Diedre
Kaye, Stuart’s wife, theatre director and co‑owner
of DP has high hopes for the coming season.
“I’ve
never enjoyed football as much as I do now that I’m
directing Alexx’s newest sports parody,” Kaye said.
“And of course, with two venues, we’re doubling the
size of our troupe. In addition to offering two shows
a week at our great new venues, we’re also increasing
the number of private shows we’re doing at country
clubs and community centers around the Valley. We’re
already filling up our fall and winter calendar and
even booking shows for next season.”
In
addition to the five shows Stuart penned on the slate
this season, the couple will co‑author a new
musical parody, “Three Divas and a Darryl.”
Kevin
Glenn has come on board to serve as musical director
for the season’s shows.
“I’m
thrilled to be working with Diedre and Alexx,” Glenn
said. “ They have cast their shows with talented and
fun actors. Diedre and I work well together and Alexx’s
writing keeps me laughing. We make a great team. I’m
looking forward to being able to perform in one of
these shows as well as doing the musical direction
for them.
With
the exception of Glenn’s help, Stuart and Kaye do
everything it takes to run the company on their own.
Kaye
does the marketing for the shows or works with Glenn
on the music, while Stuart is writing or rewriting
shows or organizing props and costumes for the next
performance.
