D’Arcy is excited to return to SMCP after straying to Stratford to appear in a number of musicals including Hello Dolly! (Horace Vandergelder), Into the Woods (Mysterious Man), My Favorite Year (Allan Swann) and The Mikado (Pooh-Bah). His last appearance in St. Marys was as Ali Hakim in Oklahoma, a show he remembers fondly. The last straight play he did was many years ago in Thorndale, where he was directing Robertson Davies’ Overlaid for the dinner theatre there.
