Kay's Story

Life Writing a bio about 35 years of life since high school is quite difficult-needless to say! But, the most important parts are as follows: I met my husband when I was 19 and we have been happily married for 31 years. My husband's name is Tom Purin and he is a Commercial Photographer. We are blessed to have a beautiful 17 year old daughter who is a talented Visual Arts Major at the Dreyfoos School of the Arts. As for me-even though our music teacher at Forest Hill told me I wasn't a good enough singer to be in the small female ensemble group at school, I became an Opera Singer at the age of 20 and sang with the Palm Beach Opera for 25 years. During that time I also sang in several musical productions at Burt Reynolds Dinner Theatre and with other playhouses including the Cuillo Centre for the Arts where I did "Phantom of the Opera" two seasons ago. I took a short hiatus from the opera and just this year went back. I had started rehearsing for two operas for the season when I was asked to audition for "Menopause the Musical", an Off-Broadway show that is being performed at the Cuillo. ...Expand for more
So, I put opera on hold and joined the cast of Menopause. This show is an hilarious spoof at all the problems associated with menopause and set to the music of the 60's. I play "Earth Mother" a drug-damaged, spaced-out member of the Menopause generation. I'll be in the cast from March 28th through April 20th. If you get a chance to see the show, please do come up on the stage at the end of the show and see me. Bye for now! Well, it is now several years later (2013) and my life has changed tremendously. My loving husband of almost 40 years past away 4 years ago by suicide. He had an adverse reaction to an anti-depressant and in a moment of very bad depression he shot himself. With the help of my precious daughter, my friends and my church family, I am getting on with my life. I am still working and don't have very much time to perform, but I hope to start auditioning again very soon and get back on the stage where God means for me to use my God given gifts of acting and singing. If any of my old or new buddies want to get together, please e-mail me. I look forward to it. Bye for now!
