King Pellinore & Madame Lucy


For nine years (1974 to 1983), I acted in thirty plays or musicals in community theater and dinner theater in the Tampa Bay, Florida region.

One of my favorite roles was King Pellinore in Camelot, which is a musical based on the legend of King Arthur. with other cast members portraying King Arthur, Guinevere, and Lancelot.

We had a great cast and had sixteen performances and seventeen cast parties.

Then at another community theater, Irene is a musical set in New York City's Upper West Side and focuses on immigrant shop assistant Irene O'Dare, who is introduced to Long Island's high society when she is hired by one of its leading Grande Dames to help redecorate her home.

I play "Madame Lucy", a flamboyant male artiste, who pretends to be a famous French designer.
