"Rokugatsu no Bitaa Orenji" - Website updates
I've been checking Shige's butai's website everyday since it was opened, always hoping for new posts. Finally it seems they're updating it, the staff blog started and they added a page for the cast (with pics!) and introduction of the characters.
I made a new tag for the butai, click on BUTAI on the right tag-list to read everything about this work with Shige ^^
I translated the info, this post will contain all the posts I will translate from the Butai's official website,
