Angelwalk Theatre’s current production of the relationship song cycle I Love You, You’re Perfect, Now Change is a diverting and likable trifle of a show. It’s fun and good-natured with a user-friendly structure that easily hooks the attention span-challenged but leaves those of us who crave a good arc feeling a little short-shrifted since the […]
Before we announce the winners of the 2012 My Theatre Awards, we’re proud to present our annual Nominee Interview Series. The sweet-voiced standout of No Strings Theatre’s 2012 production, Michael Spiroff’s rendition of “I Miss the Music” (the best number in Curtains by far) captured the audience’s hearts. One of our Best Student Actor nominees this […]
