Community Theater Green Room Discussion Board: Favorite Roles

Message

   I found an old thread on favorite roles, but thought it might be fun to revisit the topic since that one was several years old.
So, what are your favorite roles or favorite shows for directors?  What are your dream roles that you haven't yet had the opportunity to play?
