History of Theatre

This is a list of every full-length production I can recall seeing. It is ordered chronologically because that is the easiest way to keep it up to date.

I guess it all started with Peter Pan. I’m pretty sure my uncle had no idea what the effect of taking me to that show would be. I’m pretty sure that I didn’t either.

(if you happen to remember one that I have forgotten please let me know. Also, please share any funny memories you might have)
