Carole Demas

On stage 2 productions

Each row is a staging this name appears in the cast list of, read from the production record rather than from the person record. The person record names works instead, and a work cannot say which run somebody was in — that is how Elaine Stritch ends up filed under Show Boat 1927 when she was in the 1994 revival. No row here says what part was played, because no cast list records it.

Both names in the same cast list, more than once. It is not evidence of a partnership — a long-running company puts the same forty people together every night — but it is where one would start looking.

• I arrived in Los Angeles in May of 1976. I walked into a situation I knew nothing about. All I knew was that Carole Demas had been fired, not that the show was in trouble.

• It didn’t take much to see that the show had problems. Signs of trouble were everywhere, even this early in the run.

What this page does not know

• What this person played. No cast list we hold records a character against a performer.
• Which of the credits above the roles on this record — actor — apply to. The roles sit on the person and never on a credit, so a director who also acted looks the same here as one who did not.
