Your Favorite Shows

OK, readers, it's time to make your voice heard! The question of the week is: what stage shows (musical or non-musical) would you like to see presented locally?

Most community theatre groups choose their shows the same way: a small group of people, usually members of the board guiding the theatre group, get together and decide what shows the group will tackle in the coming year.

Here at your Tri-State Theatre blog, we think it's time you had a voice in this process. So tell us what show (or shows) you'd like to see on stage. We'll add up the votes and present the winners a week from today.

You can vote by leaving a comment - just click on the link at the bottom of this entry. You don't have to leave your real name or your email address - just tell us what shows you'd like to see and why. If you'd rather avoid the comments process, you can send an email to The Minskers@aol.com.

Of course, there are many shows that aren't available to community theatre groups - like Wicked and Phantom of the Opera, for example. Anything that's still running strong on Broadway probably won't be available for a few years.

But here's your chance to make your voice heard - who knows, the local theatre groups all read this blog - maybe they'll like your suggestion and add it to their upcoming season! Your vote might change local theatre!

So vote now!
