by Kyle Christopher West - March 25, 2017
Between their two lofty resumes, Broadway husband-and-wife duo Amy Spanger and Brian Shepard have a grand total of 15 Broadway credits to their names.

by Audrey Morabito - March 29, 2017
'Sometimes the greatest show on Earth isn't the one you came to see". Mister Major and the Minor Wife is a dynamic and haunting original one-act play written by senior Theatre TCU student Devin Berg and directed by senior Theatre TCU student Hannah Wright. A tragic tale of stifling imagination, deep repression, isolation, and twisted forms of love, this play will take hold of your heartstrings and refuse to let go even after the curtain falls in close..

5) BWW Review: MASTER CLASS at Brick Road Theatre
by Sarah Comley Caldwell - March 25, 2017
'Domination. Collaboration. Assets. Know your limitations. Never move your hand, unless your heart follows it. Just listen. Everything is in the music.' I first read these words in the Terrence McNally play when I was a vocal performance major in college, experiencing a vocal master class weekly as part of my studies.

10) BWW Review: IT SHOULDA BEEN YOU at Uptown Players
by Kyle Christopher West - March 29, 2017
When IT SHOULDA BEEN YOU opened on Broadway in April of 2015, it didn't quite get the reception the producers intended, closing just shy of three months later and receiving zero Tony Awards nominations.
