I spend a bit of my spare time as an actor in community theater, and have often found the articles on plays I'm in to be lacking. So, I've joined up with WikiProject Theatre to help improve things a bit.

Been updating sporadically, as the mood strikes, most recently Irish Traditional musicians. Dereksmootz (talk) 01:02, 24 October 2010 (UTC)
