Stu Cabe - Artistic Director
Stu began his professional theatre career with Coeur d’ Alene Summer Theatre during the 1986 season as a company member of CST’s The Carousel Players. Thirty-three years later, Stu has done virtually everything there is to do in the CST world, from performer to technician, director to board member and is honored to be the 6th Artistic Director in the fifty-two year history of CST. Stu met his wife Callie in 1994’s production of Seven Brides for Seven Brothers. Stu and Callie have two teenage kids, Madison and Jack, and have called CDA their home since 2003. CST also opened the door to theatre education, Stu’s eventual double Master’s degree in education, his current “day job” as a full time youth speaker. Stu now travels the country speaking to young people regarding anti-bullying. Stu loves Coeur d’Alene and is grateful to all who support live theatre in this community…and beyond.
Annette Nolting- Managing Director
Annette has been actively involved in theatre since she was 13, either onstage when she was younger or behind the scenes doing makeup and hair, choreography or backstage management. Mixing theatre with work life, is just an added benefit to the week. She was production team hair and makeup for Christian Youth Theater North Idaho for 5 years, as well as a founding member of Aspire Community Theatre. She also teaches east coast swing to various groups in the area as well as a few traveling tour groups that have performed at local retirement homes and festivals. When not doing theatre Annette enjoys spending time with her husband, Jordan, and their son, Samuel.
Diana Bailey - Office Coordinator
Diana has been involved with theatre starting in early elementary school. She has one degree in Criminal Justice and is partway through another degree in accounting, but her true passion is theatre. She always knew that she would end up working in the theatre world, and she is so happy to be a part of the oldest performing arts organization in Idaho! She has been seen on stage locally at North Idaho College and through Coeur d’Alene Murder Mystery Theatre, where she also had the opportunity to direct. Diana will be having her first child early February, 2020, and cannot wait to introduce him to all that this world has to offer.
Tyler Page - Box Office Assistant
Tyler has had a love for all things theatre from a very young age. He began performing with church and school groups while in elementary school and has enjoyed roles with several of our local theatre groups over the years. Most recently, he held the position of Lead Elf for Coeur d'Alene's Holiday Lights Cruises, and worked as Light Board Operator and SFX Operator during CST's 2019 Summer Season. During the winter, Tyler spends his weekends teaching children how to snowboard as a volunteer instructor with Lookout Pass’s Free Ski School program. When not working, he is likely finding a reason to gather with friends or family. Tyler is thrilled to be expanding his role with CST.
