The video will be distributed in the fall to various community outlets and syndicated on the Web.
In August, Kaity played two roles in Steve Martin's comedy "Picasso at the Lapin Agile" -- Schmendiman (male) and, oddly enough, Schmendiman's (female) admirer. The play was staged at the Temple of Music and Art in Tucson, Arizona.
