Gary Marachek in Moonlight and Magnolias, the season
opener at Actor’s Playhouse in Coral Gables |
“Actors’ Playhouse is presenting its most ambitious season
in 18 years in 2006-2007. Regarded by the patrons and the critics as the
premiere producer of large-scale musicals in South Florida, we are very excited
to produce the new staged musical of Irving Berlin’s White Christmas as
well as Harvey Fierstein and Jerry Herman’s La Cage Aux Folles. We choose
our programming based on our patrons expectations of our company and our box
office success. Although producing large musicals is a financial challenge, we
find that it is a great way to develop a loyal and supportive audience among our
diverse South Florida community of residents and visitors. Other small musical
reviews like the new Off-Broadway sensation, I Love You Because, and Tom
Lehrer’s Tom Foolery, will appeal to both the young and the baby
boomer generations. We are most excited to produce loyal playwright Susan
Westfall’s, The Boy From Russia and the comedy hit, Moonlight
and Magnolias, rounding out the season. Working together with the marketing
team, the Board of Directors, and from audience surveys, we feel we are on the
right track to present the highest caliber of professional theatre of new works
and old favorites to our community.”

Picking a season is always a tricky thing. You can go “old
school” and choose a drama, a comedy, a musical, throw in a classic, and call it
a day. Or an artistic director can point a light on some aspect of our society
and hope that audiences discover themselves in the work he produces. Our shows
have something in common. They are plays with characters that have to confront
aspects of their lives in order to move forward with their very existence.
Whether it's a man so afraid of connecting with people that he never leaves his
map store, or two young boys discovering the truth about themselves in each
other's arms, our season is more about personal confrontation than the
confrontation that occurs between characters. We challenge our audiences to
make the connection between art and the lives we live.

This third season
is our most challenging yet. We have the luxury of producing a beautiful
already published work called Two Rooms
by Lee Blessing, a World Premiere by Juan C. Sanchez called
Red Tide and we are adapting Cyrano
ourselves to present this summer. I think the
main theme in each of these pieces is passion. We as a company have this
passion to continue foraging ahead in the face of adversity (funding,
scheduling, budgets) and each of these plays depicts people who are willing to
take risks as well, because of how passionately they believe what they are
doing. Hopefully, our third season will bring us even more stability (it is our
first full year at NSU in Broward) and a committed audience willing to take
risks with us. We have nothing to lose, and are willing to put ourselves on the
line, because we love what we do.

“After
being chosen New Times “Best Theatre in Broward and The Palm Beaches for
2006” and presenting a season of cutting edge dramas and a hit comedy (Fabulation),
how do we at The Public Theatre follow up? By broadening our audience, by
adding some more comedy—and even a musical—to the mix and, most importantly, by
not losing the edge that has won us the loyalty of those who know and love us.
To that end, we bring you our 18th anniversary season: three
comedies, one drama and, yes, a musical—all five of which will make you laugh,
cry and think.

“As Sol Theatre moves into its sixth
season, we are again redefining who we are, and what kind of impact we can have
on our community. We no longer plan ‘seasons’ per se, as we don't have
subscribers. We have always sought to offer something out of the ordinary in
both programming and the over all theatre experience. Art should be continually
redefining itself, utilizing both the past, present and future as we as a
society are picking up more and more steam as a technologically complex and
often bored culture. Beginning now, we are a wide-open venue, only positive
about the show that is in rehearsal, with only a vague inkling about what the
future may bring. Brad Fraser's Unidentified Human Remains and the True
Nature of Love will kick off our sixth year of operation, and with it we
will land squarely back on the launch pad I originally intended with
Sol—avant-garde, risky theatre that dares to go to the edge. Our motto firmly
back in place, we once again ask our audience, ‘How far are you willing to go?’”
—Robert Hooker, Producer/Artistic Director

The Women’s Theatre Project is the only professional

written and performed exclusively by women. Our current season is our most
ambitious yet, six productions representing the vibrancy and incredible depth of
the female voice. The plays chosen (by myself and our artistic steering
committee) continue to illustrate our choices of breaking with stereotypical
depictions of women, as well as spanning the different generations and races,
and plays whose styles vary wildly. As the artistic director of TWTP, I am most
proud of the opportunity to be able to create compelling theatrical work that I
hope becomes a part of our literature and the fabric of our unique culture.

“While it's natural to want Florida Stage's 20th

Palm Beach Dramaworks
presents timeless classic and contemporary plays that are thought-provoking and
engaging, and maintain their relevance in today's society. We believe in the
transformative power of live theatre, that
can have a dramatic impact, and influence and inspire audiences. Often, we
select plays that ask questions, but do not provide definitive answers or
express our own personal views. However, the primary characteristic of all
our work, is the humanity that is always evident. Arthur
Miller's The Price, resonates
with audiences because it is a play that deals with everyday people in
a situation that is common in most lives; estranged relationships, fueled by
differing perceptions of past events. The Southeastern Florida premiere of Trying,
by Joanna Glass, is based on a true story. At a time when internationally known
Judge Frances Biddle is struggling with his
failing health and the inevitably of his age, a
young secretary comes into his life. The story illustrates how two strangers,
at two dramatically different places in their lives, can unexpectedly and
forever influence each other. Betrayal by Harold Pinter, examines just
that...betrayal. In a series of contiguous scenes, the play moves backward in
time, from the end of an affair to its beginning, throwing into relief the
little lies and oblique remarks which in this time-reverse, reveal more than
direct statements or overt actions, ever could. Finally, John Olive's The
Voice Of The Prairie, a play which Dramaworks
has selected for its stylistic uniqueness; a play that will showcase three local
artists, all playing multiple roles; collectively telling a story of two special
friends, and a man's desperate search to find the other, after she mysteriously
vanished many years ago.
—Bill Hayes, Producing Artistic Director
The Price by Arthur Miller, Nov. 3 -Dec. 3
Confrontation between two estranged brothers who meet to dispose of their dead
parents property.
Trying by Joanna Glass, Jan. 5 -Feb. 4
A Canadian prairie girl goes to Washington D.C. to work for a crusty old judge.
