Karen Errington, local actress, died early Tuesday morning

Local actress and singer Karen Errington died this morning after a several-month battle with breast cancer, The Kansas City Star‘s Robert Trussell reported. Errington was 49.

Trussell does a better job than I can of recapping Errington’s theater career, in which she worked for just about every company in town (the Unicorn, the American Heartland, the New Theatre, Kansas City Actors Theatre and the Heart of America Shakespeare Festival).
