While reviewing What Makes a Man (WMAM), now playing at the Berkley Street Theatre, it's tempting to comment on what's not there, what could and should be there, rather than what is there. What is on display is a marvelous musical stage portrait of Charles Aznavour, the world renowned French singer/songwriter, actor and political activist/diplomat. A man of the world, he is capable of singing in five languages. One of the last surviving 'showmen,' he still is capable of filling the world's most prestigious concert halls. For example, a year ago he performed for the first time in 25 years at London's Royal Albert Hall. Demand was so great, a second concert was booked there for this past June.

After eighty-six years, the Grand Theater - home of The Road Company since 1976 - literally fell silent on May 14, 2010 when its roof collapsed, destroying the entire venue. This was a devastating tragedy for theater-goers throughout the Delaware Valley and, in particular, hit Southern New Jersey with significant impact - the 'home' that many actors, actresses, volunteers, and audiences once held close to their hearts, was gone. After evaluating the damage, it was discovered that approximately $250,000 would be needed, beyond the amount covered by insurance, to rebuild the Grand Theater, founded in 1924. Despite this daunting figure the ever-resilient Road Company family was determined to rebuild the theater and in doing so established the 'Make It Grand Again Campaign' fund.
