Gayla Lindsay never lost her love for the stage, having performed since the age of 5. In the early years, Gayla sang with her Dad's country band, then continued to seek stage opportunities throughout high school and at her alma mater, Oklahoma Christian University.
After moving to Anthem and discovering Starlight Community Theater, she encouraged her family to become involved in stage productions. Gayla, her husband, John, and their three daughters all love the spotlight and have been active in various performances with Starlight.
"It's just a passion our family enjoys together. The stage draws us in!" Gayla says.
Besides using her acting and vocal chops for outstanding performances, Gayla uses her design talents to create Starlight's programs and posters.
Gayla is also active in ProMusica in Anthem and she coordinated and directed Anthem's first Living Nativity Christmas 2009.
Gayla, John, and their girls, continue to support the mission and artistic outlet that Starlight Community Theater offers kids, teens and adults of all ages!

Jackie De Angelis absolutely adores, loves, delights in, and is devoted to theater in all its many aspects! It all started on a stormy night…OK, that’s a different story! It all started back in Mississippi when she and her five brothers’ and sisters’ designed their own costumes and write their own plays to wile away the hot summer days. Then “Grease” premiered at the Movie Theater (the only one in town for miles around) and that’s all it took to make it Official…singing, dancing and acting were IT!
Jackie studied dance, and was lucky enough to have two wonderful teachers: Donna Pope, a former Miss Mississippi, and Betty Jo Fleming, a powerhouse performer! Afterwards, she danced for her high school dance team, her college dance team and then, the New Orleans Saints Dance Team, The Saintsations. Jackie cheered and danced for the New Orleans Saints from 1987 until 1992.
Jackie married Roberto DeAngelis in 1990 and they have three beautiful children, who also love the theater! When they moved here in 2003, little did they know that Starlight Community Theater was about to be born! Just three short years ago, they happened to see the Starlight Production of “The Wiz,” and the Starlight bug bit! Since then, Jackie has been involved, along with her children, and never imagined they would be lucky enough to be working with such an amazing group of talented people.
