This was a nice piece published by Roy Berko, a local reviewer:
TIMES THEATRE TRIBUTES--2004

Times--Olmsted-Fairview Times
Greater Cleveland is blessed with a vital theatre scene. It is the purpose
of the TIMES THEATRE TRIBUTES to recognize those theatrical experiences that, in
the mind of this reviewer, were excellent.
No attempt is made to name the best in each classification. Actors are not
separated by gender or leading or supporting roles. It is also recognized
that I did not see all of the productions in the area, so only shows that I
reviewed were considered. Selections are limited to locally produced
performances, so none of the professional touring
shows are recognized, though actors, directors and technicians who were imported
by local theatres were considered.
If you would like to read any of my reviews for the year, please go to
www.royberko.info, enter the web-page and click on “2004 Reviews.”
Thanks to the following for making the 2004 theatre scene in the Cleveland area
vital and exciting.
