Interview: Paul Michael Valley Talks AS YOU LIKE IT and Why 'All The World's a Stage.'
by R. Scott Reedy - Jul 28, 2025
Actor Paul Michael Valley is nothing if not versatile. In his almost 40-year career, the Whitefish, Wisconsin, native has earned a Tony nomination – in his Broadway debut, for playing Thomas Jefferson in the 1997 Roundabout Theatre Company revival of the musical “1776.”

BWW Review: BOOM at Wellesley Repertory Theatre
by Andrew Child - Jan 25, 2020
Peter Sinn Nachtrieb's boom was the most produced American play of 2010. 10 years later, Wellesley Repertory Theatre has brought it back, directed by artistic director, Marta Rainer, armed with the proverbial program note toting its enduring relevance. In a way, it seems to wittily comment on the 'New Play' format that still plagues us. It gives us the Annie Baker-esque satisfaction of seeing things really happen on stage. Right at top of show, one character bangs on a timpani. We see the drum reverberate and hear the sound ringing off of the walls. Another character immediately tells her scene partner to take his shirt off. We watch him do so, and then we see him fumble to awkwardly remove his jeans, turning them inside-out in the process. Is that a real fire extinguisher? Is that a real first-aid kit? Cool.
