Innovative. Tenacious. Inspiring. Diva. Words to describe the one and only Kathy Dietch. I've always been drawn towards women who fit this description. (Full disclosure; I am married to one!). Women who are very much at home playing the Diva on stage and might not follow a traditional path or be satisfied with what box society places them in.

Theatre is alive and well in Ivoryton, as you’ll see when the hilarious comedy, NATIVE GARDENS by Karen Zacarias, opens May 19.
