The South Florida Theatre League Invites Theatres & Patrons to
Get in Bed with the Arts
The South Florida Theatre League is building a bed! Yes, a bed. Its cover will be a map listing all South Florida theatres; its bed skirt will contain the logos of the League’s member theatres; its head board will read Get in Bed with the Arts; and its footboard will feature the South Florida Theatre League logo and website address.

The goal of the League’s Get in Bed with the Arts campaign, which will run in conjunction with WLRN’s Summer Theatre Fest program, is to raise awareness of the theatrical arts in the South Florida community.
The bed will make its debut at the 37th annual Carbonell Awards ceremony on April 1st at the Broward Center for the Arts, and will lead the way to the South Florida Theatre League sponsored after party/celebration; its final appearance will be as a participant in the annual Coconut Grove Bed Race on Labor Day weekend.
The bed will ‘visit’ League member theatres during Theatre Fest (June 1st through August 31st) on Thursday evenings (performance days only). Theatre patrons will be invited to participate in the fun – doing interviews, or having their photos taken on or next to the bed. The interviews and photos will be posted on the South Florida Theatre League’s website (www.southfloridatheatre.com/).
The bed was designed, built, and generously subsidized by Fort Lauderdale’s Bombshell Productions. TheatreMania is also a sponsor.
Many of the League’s member theatres are already on board (or in bed!) with the project. Some of the participating theatres are:
Actors Playhouse –
Adrienne Arsht Center – Slava’s Snowshow (July 31 – August 25)
Broadway Musical Theatre – Shrek the Musical (June 1 – 9)
FIU/Alternative Theatre Festival – A Hundred Thousand Years
Gable Stage – Cock (May 18– June 16)
The Lake Worth Playhouse – In the Heights (July 11-28)
Mad Cat Theatre Company – Blow Me (August 15 – September 1)
Sol Children Theatre – Wind in the Willows (August 9 – 25)
A complete list of participating theatres, their productions, and run dates will be announced in the near future.
The South Florida Theatre League is an alliance of theatrical organizations and professionals dedicated to nurturing, promoting, and advocating for the growth and prestige of the South Florida theatre industry.
