Paul Wegman's talents have blessed the stages of Central Florida since 1975. He performed in more than 100 plays during his lifetime, including Bent, The Elephant Man, A Christmas Carol, Othello, Little Shop of Horrors, A Midsummer Night's Dream, and Angels in America. His most famous role was that of the bawdy "Miss P," which spanned over 25 years at the Parliament House resort. His playful banter on the stage of the Footlights Theater left the audience crying out, "Pussy!", "Roll!" and his shout of "Put your hands together!" always created a spontaneous and on-cue clap from the audience. He was a well-read and accomplished director, performer, and female impersonator.
