The New Conservatory Theatre Center presents the San Francisco premiere of The Story of My Life, a funny and deeply moving musical about lifelong best friends Alvin and Thomas. As time tests the bonds of their relationship, best-selling author Thomas calls on the only resource he has -- his own stories of Alvin -- to figure out where things went wrong. Nominated for four 2009 Drama Desk awards, including Outstanding Musical, The Story of My Life pays tribute to the power of friendship, the personal cost of success, and the choices we make at the turning points of our lives.

Ms. MacKay is charming, talented and vivacious; ably accompanied by her accompanist. Would like to see them expand their "wrong lyrics" number, and wish the program listed the composers/songs.Written on Aug 21 2009

Description
Celebrated by audiences and critics alike, vocalist and musical theatre performer, Meg Mackay, is a popular and distinguished member of the San Francisco Bay Area performing arts scene. Mackay has been a frequent performer in Bay Area cabarets and theaters for over fifteen years. A sophisticated actress with a distinctive voice, Meg has received an amazing eight Drama-Logue/Dean Goodman awards and seven Bay Area Theatre Critics Circle awards.
Her long-awaited debut album, So Many People was released in 1994. It was followed by her second CD, Legally Blonde in 1998. You can listen to RealAudio clips from both CDs by clicking on the titles.
A professional singer since the age of 12, Meg studied opera at Wichita State University and went on to perform with the Santa Fe Opera Company. While a student, she also began singing R&B and jazz in small clubs and hotels. These performances would pave the way for her arrival in San Francisco, where she quickly secured a featured role in San Francisco's long-running hit Beach Blanket Babylon.
Today Meg is best known for her diverse repertoire that includes both the familiar and the rarely-heard: American pop songs from the 30's and 40's, Broadway show tunes and original works. Her one-woman cabaret show has been well-received in New York, Philadelphia, Chicago and Los Angeles and at San Francisco's famous showcase, the Plush Room. Her accompanist is her long-time collaborator (and husband), Billy Philadelphia.
Mackay's versatility as a performer is further demonstrated by her shining list of musical performance credits. Following Beach Blanket Babylon, she toured for two years (and played two roles) with the National Touring Company of the Tony award-winning play, Torch Song Trilogy. Back home, her more recent credits include performances with the Marin Symphony, Putting It Together, She Loves Me and The World Goes 'Round at TheatreWorks in Palo Alto, A Karen Carpenter Christmas at the Marsh in San Francisco, two Stephen Sondheim revues at Marin Theatre Company, the original company of the award-winning, And What, Give Up Show Biz?" and both the San Francisco and Los Angeles companies of Stardust. Most recently she played the title roles in both the Mountain Play's production of Hello, Dolly! and 42nd Street Moon's Call Me Madam.
