Showtune is Spotlight Theatre's first foray into world of musical theatre. Director Pat Payne was honored with the 2009 Camera's Eye Theater Award for Best Direction of a Musical for the Woof! Theatre production of "I Love You, You're Perfect, Now Change." He has chosen Deb Curtis, Kris Graves, Melinda Catherine - Gross, Keith Hershman, Michael Nicosia and Lee Ann Scherlong to bring Jerry Herman's songs to life.
