We continue our "Broadway News (in five minutes or less)" segment, have some more community theatre news, our "Editors Gone Wild" headline segment (which gets down right BIG this week), and, of course, tell you "What's New to Do!"
This weekâs Show of the Week comes to us from Judy Cullen, President of the Washington State Community Theatre Association. Judy tells us about the show âNational Pastimeâ.
