Out of her passion for all things Broadway, Carolan created the first Broadway cabaret in the state of Tennessee, Absinthe, A Broadway Cabaret, bringing Broadway performers and cabaret artists to perform standards from The Great American Songbook repertoire of classics by such beloved composers as Lerner & Loewe, Rodgers & Hammerstein, Gershwin, Berlin, and Cole Porter. 

Raised on the Ohio River, in the picturesque pottery town of East Liverpool, Carolan’s upbringing was colored by a rich and diverse heritage. “My mother was Italian and my father was Serbian”, she explains. “They were proud Americans and taught my brothers and me about our European heritage. They also taught us to be passionate in all we do.” That passion can be clearly seen in Trbovich’s life and career, which she approaches with great enthusiasm. Carolan is thrilled to return to Nashville after 7 years of writing for BroadwayWorld Sarasota and affirms, "The Nashville area has so much unparalleled talent and the finest venues for all types of staging. It's an honor and a blessing for me to be "back home" and reporting on all things entertainment in Music City".
