June is bustin' out all over!

Bursting with pride this month are the performers, directors, playwrights, and other theatre artists who celebrate their birthdays on these summer nights. Our Broadway glories are fresh, alive, gay, and young—and just looney to sing June's love song! 

And for those of you wondering if a pleasant life is on the horizon, let this month's horoscopes tell you if you'll be spoken of so highly. It's Gemini and Cancer season!
