Prudie Cup (aka Karen)


Karen Frye (Prudie) has appeared in over 40 Indianapolis area productions over the past 20 years. Favorite roles include: Adelaide in Guys & Dolls (many times), Mabel in Mack & Mabel, Prudie in Pump Boys & Dinettes (many, many times), The Baker's Wife in Into the Woods (traveling to Japan to represent the U.S. in the Toyama Amateur Theatre festival with fellow “Dinette” Marni Lemons), and Jen in the Indiana premiere of John & Jen. Most recently she appeared as Miss Hannigan in Annie at the Actors’ Studio and Ida Webb in Civic’s production of Twentieth Century.
By day, Karen is the marketing director for Dance Kaleidoscope, Indiana's premier professional contemporary dance company and the proud mom of Sam (12) and Elizabeth (10). Karen (a former ‘pageant girl’ herself) is a former board member of the Miss Indianapolis Scholarship Pageant and of Theatre on the Square. She is also a costume designer and owned and operated local costume house Costumes by Margie for many years. She sends many thanks to a very tolerant, theatre-widower husband, Bryan!

  1. Hey, Karen. How many years has it been since we both worked at Alpha Gamma Delta Headquarters? I can hardly believe that Sam is 12 and Elizabeth is 10. Can't catch you this weekend, but I have seen you and the others at least three times. Jackie Cramer aka liloldlady on IA
