admin — Tue, 26 Aug 2008 00:30:25 +0000

You’ve GOT to be curious….give in a check out this show that everyone is talking about!! Only 2 more weekends for theatre Q’s My Strange Nation, the Music of Susan Werner. Kevin Kirby of the Palo Alto Weekly called My Strange Nation “smart” and “feisty”. He goes on to say “My Strange Nation is a funny, well-assembled, sometimes touching look at Susan Werner’s songbook. Given that Werner is hardly a household name, it will be interesting to see if the show finds an audience. The performances and the material deserve it.” Check out the full review at _http://www.paloaltoonline.com/weekly/story.php?story_id=9300_ (http://www.paloaltoonline.com/weekly/story.php?story_id=9300) . Marianne Messina of the San Jose Metro says “…the show has personality, actually five big personalities, and their five-part harmonies, especially in the finale…carry the day”. Check out the full review at _http://www.metroactive.com/metro/08.20.08/stage-strangenation-0834.html_ (http://www.metroactive.com/metro/08.20.08/stage-strangenation-0834.html) .
