The Signature is of, by, and for a small group of semi-talented amateurs who get paid a lot and have a lot of fun at our (meaning taxpayers') expense.<br /><br />The Signature's productions are mostly LGBT camp, though the sheeple are supposed to take the Signature seriously.<br /><br />One thing this blog neglected to state is the Signature's controlling group has repeatedly threatened to move the Signature out of Arlington if Arlington County didn't meet the Signature's demands. Rather than let the Signature move elsewhere the County caved in to the Signature's outrageous demands, like paying the Signature's utilities for the next 19 years.<br /><br />Again, the Signature is not to be taken seriuously, it's glorified dinner theater at best.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-963208964879498427.post-40518340414132116272015-01-04T10:37:44.517-05:002015-01-04T10:37:44.517-05:00How about a revival of "Annie" with Stev...How about a revival of "Annie" with Steven Sondheim as Daddy Warbucks?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-963208964879498427.post-68006724146102425502015-01-03T11:32:40.843-05:002015-01-03T11:32:40.843-05:00"Diner" is about as dated as "Flowe..."Diner" is about as dated as "Flower Drum Song", which was so bad even the politically correct revival a decade ago was panned for stereotyping Asians.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-963208964879498427.post-11996709498795939012015-01-03T11:20:02.592-05:002015-01-03T11:20:02.592-05:00So I gues this means the Devine Miss D. goes on ac...So I gues this means the Devine Miss D. goes on acting out and the Signature goes on producing experimental flops for the next two decades...subsidized by us.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-963208964879498427.post-67227112736344448852015-01-03T11:14:48.554-05:002015-01-03T11:14:48.554-05:00Am I supposed to be impressed by a bunch of actors...Am I supposed to be impressed by a bunch of actors playing post-prep school little s---s from the western Baltimore suburbs acting out their teenage angst when they are 20-something, with apologies for their behavior narrated by an urban hipster who is probably into much worse behavior (out of control pub crawls)?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-963208964879498427.post-29128133230669153432015-01-03T11:05:28.612-05:002015-01-03T11:05:28.612-05:00I again ask...where are the Arlington Republican P...I again ask...where are the Arlington Republican Party and Arlington County Taxpayer's Association when these taxpayer rip offs occur?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-963208964879498427.post-46223670737260192472015-01-02T23:57:25.154-05:002015-01-02T23:57:25.154-05:00"Diner" was about Urban Hipsters before ..."Diner" was about Urban Hipsters before Urban Hipsters were cool.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-963208964879498427.post-87408916135629952542015-01-02T23:45:51.864-05:002015-01-02T23:45:51.864-05:00yes, signature is a performing arts country club.....yes, signature is a performing arts country club...to be sheeple-funded from now on.another former Signature volunteernoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-963208964879498427.post-17098319268927088792015-01-02T23:41:30.094-05:002015-01-02T23:41:30.094-05:00How about the Signature staging an original rock a...How about the Signature staging an original rock and roll musical titled "Donna, Donna, Our Prima Donna"?<br /><br />Staring Donna Migliaccio<br />Written by Donna Migliaccio<br />Music by Donna Migliaccio<br />Lyrics by Donna Migliaccio<br />Produced by Donna Migliaccio<br />Directed by Donna Migliaccio<br />Costumes by Donna Migliaccio<br />Lighting by Donna Migliaccioformer Signature volunteernoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-963208964879498427.post-16093510878111109072015-01-02T23:02:28.020-05:002015-01-02T23:02:28.020-05:00Hillary got into Wellesley based on Republican Fam...Hillary got into Wellesley based on Republican Family Values.<br /><br />Signature is of, by, and for, Club Hedo values.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-963208964879498427.post-69602850378768570382015-01-02T23:00:28.933-05:002015-01-02T23:00:28.933-05:00Urban Village Idiots?
