BECKY’S
NEW CAR
May 9 – June 3, 2012
By
Steven Dietz
South Florida Premiere
A smart, comic cruise through the perils of middle-aged
longing and regret, Becky’s New
Car, is a laugh-out-loud amusement park
ride where the comedy spins out of control like a
bumper car. In this new play, playwright Steven Dietz
maps out a very funny and touching trip about “the
life not taken”. Becky is married in her 40’s
and working at a car dealership, when one night, by
chance, she’s offered an opportunity to step
into another life, and takes it. This fresh, new,
delightful and devious comedy is about life, love,
marriage, and the detours we make on our way to happiness.
“...that perfect blend of hilarious comedy and
substantial weight, a story about choices and consequences
that could believably happen to anyone.” -

The
Last Five Years
December 5 - 30, 2012
By Jason Robert Brown
The Last Five Years
is a contemporary song-cycle musical that ingeniously
chronicles the five year life of a marriage, from
meeting to break-up... or from break-up to meeting,
depending on how you look at it. The story, told
in the exuberant and heart-rending songs of award-winning
composer Jason Robert Brown, explores the story
of a five-year marriage between Jamie Wellerstein,
a rising novelist, and Cathy Hyatt, a struggling
actress, from intense love to a final, painful
separation. However, there’s an intriguing
twist: Jamie lives the five years from beginning
to end, while Cathy lives the five years backward,
from end to beginning. Based on the author’s
personal story, this musical from the composer
of Songs From A New World,
will be an artistic treat for South Florida audiences.
"Unpredictably
heartfelt insights, energized by a seductive,
rhythmic drive"

Desert Cities

By Jon Robin Baitz
Other
Desert Cities is the funny and searing
play by Jon Robin Baitz, the creator of TV’s
Brothers & Sisters, that received universal
acclaim in its off-Broadway debut at Lincoln Center
Theater and is currently playing on Broadway.
In Other Desert Cities,

home after a six year absence to celebrate Christmas
in Palm Springs with her parents, former members
of the Reagan inner circle, her brother and her

family's history, the holiday reunion is thrown
into turmoil as the Wyeths struggle to come to
terms with their past. Touted as "The Best
New Play on Broadway!" by The New York Times,

In
The Heights
March 6 - April 7, 2013
Music and lyrics by Lin-Manuel Miranda and book
by Quiara Alegia Hudes.
Winner of four 2008 Tony Awards® including
Best Musical, In The Heights
is a sensational show about chasing your dreams
and finding your true home. Billed as the next
chapter in the classic American story on stage,
In the Heights tells
the universal story of a vibrant community in
Manhattan's Washington Heights – a place
where the coffee from the corner bodega is light
and sweet, the windows are always open, and the
breeze carries the rhythm of three generations
of music. It's a community on the brink of change,
full of hopes, dreams and pressures, where the
biggest struggles can be deciding which traditions
you take with you, and which ones you leave behind.
Written by Lin-Manuel Miranda, this hip musical
will win audiences over with its sweet story and
hot tunes.
"A groundbreaking 21st Century musical. This
extraordinary blend of old and new pushes the
sound of Broadway even deeper into fresh territory.
It's one of the most satisfying musicals in years."

The
Fox On The Fairway
May 8 - June 2, 2013
By Ken Ludwig
The
Fox On The Fairway is a charming screwball adventure
about love, life, and man's eternal love affair
with ... golf. Written by Ken Ludwig (Lend
Me a Tenor, Moon Over Buffalo),
the author hits a hole-in-one with his tribute
to the great English farces of the 1930s and
1940s. Two rival country clubs, Quail Valley
and Crouching Squirrel, prepare for their annual
grudge match. A massive private wager is made
between the two CEOs just before the best player
switches teams. Filled with mistaken romance,
dreadful attire, emotional mulligans and silly
shenanigans, The Fox On The Fairway
is a “tour-de-course” of rapid-fire
chip shots and frenzied miscommunications.
"A grand slam...a joy to behold!"
- Washington City Paper |
