Little Red Cap Meets the Wolf

NOELLE McGRATH DePAULA (Mutti, King, Witch, Wolf, etc.)

Noelle has been making an entrance since the age of seven, when she led a children's chorus onstage in the opera Faust.  Over the years she has been seen as Agnes Gooch in Mame, Mrs. Peachum in The Threepenny Opera, Putana in 'Tis Pity She's a Whore, Anne and the Quintet in A Little Night Music, Emily Dickinson and Mary Todd Lincoln in Americana, Agnes in The Shadow Box, Antonia in Man of La Mancha, Luisa in The Fantasticks, and even Mother Theresa in Calcutta Rose.  These and many more performances in California were followed by NYC roles such as The Countess Aurelia in The Madwoman of Chaillot at MTB Studio Theatre, Miss Havisham in Great Expectations at the Mill Mountain Theatre, and Gertrude Stein in In Circles at the Judson Memorial Theatre in Greenwich Village.  Noelle met Iris Rose in 1979 and worked with her on shows at the wonderfully experimental Found Theatre in Long Beach, CA.

JULIET DePAULA (Adelheid, Princess, Gretel, Little Red Cap, etc.)

Juliet has been seen in commercials for American Express and the Sci-Fi Channel.  She was featured in an episode of Wondershowzen for MTVKids, and also in the film short "The Boundary".  She has performed in many musicals and concerts at YADA (Youth Academy of Dramatic Arts) in Los Angeles, at the Actor's Chapel in NYC, as well as in her Mom's cabaret act at the Laurie Beachman Theatre on Theatre Row.  Juliet just completed her freshman year at the Professional Performing Arts School (PPAS) in Manhattan.
