About The Sound on Stage

What people are saying about The Sound on Stage

"In the current 'Great Restructuring' of the post-pandemic Pacific Northwest arts landscape, Greg Heilman and The Sound on Stage have become an indispensable pillar of our theatrical ecosystem. Greg is more than a reviewer; he is a Theater Appraiser. He possesses the rare ability to look past the surface and identify exactly what is valuable and vital about a production, regardless of its scale. His commitment to highlighting the excellence within the Puget Sound theater community provides a level of professional validation that is essential for the sustainability of the arts in our region."

— Mark Chenovick, Managing Artistic Director, SecondStory Repertory

“The Sound on Stage has been an incredible force for good in our theatre community. Not only do they attend and review hundreds of shows each year, they keep finding ways to uplift and celebrate theatre artists, companies, and projects. For so many of us, one of the most anticipated nights of the year is the Sound on Stage Awards, when we all gather to celebrate the work of our fellow theatre makers. Everyone is included, from small far-flung community theaters to the bigger LORT companies in town. Everyone is made to feel like they are all equally necessary and appreciated in this vibrant theatre multi-verse. We're so grateful for the infusion of energy the Sound on Stage has brought to the PNW theatre scene!”

— Molly Hall, Engagement Director, As If Theatre, Co-Founder, Circle of Fire Theatre
