    I Love You, You're Perfect, Now Change Street Theatre I Love You, You're Perfect, Now Change Presented by Street Theatre Company at Street Theatre February 2-February 12, 2012 This celebration of the mating game takes on the truths and myths behind that contemporary conundrum know as "the relationship." This hilarious revue pays tribute to those who have loved and lost, to those who have fallen on their face at the portal of romance, to those who have dared to ask, "Say, what are you doing Saturday night?" It’s everything you have ever secretly thought about dating, romance, marriage, lovers, husbands, wives and in-laws, but were afraid...

Peter Townshend’s tale of a young boy’s journey from pain to triumph is a night of rock and roll musical theatre not to be missed.

    03/23/12- 04/15/12	AVENUE Q Street Theatre AVENUE Q Presented by Street Theatre Company at Street Theatre March 23-April 15, 2012 Winner of the TONY® “TRIPLE CROWN” for BEST MUSICAL, BEST SCORE and BEST BOOK, AVENUE Q is part flesh, part felt and packed with heart.

    05/01/12- 07/31/12	PARALLEL LIVES Street Theatre PARALLEL LIVES Presented by Street Theatre Company at Street Theatre May 1-July 31, 2012 In the opening scene, two Supreme Beings plan the beginning of the world with the relish of two slightly sadistic suburban wives decorating a living room. Once they've decided on the color scheme of the races, a little concerned that white people will feel slighted being such a boring color, they create sex and the sexes. Afraid women will have too many advantages, the Beings decide to make childbirth painful and to give men enormous egos as compensation. From this moment, the audience is...
    05/04/12- 05/26/12	THE LAST FIVE YEARS Street Theatre THE LAST FIVE YEARS Presented by Street Theatre Company at Street Theatre May 4-May 26, 2012 A contemporary song-cycle musical that ingeniously chronicles the five year life of a marriage, from meeting to break-up... or from break-up to meeting, depending on how you look at it. The Last Five Years is an intensely personal look at the relationship between a writer and an actress told from both points of view.
    06/08/12- 06/24/12	SAY GOODNIGHT, GRACIE Street Theatre SAY GOODNIGHT, GRACIE Presented by Street Theatre Company at Street Theatre June 8-June 24, 2012 Tom Wolfe described the 1970s as the “Me Decade.” In the aftermath of the 1960s sexual revolution, the 70s brought an increase in pre-marital sex, divorce rates and single parent households. This turbulent era is captured in this play about a generation at a turning point in 1976. Five 28-year-olds planning to attend their 10-year high school reunion gather in an East Village, New York City, apartment to discuss their dreams, insecurities and pasts. As they while away the hours...

This cabaret-style show will make you laugh ‘til it hurts with its outrageous look at the morbid and the macabre.

Their struggles to find each other over the ensuing years ends in tragedy for her and a fighting chance for the child he never knew he had.

      I am a recent graduate of the Boston Conservatory with a degree in Voice Performance. I was blown away by how the cast made this story come alive through the detailed character development, commitment to fabulous choreography and ABOVE ALL ELSE excellent singing. Best production that I have seen in a long time and I have friends in National Tours and on Broadway. I was moved to tears at several points and would recommend this show to ANYONE. Great work, can't wait to see it again! Collapse
