Before we announce the winners of the 2011 My Theatre Awards, we’re proud to present the My Theatre Nominee Interview Series.

His My Theatre Award-nominated role as Peter in Des McAnuff’s smash hit Jesus Christ Superstar is what’s brought him there.

One of the first reviews Brian Balduzzi did as the new Head of our Boston Theatre division was of Theatre@First’s daringly different production of Peter Shaffer’s Equus. By casting a woman in the […]
