The premiere production of Patrimony opens May 5 (less than 3 weeks from now) for 8 performances only. Red Rover Theatre is presenting at 18th & Union Arts Space in Seattle. In Tulsa, Oklahoma a scared teenager with no father is struggling as he seeks one. Terrified, his mother isn’t sure where to turn. The boy tries to enlist the help of an imaginary friend from the past. Secrets abound.

The Philadelphia Shakespeare Theatre founders shine a spotlight on the Meaning of Macbeth.

To see an incredibly talented young cast successfully take on an emotionally intense show, I highly recommend MISS SAIGON, as performed by Sabrina's Encore Productions at the Klein Memorial Auditorium in Bridgeport, CT.

Check out photos from BPA's upcoming production of LOVE LETTERS!

Dapper, debonair and devastatingly quick-witted, Alexander Armstrong is instantly recognisable - as much for his perfectly enunciated voice as his impeccably groomed appearance. He is also a man who likes to take chances. Alexander made his name in comedy at the turn of the millennium, as one half of the BAFTA winning duo Armstrong & Miller. Then in 2009, on the back of his success as a regular guest host on "Have I Got News For You", he was offered a permanent role as the host of BBC1's "Pointless". Always one for a new challenge, Armstrong leapt at the chance. Now, he is branching out again.

The Christmas musical is fast becoming one of the highlights of Sheffield Theatres' programme. Last year's My Fair Lady was a sell-out crowd-pleaser that earned a range of plaudits. So how does Sheffield Crucible's production of Oliver! compare?
