Darcelle XV Plays
Walter W. Cole who purchased the Demas Tavern had been an actor while he was in the Army (1950-1952) and then in the early 1960s. Producing and staging plays on his stage at the Demas Tavern and Darcelle XV showplace is something that made sense to him.
Four shows were produced at the space from 1974 - 1977. Darcelle’s has hosted many acts over the years, but these four productions were ones Walter/Darcelle helped produce and star in.
