CONTESTS

ONSTAGE THIS WEEK!
A five star system will be utilized in order to differentiate between the various levels of success: artistry and entertainment value. This system is not directly numeric, however. That is, a 4 rated show isn't necessarily twice as good as a 2 rated show; neither is a 4 rated show a "B" or an 80%.
◊◊◊◊◊ - The absolute best theatre has to offer! Missing this should not be an option!
◊◊◊◊ - This is excellent theatre! Do not miss this show!
