Jack Burns of the Westside Theatre Foundation dedicates the stage of the historic Strand Theatre as the William “Buddy” Hallberg Memorial Stage on Friday night at the opening of the first play to be performed at the renovated theater, “I Love You, You’re Perfect, Now Change.” Hallberg, a theater veteran of more than 50 years as an actor, director and coach, died on April 27 at age 75. Burns said he was honored to have worked with Hallberg over the years and that the Westside Theatre Foundation would not be where it is today without him.
