Di Sortore
President
Di Sortore has been active in music and theater for a really, really, really long time. Theater offerings include the role of “Yente” in Fiddler on the Roof, stage managing productions of Greater Tuna; and playing keyboards for The Wizard of Oz and The Sound of Music. Here in La Veta Di’s hilarious portrayal of “Gail Nail” in The Treasure of Shiver River was Di’s second appearance on the La Veta stage. Her first was in the December 2013 Christmas production of Ho, Ho, Ho, Radio but local La Veta theater-goers will recognize her as one-half of the carnival act “Kit & Kat” in the dinner theater event Midway to Murder, followed by “Roxie” in the 2019 dinner theater production of Double Trouble At Twin Peaks. On the comedy stage, Di portrayed “Patricia,” the only (somewhat) sane retirement home resident in The Old People Are Revolting and “Mrs. Johnstone” in the recent Fawlty Towers. With her many musical talents, Di sang the roles of kooky “Betty Jean” in The Marvelous Wonderettes and “Mrs. Snustad (Vivian)” in Church Basement Ladies. Most recently, Di kept the audience laughing as “Clairee” in Steel Magnolias. 2024 will be her first year in Fall Follies, where she is sure to keep you laughing.
