But currently — like at this very moment — he’s been helming Uptown Players’ world premiere of Silver Foxes, a new play written by Golden Girls scribes James Berg and Stan Zimmerman.
The show opened Thursday night, March 3, at Theatre Three’s black box stage and runs through March 12. The cast features BJ Cleveland, Leslie Marie Collins, Edson Montenegro, Jon Morehouse and Robert San Juan.
A Plano native, Urie has been mixing the professional and personal while he has been back home in North Texas, hanging out in familiar territory here while also serving as director for the new production.
