Stages: The Life and Times of a Kansas Actor

Tom Frye is a beloved actor, director, and educator who has been making people laugh-both on and off stage-for more than half a century. In Stages, he shares his madcap adventures of growing up in a time before color television, building a career as a working actor, and falling in love with life. From his hometown of Wichita, Kansas, to the lights of Broadway and beyond, Frye's stories are delightful, poignant, and laugh-out-loud funny. Not quite a celebrity memoir, Stages includes some name-dropping of the rich and famous, but also intimate recollections about close friends and family. Those who know Frye will likely recognize the cast of characters who populate his tales. Those that don't will want to invite him to the next neighborhood trivia night. And he'll probably come.
