Primal Forces
Second Season promises
Two Entertaining & Thought-Provoking Productions

Sunset Baby: “[A] smart and bracing new play about two generations of urban outlaws struggling to stay afloat in the lower depths.” – New York Times

Redwood Curtain: “… a little gem that has a pretty satisfying mystery at its center…you get to absorb Lanford Wilson’s terrific dialogue, and appreciate how and when he reveals precisely what we need to know in the natural flow of the narrative.” – MichiganLive

Ft. Lauderdale, FL , October 21, 2014:

Primal Forces Productions has chosen two entertaining and thought provoking pieces for its second season. The young company’s successful production of David Mamet’s The Anarchist in March of 2014 has encouraged producer Keith Garsson to continue its mission to “explore the impact of the tumultuous 1960s on today’s generation.” Both plays will be presented at Andrews Living Arts in Ft. Lauderdale.

SunsetWebSiteDominique Morisseau’s Sunset Baby, which premiered Off-Broadway in November 2013 will begin previews on November 29th, open on December 5th, and run through December 21st. John Archie will star as a former revolutionary looking to connect with his daughter (Makeba Pace) in present-day Brooklyn. “He finds that the apple doesn’t fall far from the tree,” explains Garsson.

Redwood_WebsiteLanford Wilson’s Redwood Curtain stunned Broadway audiences in 1992 with its unique spin on a Vietnam veteran (Ethan Henry) and the mysterious young Asian woman (Amarie Lee) who tracks him down in the forests of Northern California exasperating her guardian (Jacqueline Laggy.) Redwood Curtain will begin previews on April 4th, 2015, open on April 10th, and runs through April 26th.

“The turbulent 60s provides a wealth of nostalgia and entertainment value to audiences looking for drama with a lot of meat. However, even if you weren’t there, you will be fascinated and enthralled by how different a country we were less than 50 years ago,” says Garsson.

Tickets for Sunset Baby and Redwood Curtain are $25 (tickets for preview performances are $20) and can be purchased on line at www.primalforcesproductions.com, or by phone at 866-811-4111. Andrews Living Arts Studio is located at 23 NW Fifth Street in Fort Lauderdale.

Primal Forces Productions is offering complimentary tickets to both Sunset Baby and Redwood Curtain to members of Actors Equity, SAG, AFTRA, the South Florida Theatre League, and students with valid ID. (Limit of four tickets per order). For more information about this offer, contact primalforcesproductions@gmail.com .

The Boca Raton Theatre Guild
presents
Everyday Rapture
Rapture_Website
The Broadway and Off-Broadway hit comes to Boca Raton!

“It easily qualifies as one of the year’s most extravagantly
entertaining new musicals…” Ben Brantley ~ The New York Times

October, 2014 – Boca Raton, FL:
The Boca Raton Theatre Guild was looking for something unique as a follow-up to the company’s recent successful productions of Pippin and Chicago: “Something modern – with music that would appeal to all generations,” says producer Keith Garsson. “And when Everyday Rapture opened on Broadway in 2010 to outstanding reviews and sold-out performances it just stuck in my mind. It’s funny, timely and unlike anything you’ve seen before.” Everyday Rapture will have its South Florida premiere when it previews at the Willow Theatre in Sugar Sand Park on November 7th and opens the following night. It will run through November 23rd.

The show, which has been called a ‘stage memoir disguised as fiction’, tells the story of a young woman’s psycho-spiritual-sexual journey down the rocky path that separates her mostly Mennonite past from her mostly Manhattan future – from the cornfields of Kansas to the clover fields of New York (with a disturbing detour through YouTube!). Everyday Rapture entwines spirituality and show biz.  It follows a young woman as she grows from a Mennonite to a Manhattanite, with many psychological and spiritual challenges on the way.  Gay men, Judy Garland and two preachers named Fred all form major parts of the tapestry woven into the play. Everyday Rapture features songs by numerous singers and songwriters including Johnny Mercer, David Byrne, George Harrison, Roberta Flack, Judy Garland, Sharon Jones & The Dap Kings, and even Mr. Rogers.

Genie's headshot“I’m delighted to be directing the Southeast premiere of this unique musical story,” says Genie Croft. “The lead character is an outsider from Topeka – raised as a Mennonite – who follows her dreams to New York, and creates a career as a Broadway actress.  The emotional, humorous, and spiritual arc of the musical is an exciting contrast of two journeys of discovery that cleverly show how divided personalities can lead to some of the most fascinating people out there.”

Musical director Caryl Fantel, who has credits from Off-Broadway to regional Caryl Fantel Color Head Shot 2014 Print Versiontheatres and concert halls throughout South Florida and around the United States is equally enthusiastic about the production:
“I’m excited to work on it because there’s truly something for everyone, running the gamut of musical styles from standards to musical theatre, funk, and rock. We have a top-notch ensemble of vocalists and a rocking band in place,” she continues, “And I can’t wait to share this unique and entertaining piece of theatre.”

jodie headshot 1 biggerSays lead actress Jodie Langel: “The heart of this show lies in the story of this incredible girl, her desire to be spiritually and morally correct – while dreaming of Broadway, and to do what she loves most – be center stage singing her heart out.”

Joining Langel on the Willow stage will be Ann Marie Olson, Leah Sessa, and Ben Solmor (who is also serving as the show’s choreographer.)

Tickets for Everyday Rapture are on sale now and can be purchased by calling 561-347-3948. Performances are on Thursday, Friday, and Saturday at 8 pm, and Saturday and Sunday at 2 pm. Tickets are on sale now, and may be purchased at the Willow Theatre Box Office at 561-347-3948.  The Willow Theatre is located at 300 S. Military Trail, Boca Raton, 33486 (in the heart of Sugar Sand Park, just south of Palmetto Park Road).

Pigs Do Fly Productions will hold two readings of humorous short plays at Coral Gables’ Books & Books on January 25th and February 1st.

The award-winning company commissioned top South Florida playwrights Michael McKeever and Michael Leeds to write for them, and their plays are among those scheduled to be read.

And several months ago Pigs Do Fly Productions also put out a call to playwrights from across the United States for submissions of 10-minute contemporary comedies written to highlight “vibrant, healthy people over 50 who are doing interesting things with their lives”. Over 300 plays were submitted and a committee of 6 took on the task of reading and rating each one.  The plays that will be read were rated the highest of the lot, and audiences will be asked for their input and their opinions at the end of each reading. The top five selections, along with the plays by McKeever and Leeds will form Pigs Do Fly’s next production, scheduled to take place in May at Andrews Living Arts.

They sing the hit songs of songwriter and saxophonist Jordan, whose new slant on jazz paved the way for rock and roll in the 1950s. Five Guys Named Moe is ‘an exhilarating, all-embracing theatrical experience, complete with some uproarious audience participation that’ll have spectators leaping out of their seats to join the celebration!’

Cohan – capturing in 95 fast-moving minutes the essence of the man, his music, and the fabulous era of show business he came up in.  A dazzling showcase for a song-and-dance man with flair. Peterson, who has received rave reviews everywhere he has performed this show, channels a swift, colorful portrayal of this most fiercely American musical figure. Peterson, played the Emcee in a recent Broadway revival of Cabaret, starred in Stage Door’s production of Song Man Dance Man two years ago.

One of John van Druten’s greatest comedy successes, Bell, Book, and Candle has been called “…completely enchanting—a wonderfully suave and impish fantasy.” (New York Times).

So when a muddy and very dirty Princess Jasmine catches the Prince’s eye unexpectedly, the Queen insists she pass the “pea under the mattress” test to prove she really is a princess. Only it’s not one thin mattress we’re talking about here, it’s thirteen mattresses, four feather comforters, and eight queen-size pillows! And not only that, but Jasmine wears ear muffs, a night mask, and is very, very tired! Does Jasmine pass the extremely unfair princess test? A comic jester, a rather confused king and a pompous announcer add to the merriment.

DroodThis wildly warm-hearted theatrical experience kicks off when the Music Hall Royale (a hilariously loony Victorian musical troupe) “puts on” its flamboyant rendition of an unfinished Dickens mystery. The story itself deals with John Jasper, a Jekyll-and-Hyde choirmaster who is quite madly in love with his music student, the fair Miss Rosa Bud. Now, Miss Bud is, in turn, engaged to Jasper’s nephew, young Edwin Drood. Our title character disappears mysteriously one stormy Christmas Eve – but has Edwin Drood been murdered? And if so, then whodunnit?

As they invite us into their worlds, we see we are in familiar territory. Here are generations of women, learning, risking, and loving in all its complicated forms. We witness their journey through deserts of discovery, moving with audacity towards that female dance of freedom on the other side of the sea, which is no longer there. A joyous theatrical event filled with dance, tambourines, and the ancient sounds of the shofar. A talkback with the author will take place after the production.

to present
Richard O’Brien’s
The Rocky Horror Show
October 16 – November 1

Let’s Do the Time Warp Again!

September 26, 2014, Delray Beach, Florida:

Halloween is just around the corner, and who better to celebrate with than the denizens of Dr. Frank N. Furter’s home-sweet-castle in Richard O’Brien’s beloved cult classic, The Rocky Horror Show. And Entr’Acte Theatrix is inviting audiences to come do the Time Warp again… when they present ‘Rocky’ at the Crest Theatre at the Delray Beach Center for the Arts from October 16th through November 1st.

The Rocky Horror Show is an outrageous assemblage of – and humorous tribute to – the most stereotypical science fiction and horror movies, Marvel comics, Frankie Avalon/Annette Funicello outings and rock ‘n’ roll of every vintage. The play (upon which the classic film The Rocky Horror Picture Show is based) has grown from an experimental production originally produced in a small London theatre in June 1973, to a cult phenomenon with fans world-wide. The musical tells the story of a newly engaged couple who, when caught in a storm, find refuge in the home of a decidedly unusual scientist who is madly working towards unveiling his latest and greatest creation.

Rocky is also the quintessential audience participation show, and Entr’Acte will have what have come to be known as ‘survival kits’ available for purchase for those who want them.

This is the second time Entr’Acte Theatrix will present The Rocky Horror Show at the Delray Beach Center for the Arts’ Crest Theatre. Their 2012 production was so successful that when an encore presentation was suggested, it was a ‘no brainer’!

“When the discussion began to remount Rocky Horror with Entr’Acte Theatrix, I knew immediately I was onboard,” says director Kevin Black. “And thankfully (producer) Vicki Halmos asked me if I was interested…of course! Rocky is a show within its own class – not many out there like it,” he continues. “It’s one of those shows that, as a director, you can put your personal creative stamp on. To me, that’s the fun of it. So this time around we are producing Rocky Horror 2.0. Bigger. Bolder. Bawdier!”

Michaela Paige

Michaela Paige

Entr’Acte has scored several casting coups with this production. Michaela Paige, who was a top 12 finalist on the 2012 edition of NBC’s “The Voice” will play ‘The Usherette’. Paige’s bio is impressive. She has been performing since the age of 8, and since appearing on “The Voice” she has been featured in USA Today, Rolling Stone, Access Hollywood, and the iTunes Top 100 Chart. She is also the host of three radio shows on W4CY and W4WN Radio, currently ranked number one in South Florida and thirteenth in the world for internet radio.

The Soundtrack of an Era. He is a graduate of The American Musical and Dramatic Academy in Manhattan and has worked in numerous venues such as The Broward Center for the Performing Arts, The Duplex in NYC, and The Two River Theatre in NJ.

Other cast members include Dan Thagard (Rocky), Jenna Paige Gagliardo (Magenta), Greg Halmos (Riff Raff), Brielle Lysaght (Columbia), and Carlo-Rufino Sabusap (Dr. Scott).

Entr’acte Theatrix, is a not-for-profit, semi-professional, showcase company for young actors, providing performance opportunities for emerging theatre artists.

Broward Stage Door Theatre presents Joe DiPietro’s THE LAST ROMANCE – October 10 – November 23

        openingpage-2-1The-Last-Romance-logo                                            October 10 – November 23
September 24, 2014

Playwright Joe DiPietro has become increasingly adept at illustrating the fascinating dynamics of love and family. From his first Off-Broadway success, I Love You, You’re Perfect, Now Change, through his Tony Award-winning hit Memphis, DiPietro has examined many aspects of the human connection. In the Broward Stage Door Theatre’s upcoming production of The Last Romance, DiPietro explores a relationship between a man and a woman who just happen to be over the age of 65, and the family ties that bind, and pull. The play is a gentle and tender comedy that mixes a lot of humor with a little bit of heartbreak… and opera!

Director Arthur Whitelaw and Stage Door’s Artistic Director Derelle Bunn have cast Larry Bramble, Phyllis Spear, Sally Bondi, and James Parks in the production, which will open on October 10th, and run through November 23rd.

“The Last Romance is a warm, funny and insightful play about love after 65,” says Whitelaw. “I hope our audiences will leave the theatre with a smile on their faces and a tear in their eyes. I know that after I read it, I did. Joe DiPietro is a talented young writer, who knows his characters and their territory.”

Larry Kent Bramble Headshot croppedLarry Bramble agrees. “When I first read this play I knew I had to play the role of Ralph. It seemed like it was written for me. Stage Door has allowed that dream to come true. I just directed Over the River and Through the Woods for Stage Door, and I have become a big fan of Joe DiPietro’s plays. He has an innate sense of what touches our souls and what makes us human.”

Joe DiPietro wrote the book and lyrics to the musical comedy hit I Love You, You’re Perfect, Now Change, (composer: Jimmy Roberts), the longest running musical revue in off-Broadway history, with productions staged in over 150 cities around the world. He is also the author of the plays Over The River And Through The Woods, The Kiss At City Hall, The Virgin Weeps, and the comic thriller The Art Of Murder (winner of the 2000 Edgar Award). He wrote the book to the “new” Gershwin musical Nice Work If You Can Get It (world premiere: Goodspeed Opera House, 2001), a new adaptation of Rodgers & Hart’s Babes In Arms (world premiere: Goodspeed Opera House, 2002) and a new adaptation of Rodgers & Hammerstein’s Allegro (world premiere: Signature Theatre, 2004). In addition to his book and lyrics for the recent off-Broadway musical The Thing About Men (composer: Jimmy Roberts), DiPietro’s other projects include book and lyrics for the rock & roll musical Memphis (composer: David Bryan, premiered regionally in late 2003), and the book for All Shook Up, an original musical comedy featuring the songs of Elvis Presley which opened on Broadway in 2005. Joe is the recipient of the William Inge Theater Festival New Voices In American Theater Award, and has won the O’Neill National Playwright’s Conference MacArthur Award for comic writing.

Winner! New York Drama Critics Circle Award for Best Play

Boca Raton, FL – September 2014Roses 1 copy
Evening Star Productions will follow up their sold out August production of William Shakespeare’s The Comedy of Errors with Frank Gilroy’s multi-award winning play The Subject Was Roses. The play will open on September 12th, and run through September 28th at Sol Theatre in Boca Raton.

A timeless American classic, Gilroy’s play explores one family’s struggle to reconcile the disappointments of the past with hopes for the future in post-war America. Set in the Bronx in 1946, The Subject Was Roses focuses on three days in the lives of the Cleary family: Timmy, who has just returned from World War II, and his parents, Nettie and John.

Jeffrey Bruce

“The travails of a seemingly, happy family,  when the  son returns from war, and the effect it has on the parents who love him, combined with how his re-appearance affects their relationship,  was too good to resist when the opportunity arose to direct this play,” director Jeffrey Bruce says.

“When I was a teenager, I saw The Subject Was Roses at a Saturday matinee just after it had won both the Pulitzer Prize for drama as well as the Tony for Best Play,” he continues.  “Jack Albertson, Irene Dailey and Martin Sheen comprised the cast, and I remember being devastated at the curtain call.  I have never been a particular fan of “happy” theatre and enjoy the experience most while feeling deepest emotion, which, to put it mildly, was the state I remained in hours after leaving The Royale Theatre.”

Bruce has cast father and son actors Alan and Evan Gerstel as John and Timmy Cleary. Elli Murray will play Nettie Cleary.

Fifty Plus – A New Attitude!
September 11th – 21st
A Collection of Six BRAND NEW Humorous Short Plays

Ellen Wacher

Ellen Wacher

Audience response to Pigs Do Fly Productions’ first outing, Fifty Plus – A Celebration of Life… As We Know It confirmed what the company’s producer and artistic director, Ellen Wacher already knew – that the short, humorous plays she and her production team chose to present last May in Ft. Lauderdale would resonate with theatre patrons of all ages. The show sold out at Empire Stage, and sold even more tickets than anticipated when it ran for eight ‘encore’ performances in Boca Raton in August. The company’s newest production Fifty Plus – A New Attitude! will run at Empire Stage from September 11th through September 21st.

“We received close to four hundred submissions when we sent out a call forAttitude---ck plays last winter,” Wacher says, “and we quickly realized – even before our first run was over – that we’d found a great concept, that audiences were loving what we were doing, and that we still had a deep pool of excellent material to choose from. So…” she laughs, “I thought, why not do it again!?”

Empire Stage offered dates in September, and Wacher and her team revisited at least 75 of the previously submitted plays. Six plays were chosen and auditions were held in early August.

Todd Caster, Adela Del Rio, Kerry Sensenbach, Elissa Solomon, Troy Stanley, and Janet Weakely were cast.

The new collection, titled Fifty Plus – A New Attitude! reflects the company’s mission, to produce plays that highlight the actor over 50 as a viable, fully involved, full of life character perfectly.

Marj O'Neill-Butler“Anyone, any age, can do anything.  If you do it well at 25, you can do it twice as well at 50.  Not everything entertaining should be aimed at the young,” says Marj O’Neill-Butler, one of the show’s two directors.  You can have fun with an older crowd too.  Good stories resonate at any age.”

Beverly_BlanchetteCo-director Beverly Blanchette agrees: “Fifty Plus – A New Attitude! reminds me of Molly Shannon’s SNL character, Sally O’Malley, whose catchphrase is: “I’m proud to say I’m 50 years old. And I like to kick! Stretch! And kick! I’m 50!” Shannon says the phrase means: “Watch out people, here I come. . . I can kick ass.” And that’s what Pigs Do Fly Productions does.”

The six 10-minute plays are (see below for playwright bios):
Buddhists in the Basement  by Mary Beth Smith
Rainbow Sprinkles by Stacey Lane
Memoir by Donald Steele
Remote Control by Connie Schindewolf
Your Kiss is on My List by Christopher Lockheardt

Boca Raton, FL, August 13th, 2014:

This fall Sol Children Theatre of Boca Raton will partner with the Karen Slattery Educational Research Center for Child Development to offer students classes in Creative Drama and Movement and Musical Theatre Performance Experience. The Center, located on the Boca Raton campus of Florida Atlantic University is affiliated with the College of Education.

“Since we opened our doors we at Sol have been committed to reaching out to our community,” says Sol Founding Producer/Artistic Director Rosalie Grant.  “Several years ago Dr. Nancy Brown, who is the Peter and Nona Gordon Professor of Early Childhood Education at the Karen Slattery Center, asked me to provide a Theatre Intensive Workshop for her Early Childhood Education undergraduate and graduate students.  It proved to be extremely rewarding for me personally, and since then I’ve had the honor of teaching that workshop twice more.  Equally rewarding was finding kindred spirits in Nancy and the director of the Slattery Center, Lydia Bartram.  All three of us are passionate about teaching children.”

The collaboration is a fitting one for Sol Children Theatre, a not-for-profit theatre dedicated to providing children – actors, backstage workers, or audience members – with a safe, secure, and highly professional theatre experience. Under Grant’s leadership the award-winning theatre has been producing quality programming for almost twenty years.   Their recent production of Annie featured a cast and crew ranging in age from 9 to 20 and was completely sold out!

Numerous studies have demonstrated a correlation between theatre involvement and academic achievement in young people. In addition to having higher standardized test scores than their peers who do not experience the arts, children who participate in theatre often experience improved reading comprehension, maintain better attendance records, and stay generally more engaged in school than their non-arts counterparts.

Lydia Bartram

Lydia Bartram, director of the Karen Slattery Educational Research Center for Child Development is equally enthusiastic about the collaboration: “We are very excited about the opportunity to partner with the Sol Children Theatre in the provision of creative drama and musical theatre performance for children from 4 -12 years old. Promoting a passion for the arts is critical to healthy child development and lays a solid foundation for future learning potential.” she explains.

“The vision of Sol Children Theatre supports the interdisciplinary work of the Karen Slattery Educational Research Center for Child Development, which serves as a university laboratory school, and is designed to be of service to children and their families, and to the wider professional community.” Bartram continues. “This program specifically addresses one of the school’s key missions, which is to help young children grow intellectually, socially, emotionally, and physically in a learning environment that nurtures and supports their optimal development.”

Brown agrees: “I am thrilled that our dream of partnering with Sol Children Theatre is now becoming a reality”, she says. “Exposing children to the arts and musical theatre at a young age is extremely beneficial for them and we are so proud to collaborate with Sol Children Theatre on such an important project.”

“To bond the strengths of the creativity and professionalism that Sol can provide to the FAU schools’ children along with the team at the ground-breaking Karen Slattery Center is a dream come true,” says Grant. “Lydia and I have high expectations for this collaboration, and envision it being the stepping stone to further joint efforts.”

The Creative Drama and Movement class for 4 – 6 year olds will encourage young actors to explore the possibilities of acting choices in a safe and controlled environment where they will be given freedom to express themselves through emotion, movement, and vocals while building team work and synchronization skills through easy steps and patterns of movement and vocalizations.

The Musical Theatre Performance Experience for 7 – 12 year olds will offer 20 students a chance to participate in a fully staged musical production, Stephen Sondheim’s Into the Woods Jr. Young actors will work with an experienced director learning many aspects of stagecraft. The course will culminate with 4 public performances scheduled for February 6-8, 2015.

For further information about both these programs, please contact Rosalie Grant at 561-447-8829. The classes will take place at the Karen Slattery Educational Research Center for Child Development on the Boca Raton Florida Atlantic University Campus and then move into rehearsal and performance at Sol Theatre, 3333 N. Federal Highway, Boca Raton

Broward Stage Door Theatre presents WHAT’S NEW PUSSYCAT? THE SOUNDTACK OF AN ERA

What’s New Pussycat? The Soundtrack of an Era

How do I know…? I Heard It Through The Grapevine!

August 12, 2014
Coral Springs, Florida

When Broward Stage Door Theatre’s artistic director Derelle Bunn mentioned to director Michael Leeds and choreographer Kevin Black that she had an open time slot for a show, and asked them if they’d be interested in ‘doing something’, they jumped at the chance. “Kevin and I have wanted to work together for a while, and this was a terrific opportunity,” says Leeds. “And then, of course, the question became – what should we do?!”

The result of their collaboration is What’s New Pussycat? The Soundtrack of an Era, which will open at the Broward Stage Door Theatre on August 22nd, and run through September 28th.

“What’s New, Pussycat was originally going to be a revue of just Burt Bacharach songs,” Leeds explains.  “But as Kevin and I started listening to Bacharach’s music, we kept being distracted by other great songs of the same era.  So we decided to expand the show to include The Mamas & The Papas, Simon & Garfunkel, Petula Clark, Dusty Springfield, Etta James, Ray Charles, The Righteous Brothers, The Fifth Dimension and all those Motown greats like The Four Tops, The Temptations, The Supremes, The Ronettes, as well as incredible composers and writers like Henry Mancini, Michel LeGrand and of course, Burt Bacharach!

“Creating the piece took careful deliberation, Leeds continues: “From past experience, both Kevin and I have learned that though there are no “rules” to creating a musical revue, there are some guidelines.  First, of course, is what songs are the most popular; the songs the audience is coming to hear.”

Leeds and Black have tapped Carbonell Award-winner Eric Alsford as musical director/arranger for What’s New Pussycat?, and have assembled a top-notch cast for their production. Shane Tanner, Mike Westrich, Clay Cartland and Leah Sessa all have impressive South Florida resumes. Two additional performers from New York will round out the six-person ensemble.

Off-Broadway Leeds directed and choreographed Hello Muddah, Hello Faddah – The Songs of Allan Sherman, starring Tovah Feldshuh & Mary Testa, for which he was nominated for a Drama Desk Award for Best Director and Best Choreographer.  His production of the European premiere of Arthur Miller’s Playing For Time won a Festival Fringe First Award. For film, he choreographed End of Summer, starring Jacqueline Bisset and Peter Weller and co-wrote The Simian Line starring William Hurt and Lynn Redgrave, and The Last Film Festival, starring Dennis Hopper and Jacqueline Bisset. Leeds’ plays include The First Step, Who Killed Joan Crawford, and The Gift.  His many South Florida productions include Mack and Mabel (Carbonell Award Best Musical), The Light In The Piazza, and A Little Night Music, (both nominated for Best Musical, and a Silver Palm Award for Direction for Night Music).  As Assoc.
