When we announced the cast for the upcoming First Stage Theatre Company production of High School Musical, there were two cast members not listed. The show features about 50 high school and middle school performers, but there are two roles that will feature adults - namely, the basketball coach, Mr. Bolton, and the drama teacher, Ms. Darbus.
Our coach's real name is still under wraps as our candidate continues to think it over, but I'm happy to announce that we have our Ms. Darbus - and it's none other than Debbie Wolfe. Debbie has appeared in quite a few local shows, is a former Mrs. America and is a wonderfully talented actress. I first met her (mumblety-mumble) years ago, when I was a cameraman for WOWK-TV, and she was in the running for Miss America. I've worked with her talented children in shows before, but this is the first time we've worked together, and all I can say is - it's about darn time! I know she's going to love playing the funny, over-the-top drama teacher in HSM.
Hopefully we'll be able to reveal the coach's identity very soon now...
