Zell also enjoys stage managing and has worked backstage at a number of local theaters including Little Theatre of Alexandria, McLean Community Players, and Port City Playhouse.

Thanks to all the cast and crew and as always, my two little ones, Gabe and Callie! Fore!!! Dina Soltan (Pamela Peabody) is thrilled to be on stage again for her second performance in the U.S., after appearing as Daria Chase in another Ken Ludwig favorite, The Games Afoot (MCP).
