As a gay and
lesbian theatre, Theatre Out presents

passionate about telling the stories
of the GLBT community with romantic
comedies, intriguing musicals,
thrilling mysteries, serious dramas
and everything in between.
Theatre Out

Joey Baital
Producing Director,
Co-Founder
 joey@theatreout.com
Joey
has always had a love for the performing arts. At
the age of 5 his parents forced him to take piano
lessons. Band programs occupied the majority of
his school years. In 1989 he was introduced to
the world of choral music with the Disneyland
Cast Choir. Since then Joey has recorded with the
London Symphony and performed at Disneyland Paris
as part of the Azusa Pacific University choir.
Joey has also performed with Cypress College
Masterworks Choral and Camerrata over the past 13
years, most recently recording the 50 Most
Loved Christmas Carols CD.
Joey is a founding member of Crescendo Vocal
Ensemble, an a capella group based in Orange
County. Crescendo has appeared throughout
Southern California, with performances on the
KLOS Mark & Brian radio show as well as the
Mark & Brian Christmas Concert at the Wiltern
Theatre in Hollywood. In 2005 Crescendo performed
with the Golden State Pops Orchestra at the
historic Warner Grand Theatre in San Pedro.
Crescendo has produced two full-length albums of
their work: Christmas with Crescendo and
'Tis the Season.
In 1998 Joey was fully submersed into the world
of musical theatre, playing a Protean in A
Funny Thing Happened on the Way to the Forum
at the La Habra Depot Theatre. That marked the
start and finish of Joey’s acting career.
Joey joined Men Alive-The Orange County Gay
Men’s Chorus in 2003 and thoroughly enjoys
performing with this great family of men. Men
Alive has performed in Montreal as part of the
2004 international GALA Choruses Conference and
in San Diego as part of a joint concert with the
two men’s choruses of San Diego.
Joey has an AA degree from Cerritos College and
has worked for the Disney Company since 1989.
Joey has always loved the theatre (even more so
since meeting David in 1997) and was very excited
to help found Theatre Out. (Photo by

Darcy Hogan
Literary Director
 darcy@theatreout.com
Darcy
is pleased and proud to have been a part of the
Theatre Out family since the very first
production in 2006, though she did not take on
the role of Literary Director until 2010.
Darcy's first love was acting. She began
attending Theatre School at the age of eight, and
earned her first paycheck at the age of nine.
Throughout her youth she worked mainly on stage,
but also dabbled in film, television and print
work. As an adult, she realized she had no
passion for film and focused solely on stage
work, performing across New York, Nevada,
California and spending four seasons performing
with the Tony Award-Winning Utah Shakespearean
Festival.
Darcy minored in Theatre at the State University
of New York, and Majored in Theatre at Southern
Utah University. It was there that she was
introduced to playwriting, and her passion
quickly shifted from performing plays to creating
them. Her produced scripts include the OC Weekly
Award-Winner for Best New Play, The Land
Southward, and our own wildly popular,
runaway hit musical Last Christmas I Gave You
My Heart But The Very Next Day You Said You Were
Gay (among others). She has also garnered
critical praise for her work as a director,
including our own The Laramie Project, The
Laramie Project: 10 Years Later and her
completely re-envisioned Edward II. (Photo by

Joy Bice
Technical Director
 joy@theatreout.com
Joy
fell in love with theater in high school and will
be working in it until she can no longer type in
a lighting cue. Joy has been working
professionally in the field for 14 years, she has
extensive knowledge in lighting design, sound
design, set design, rigging and set construction.
Joy’s
theatrical past includes Technical Director for
five national tours with AFT , Master Electrician
for Moonlight Stage Productions, and lighting and
sound design for local theaters such as Hunger
Artists and Camino Real Playhouse. In her free
time she would rig for PSAV on shows such as
Disney’s D23 and NAMM. In 2008 Santa Monica
College opened a brand new Performing Arts Center
and hired Joy to be one of three people in charge
of setting up the theater and running every
event. She was blessed to Production Manager for
such names as Baryshnikov and Savion Glover as
well as Shakespeare’s Globe Theater company.
Currently, she has moved over to the
administrative end of the theater, but still
enjoys occasionally running crews.
She
joined the Theatre Out family for their very
first production in 2006, and became Technical
Director when they acquired their first
“home”. She is proud to have helped set
up the Empire Theater and is happy to be a part
of this wonderful theatre company. (Photo by

Though we were saddened that in
2011 he asked to step away to pursue other goals,
Theatre Out
wishes to acknowledge the contributions of Jack
Millis, who formerly worked with us.
