Theatre
Cady began working in the theatre at a very young age. Her first professional production was as a chorus girl in "The Music Man" and "Finian's Rainbow" at Fullerton College. Other small California productions followed such as "Wait Until Dark" and "Dames at Sea." She was cast in a workshop production of the then titled "40" starring Bonnie Franklin, and was brought to New York with the production as part of a pre-Broadway tryout at the John Drew Theater in East Hampton. With Lyrics by Judith Viorst, the production title was changed to "Happy Birthday and Other Humiliations." She went on to work with Mary Beth Piel and Ron Rains in "A Little Night Music" at the New York Opera Ensemble, "Quiet on the Set" at the Westbeth Theater, as Hero in "Much Ado About Nothing" at the Lincoln Center Stages, "Comedy of Errors" at the Hudson Theatre Guild, "Barefoot in the Park" at the Westbury Music Fair, "Self Offense" with the Cucaracha Theatre Company, "Inventions of Farewell" at HERE Theatre (a one woman show directed by Estep Nagy), and "The Red Address" as Lady, written by David Ives.
She also wrote, produced and acted in a one-woman piece of performance art called "Mona 7," which dealt with abuse and its affect on a young woman.

Famous quotes containing the word theatre:
“The theatre is the involuntary reflex of the ideas of the crowd.”
—Sarah Bernhardt (1845–1923)
“If an irreducible distinction between theatre and cinema does exist, it may be this: Theatre is confined to a logical or continuous use of space. Cinema ... has access to an alogical or discontinuous use of space.”
—Susan Sontag (b. 1933)
“To save the theatre, the theatre must be destroyed, the actors and actresses must all die of the plague. They poison the air, they make art impossible. It is not drama that they play, but pieces for the theatre. We should return to the Greeks, play in the open air: the drama dies of stalls and boxes and evening dress, and people who come to digest their dinner.”
—Eleonora Duse (1858–1924)
