anya in “The Cherry Orchard.”

She was an apprentice and then a member of the acting company at FSU’s Asolo Theatre in Sarasota, Florida--- a professional equity theater.  

Eventually she came back to St. Augustine and worked with Cross and Sword. 

She taught English and drama in Jacksonville, and started working with the St. Augustine Little Theatre and other theatres in the area: The St. George Street Players, Theater Jacksonville, Jacksonville Actors Theater, Limelight Theater, Oasis Theater, and A Classic Theater. She directed “Motherhood Out Loud” and “Facility for Living” for Limelight Theatre and “1984” for A Classic Theatre.

She was most recently the psychiatrist in Amy Goldin’s “Shrink Rap” with Rising Tide Productions,  and Alice B. Toklas in ACT’s “Gertrude Stein and A Companion.”
