ZVOKUBVA MUNYAYA INO:

Last year, when The Actors' Group (TAG) applied to Samuel French, the world's leading licensor of plays and musicals, to produce Neil Simon's “Brighton Beach Memoirs” at the Brad Power Theatre in Honolulu, they had no idea how relevant the show would become in March, 2022.
I don't know what it's like to be a professional baseball player, but my former boyfriend, Bryan Clutterbuck, had the same dream, and wound up becoming the pitcher for the Milwaukee Brewers.
Since my old boyfriend was part of the Nederlander family, I was fortunate to have opportunities to see plays in many different venues, and the intimate settings were always my favorite.
