Headshots & In Performance

  • KINKY BOOTS | Maine State

    “Duret brought it all to the stage and…is worth the price of admission all on his own.” — Boothbay Register

    “He is a consummate dancer who is sultry, lithe, and athletic all at once, making you believe he is both a trained boxer and a drag queen entertainer…and a virtuoso performer in the big numbers such as ‘Sex Is in the Heel’…” — BroadwayWorld

  • VIOLET | Skinner Barn, VT

    “The standout singer in this production is Stephane Duret as Flick. In his solo "Let It Sing," he rises above the nonsense of the lyrics to express the show's be-true-to-yourself philosophy with real uplift and joy. Duret is a vocal powerhouse, but he's also adept at filling in harmonies and creating the subtle give and take needed for the trios with Violet and Monty. And he can turn on a dime as an actor, switching between comic bluster and romantic hesitation.”

    — Alex Brown, Seven Days Vermont

  • VIOLET | Skinner Barn, VT

  • KINKY BOOTS | Broadway

    Stephane donned the famed kinky boots as the Lola cover and ensemble member in the smash-hit musical on Broadway.

  • Broadway in Bryant Park

  • HARD TIMES | Off-Broadway

    “Stephane Duret heads the cast. The first time he bursts on stage from the riots on the street, the urgent fear is palpable in his expression. His dancing is at the forefront of many exciting moments. But his big moment come[s]…with a mournful rendition of ‘Old Folks at Home.’”

    — Tyler Plosia, CurtainUp

Voiceover Reel

My mission in life is to continuously create spaces for true acceptance and love.

From the work that I do with children and families of individuals with cognitive and developmental disabilities through Kaiser’s Room to the work that I do on stage, I decided long ago that all I wanted to do was “Good Work,” and thank goodness, that’s all it’s been.
