Former lead singer in a disco cover band turned Gaslight girl, turned actress, turned author of two produced, and wildly unacclaimed plays, and one likely-unseen teleplay, Kay Kudukis is a pragmatic optimist (read: Libra) who has found her bliss in Palm Springs offering honest and "meh"-revered reviews and articles for anyone who has an interest. In addition to writing for stage, TV, and film. Kay contributes to Palm Springs Life, R/M Magazine, the official Modernism Week magazine, The Desert Sun, and Broadway World.
