These are two shows that our patrons ask to see most. We wanted to offer them both in celebration of the 60th season.

I have had a passion for football since junior high.

We really do consider ourselves caretakers of the organization and of a tradition. Almost everyone who works here was a child patron, or grew up in the choruses. We're all proud to be a part of that. We don't say, 'What can I do with my theater?' It's really about how can we leave it in good shape for the next generation.

This show gives us a chance to revisit the theater's past while giving our patrons something they've never seen before.

When I was growing up as a kid I was playing football or baseball or something else in the back yard, ... I always dreamed of becoming a National Football League player.

I was two small to be a lineman and to slow to be skills position player, some players like me just develop their skills a little bit later in life.

San Diegans are people who like outdoor entertainment. We go to the zoo, the park, the theater. Lifestyle's important to people here, and going to Starlight is part of that equation.

It's just the funniest show I've seen on Broadway in years. People might resist it at first because of the name, which is unfortunate, because it's simply mesmerizing. Ask my mother. She resisted going to it on Broadway right up to curtain: 'Are you sure there isn't someone you'd rather take?' Now if you ask her, she'll tell you it's her favorite show.

I don't have much time. I'm not lying.
