August 29, 2019
DELRAY BEACH, FL:  It’s never too early to think about Halloween, and who better to celebrate the fast approaching holiday 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.   Entr’Acte Theatrix is inviting audiences to come do the Time Warp again… when they present ‘Rocky’ in the Fieldhouse at Old School Square from September 13th through September 22nd.   

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 fourth time Entr’Acte Theatrix will present The Rocky Horror Show.   Their 2012, 2014, and 2017 productions were so successful that when an encore presentation was suggested, it was, as Entr’Acte’s founder and producer Vicki Halmos says, “A ‘no brainer’!  Our audiences love the show,” she continues, “and so does our cast.  You can see it during rehearsals.  Their enthusiasm is boundless, and they are so excited to be able to bring all these characters to life – figuratively and literally!” she says with a smile.

Carlo Rufino-Sabusap, who has appeared in each of the company’s Rockys as well as numerous other Entr’Acte productions, will direct the production.  He will also play Dr. Scott:

Carlo Rufino-Sabusap

“In an age and political climate where we should be progressing as a society and species, we are instead given constant reminders that bigotry is living strong and that people who are different from the status quo are considered less than people, and in some cases, stripped of their rights,” he says. “Rocky Horror celebrates the idea of the outsider. We not only want the audience to have fun, but they should also realize that the enjoyment they are experiencing is because a group of wildly different people from different backgrounds and life experiences worked together to make something great. This is our 4th time mounting this show, and I believe it is our value of working TOGETHER, and including our differences, that we are making something Great Again.”

Cast in Entr’Acte’s Rocky Horror Show are Drew Brown as Brad Majors, Mary Grace Tesoriero as Janet Weiss, Rosseroni Parris as Frank N. Furter, Elana Vital as Magenta, Lara Williams-Palmer as Columbia, Greg Halmos as Riff Raff, Jon Tinker as Rocky, Andy Morejon as Eddie, Ashley Gravlin as the Usherette, and Jeremy Quinn as The Criminologist. Also in the cast are Briana Earhart, Sarah Kenny, Nysia Matos, Sara Rayburn, and Nik Rosa.

Along with director Sabusap, the show’s production crew includes co-Producer Greg Halmos, Musical Directors Roger Blankenship and Mariano Garcia, Choreographer Andy Morejon, and Stage Manager Skylar Stratemeyer. 

The Rocky Horror Show will run for 11 performances only, from September 13 – 22, in the Fieldhouse at Old School Square. The theatre is located at 51 North Swinton Avenue, in Delray Beach (33444) Tickets are on sale now, and are available on line at http://entractetheatrix.com/. Ticket prices range from $45 for VIP Table Seating, $35 General Floor Seating, $25 Balcony Seating.

Monty Python’s Spamalot

June 20 – 30

For Immediate Release

May 21, 2019:

DELRAY BEACH, FL: Entr’Acte Theatrix will revisit one of the silliest places on earth when their encore production of Monty Python’s Spamalot opens at the Crest Theatre at Old School Square in Delray Beach.   The show will run from June 20th through the 30th. The award-winning musical is “lovingly ripped off” from the 1975 film Monty Python and the Holy Grail, with a book by Python Eric Idle, and a score by Idle and John Du Prez. Like the film, Spamalot is a totally irreverent and typically Pythonesque parody of the Arthurian saga:

The legendary King Arthur, accompanied by his faithful servant, Patsy, travels through his kingdom, collecting members for his Knights of the Round Table.  Some of his recruits include Sir Robin, a collector of plague victims, and Lance a ‘large, handsome, and incredibly violent man’, who agree to join him – Lance ‘for the fighting’, and Robin for ‘the singing and dancing’.  The Lady of the Lake (and her Laker Girls), Sir Bedevere, and Sir Dennis Galahad eventually join Arthur in his search for The Holy Grail. The show also features a bevy of beautiful girls (of course), not to mention ‘cows, killer rabbits, and French people’.  As The Sunday Times observed, Monty Python’s Spamalot ‘raises silliness to an art form’.

Entr’Acte Theatrix has assembled a talented cast to populate the surreal World of Python.  The suitably kingly Troy Stanley will take on the role of Arthur, and Greg Halmos will play his faithful Patsy.  Kalli Courakos will play The Lady of the Lake and Rosseroni Parris will don Sir Galahad’s armor. Also cast are Christian Ortega as Brave Sir Robin, Dallas Erwin as Sir Lancelot, and Chris Cimorelli as Sir Bedevere. Other cast members include Ennalls Berl, Drew Brown, Briana Earhart, Savanna Marino, Nysia Matos, Andy Morejon, Sarah Rayburn, Hannah Rosenberg, Carlo Rufino-Sabusap, Ben Shaevitz, and Nicole Stav.

“We consider this production of Spamalot a celebration of our 10 years as Entr’acte Theatrix,” the company’s Founder/Producer Vicki Halmos says.  We’ve captured a few of our original cast members from our 2013 production to reprise their roles.

“Spamalot did, and will again, allow our very talented cast to hone their comedic skills and to bring this tribute to the iconic Monty Python troupe,” she continues. “In preparation, particularly with new cast members, we had a workshop before we began rehearsals to encourage these cast members to hone their comedy chops, and I think the audiences will be delighted in what we have created. In addition, we have a couple of Palm Beach Principle Players/Entr’acte Theatrix alums in various positions – including our director, JR Coley, and our Choreographer, Jamie Mattocks. Both of these talented thespians were cast members together in our production of Oklahoma many years ago when they were still in high school and college. That particular early production set the standard of excellence for us having since turned out two Tony winners, and gave that cast the chance to work with a world class choreographer from the NY dance world. Our standard of excellence continues in providing performance and production training opportunities for young actors on the brink of their careers, and also allowing them to remain in Palm Beach County to begin building their resumes.”

Monty Python’s Spamalot will run for 12 performances only, from June 20th to 30th, at the Crest Theatre at Old School Square in Delray Beach.  The theatre is located at 51 North Swinton Avenue, Delray Beach, 33444.  Tickets are on sale now and are available online at  https://oldschoolsquare.org/ or by calling 561-243-7922. Tickets are $35 – $45; $25 for groups of 10 or more. $15 Student Rush tickets will be available ½ hour before curtain only, with valid ID.

The Addams Family – A New Musical Comedy
October 25 – November 4

They’re creepy… and they’re kooky…and they’re back!
Charles Addams’ weird and wonderful family comes to life in this award-winning musical comedy.     

For Immediate Release
Contact:  Carol Kassie
carol@carolkassie.com / 561-445-9244

October 1, 2018
DELRAY BEACH, FL: Entr’Acte Theatrix audiences are in for a fiendishly delightful treat beginning October 25th when Delray Beach’s Crest Theatre @ Old School Square will host Charles Addams’ wonderfully bizarre cast of characters known as The Addams Family – just in time for Halloween! The award-winning musical will run through November 4th. 

Charles Addams’ ghoulishly clever and devilishly satirical Addams Family cartoons first began appearing in the New Yorker magazine in 1938, and his characters captured the hearts and the humor of the American public almost immediately.  A close knit, loving family, with a few odd quirks – and a definite affinity for the bizarre and macabre – the Addams Family has appeared in a number of film and television adaptations since their debut, however The Addams Family – A New Musical Comedy is based on Addams’ cartoons, rather than any of the characters as they were portrayed in film or on television.

Addams Family patrons are being encouraged to come dressed in Halloween costumes, and several appropriately garbed audience members will be invited to join the cast on stage during the last scene of the show!

Jeremy Quinn, who directed Entr’Acte’s most recent production of The Rocky Horror show will helm the production:

“The Addams Family has been around for a little over 80 years, whether in cartoon form, on television, in film or on Broadway,” he says. “This family has endured the test of time because they are, above all else, a family. Even though they have a zombie for a butler, a cousin covered in hair, and a dismembered hand in a box named “Thing”, they are actually quite relatable. If we look closely enough at our own families…we’ve got at least one “Addams” somewhere along the line! 

“But we love the Addams Family because they embrace their strangeness, which we should all do, within the most “normal” of circumstances,” he continues. “There’s nothing “wrong” here…just different. Let’s be real – unique authenticity is an increasingly valued trait. With 7.7 billion people on Earth, a little diversity provides an abundance of beautiful color!

“I am inspired by the book writer’s quote,” he says: “The unknown may be frightening, the darkness overwhelming, but if we don’t run from it, we may see our mysterious, miraculous lives finally illuminated. If we move toward the darkness, we might find love and acceptance. For when it is dark enough, we can see the stars.” – Rick Elice, book writer for The Addams Family.”

Entr’Acte’s Addams Family members include Ashley Gravlin as Morticia Addams, Carlo Sabusap as Gomez Addams, Mary Grace Tesoriero as Wednesday Addams, Greg Halmos as Pugsley Addams, John Costanzo as Fester Addams, Rosseroni Parris as Grandma Addams, Gustavo Garcia as Lurch, Robyn Eli Brenner as Lucas Beineke, Nicole Stav as Alice Beineke, and Mark Kirschenbaum as Malcolm Beineke. Also cast – as Addams Ancestors – are Irma Gloria, Emma Sue Harris, Nysia Matos, Mackenzie Anderson, Elana Vital, Jonathan Thoresen, Ben Shaevitz, Andy Morejon, and Trevohnn Garner.

Portrait-20

Entr’Acte Theatrix’ The Addams Family – A New Musical Comedy will run from October 25 – November 4 at The Crest Theatre @ Old School Square in Delray Beach.  Tickets are $45 (premium seating) or $35 (regular seating). Student and group rates are also available. Tickets are on sale now and can be purchased at the Crest Theatre box office at 561-243-7922 or on line at www.entractetheatrix.com.  The Crest Theatre @ Old School Square is located at 51 North Swinton Avenue in Delray Beach (33444).

“Gomez and Pugsley are enthusiastic. Morticia is even in disposition, muted, witty, sometimes deadly. Grandma Frump is foolishly good-natured. Wednesday is her mother’s daughter. A closely knit family, the real head being Morticia—although each of the others is a definite character—except for Grandma, who is easily led. Many of the troubles they have as a family are due to Grandma’s fumbling, weak character. The house is a wreck, of course, but this is a house-proud family just the same and every trap door is in good repair. Money is no problem…”  Charles Addams

DELRAY BEACH, FL:  Princeton’s famous Triangle Club, the oldest touring collegiate musical-comedy troupe in the nation, will present its only South Florida performance on Thursday, February 2 at 7:30 p.m. at the Crest Theater at Old School Square, located at 51 North Swinton Avenue in Delray Beach.

The Triangle Show brings a unique theatrical experience to a very few locations each year and South Florida and the Crest Theatre have been selected to host this one time only performance of the company’s 2017 125th anniversary tour. Greece’d Lightning! opened in Princeton this past November to rave reviews and sold-out houses. Audiences were unanimous in their praise – citing the show as “truly wonderful and one of the best shows they have done ever… Triangle’s professional quality of original song, dance, humor, and musical composition has risen to delightful heights.”
ptc

For this landmark 125th Anniversary edition of the Triangle show, it’s all Greek – when a can-do baker from Greece’s smallest city-state tries to win the world’s first ever Olympics! But how can she compete when her sponsor is the Ruler of the Dead; she’s falling for Zeus’ athlete; and sports haven’t even been invented? From Icarus’ flight to Oedipus’ bedroom, join the greatest cast of characters Western civilization has ever known. Ending with Triangle’s famous all-male kick-line, Greece’d Lightning! will “get you to drachma like it’s hot!”

triangle_orange_logo-01For 125 years the Princeton Triangle Club has been creating professionally-produced, original student-written musicals in “The House that Triangle Built”, the renowned McCarter Theatre. In fact, The Princeton Triangle Club has the distinction of being the oldest touring (as well as the oldest co-ed) collegiate musical-comedy troupe in the United States, and the only co-ed collegiate troupe to take their show on a national tour each year.

The Triangle Club boasts a rich history and long list of alumni who have graduated to eminence in the creative arts, including F. Scott Fitzgerald ’17, Jimmy Stewart ’32, Jose Ferrer ’34, Wayne Rogers ’56, Clark Gesner ’60, Jeff Moss ’63, David Kelley ’79, Brooke Shields ’87, Wentworth Miller ’95, Ellie Kemper ’02, and Molly Ephraim ’08. The club’s seventy current members have diverse academic interests from astrophysics to economics, public policy to literature, and many plan on pursuing professional theater in some capacity.

Greece’d Lightning! offers audiences a one-time opportunity to see America’s most brilliant young minds and talents sing their hearts out and uphold a cherished musical tradition!

Greece’d Lightning! will be performed at the Crest Theatre at Old School Square on February 2nd at 7:30 pm only.  Tickets are $35 for adults and $15 for students; group rates are also available.  The Crest Theatre at Old School Square is located at 51 North Swinton Avenue in Delray Beach (33444).  Tickets may be purchased on line at www.triangleshow.com/tour-palm-beach/

PALM BEACH/DELRAY BEACH, FL:  Auditions will be held for the South Florida premiere of Young Frankenstein, Mel Brooks’ popular musical adaptation of his own classic movie at the Palm Beach Day Academy on August 11 from 7- 9:30 pm and August 13 from 7-9:30 pm. Entr’Acte Theatrix, whose recent productions of Into the Woods, Avenue Q, Spamalot, and The Rocky Horror Show have consistently filled the Crest Theatre, will produce the musical from October 22nd through November 1st at the popular Delray Beach venue.

A wickedly inspired re-imagining of the Frankenstein legend, Brooks’ comedy masterpiece follows bright young Dr. Frankenstein (that’s Fronkensteen!) as he attempts to complete his grandfather’s masterwork and bring a corpse to life. Together with his oddly shaped and endearing helper Igor (that’s Eye-gor), his curvaceous lab assistant Inga, and in spite of his incredibly self-involved madcap fiancé Elizabeth, Frankenstein succeeds in creating a monster — but not without scary and quite often hilarious complications.

Presents
Stephen Sondheim’s
IntoTheWoods-largeJune 18 – June 28
What happens after ‘happily ever after’?

May 26, 2015

DELRAY BEACH, FL:  Into the Woods, the multi-award-winning (Tony Awards, Drama Desk Awards, Olivier Awards) musical by Stephen Sondheim and James Lapine, skillfully interweaves several classic fairy tales into one epic story that shows what happens when things get real in the fairy-tale world. Entr’Acte Theatrix’ upcoming production of this acclaimed Broadway musical will run at the Delray Beach Center for the Arts’ Crest Theatre from June 18 through June 28th.

Sondheim and Lapine’s tale involves a baker and his wife who, unable to have the children they so badly desire, agree to complete a number of “errands” for a witch who promises to grant them their wish if they’re successful. During their journey, they encounter Little Red Riding Hood, Rapunzel, Cinderella and Jack (of Beanstalk notoriety) – each of whom has their own wish. All the storybook characters discover that wishes granted often come with a hefty price.

Kevin Black, who directed Entr’Acte’s recent successful productions of Spamalot, Tommy, and The Rocky Horror Show has taken on the directorial and choreographic duties for Into the Woods with his usual enthusiasm:

“In 1988, I saw the national tour of Into the Woods with a group of friends, and I was mesmerized”, he says. “Here was a story of hope, morals and life lessons… It was my introduction into the world of Sondheim and I was hooked – the brilliant genius of Sondheim was unmistakable in this show. In 2012, I directed Side by Side by Sondheim at The Miami Stage Door Theatre and now I have the opportunity to direct Into the Woods for Entr’Acte Theatrix. This time, the objective is to create an entertaining evening of musical theatre that even an audience who has never experienced Sondheim will enjoy,” he continues. “We’re taking a very comedic approach to the show, brightening the tempos and creating a modern day look in set and costume design. We’ve assembled a stellar cast of talented actors who prove to me every day that tackling a mega Sondheim musical like Into the Woods may prove challenging, but oh so worth it.”

Entr’Acte Theatrix’ Into the Woods cast includes some familiar faces, along with a number of talented newcomers. Sharyn Peoples who played The Lady of the Lake in Entr’Acte Theatrix’ recent sold-out production of Spamalot will play The Witch, Justin Schneyer, who played Brad in Entr’Acte’s October 2014 production of The Rocky Horror Show will play The Baker, and John Costanzo (King Arthur in Spamalot) will play Cinderella’s father. Other returning cast members are Calvin Bankert (Jack), Sahid Pabon (Cinderella’s Prince), Brielle Lysaght (Stepsister), Christian Ortega (Rapunzel’s Prince), Jenna Paige Gagliardo (Jack’s Mother), Greg Halmos (The Wolf), Christi Oliver (Stepmother), and Rio Peterson (The Steward). Newcomers include Melissa Bibliowicz (Cinderella), Victoria Lauzun (The Baker’s Wife), Jen Chia (Little Red Riding Hood), Lindsey Johr (Rapunzel), Devin Tupler (Narrator), and Brittany Payne (Stepsister)

Steve Solomon
stars in
Cannoli, Latkes, and Guilt…The Therapy Continues…
CANNOLI-LATKIS LOGOG HI REZ w new spelling on blackat the Delray Beach Center for the Arts’ Crest Theatre
January 3rd & 4th, 2015
and The Lyric Theatre in Stuart
January 6th, 2015

South Florida favorite Steve Solomon’s shows are Politically Incorrect –
and he’s proud of it!

Delray Beach, December 2014:
Steve SolomonSteve Solomon will bring his new hit show, Cannoli, Latkes & Guilt…The Therapy Continues… to The Delray Beach Center for the Arts’ Crest Theatre on January 3rd and 4th, 2015, and to the Lyric Theatre in Stuart on January 6th, 2015. Cannoli… is a perfect showcase for Solomon’s impressive comedic talent, his inimitable story-telling ability, and his funny and clever facility with words, accents, and sounds. The show is full of new stories – those familiar with Solomon’s earlier productions know his family consistently provides him with a goldmine of humor and humorous situations – as well as a compilation of some of the best of his earlier work. His previous shows include My Mother’s Italian, My Father’s Jewish & I’m in Therapy, My Mother’s Italian, My Father’s Jewish & I’m STILL in Therapy, and Steve’s Holiday Show (and his personal favorite) My Mother’s Italian, My Father’s Jewish …. & I’m Home For the Holidays.

Steve Solomon’s humor is universal, and universally loved.  Enhanced by his talent for impersonation and his mastery of different dialects – he does approximately 20 different characters and voices in his shows – his stories about his mixed heritage Italian/Jewish family resonate with everyone, no matter what their ethnicity, and have delighted and entertained audiences for over 4000 performances.

Steve SolomonAnd as Solomon will tell you himself – he’s politically incorrect:
“Of course I am!  My entire family is politically incorrect; and that’s what helps make the shows so funny.  The very fact that we can go out to the theatre and spend an evening laughing at ourselves—and the antics of others – without fear of repercussion helps make this the great country it is!”

He will also tell you his shows are full of stereotypes:
“Yep,” he says, in answer to his ‘politically correct’ critics “That was my life; stereotypical Italian and Jewish aunts who spent the entire day in house dresses stirring sauces and soup.  Maybe they were stereotypes, but they were – they are – my family, and I’m only describing what I know… and love!

“In fact,” he continues, “Not once, in the 12 years my plays have been touring, have I ever received a complaint from a patron about how offended they were – indeed it’s usually the opposite.  I get dozens of e-mails and letters thanking me for the show and saying, ‘….that was my uncle….’  Or, ‘you nailed my Mom….’”  Or “…I think we grew up in the same house…”

Steve Solomon epitomizes the word ‘multifaceted’.  He is an accomplished pianist, composer, and lyricist; a member of MENSA, a painter and cartoonist (all his show logos are his own creations); a teacher – he has two Master’s degrees and an SDA and ABD degree in education and taught physics in Long Island, New York (where he eventually became Assistant to the Superintendent of Schools); and according to his wife he can fix anything except, according to Solomon, the way certain seniors drive in South Florida!

Tickets for Cannoli, Latkes & Guilt! The Therapy Continues…  are on sale now, and can be purchased by calling the Delray Beach Center for the Arts’ Crest Theatre at 561-243-7922 or on line at www.delrayarts.org .

Solomon has it right.”

Below is a list of productions – plays, musicals, concerts, readings, radio plays, etc. –  that will be presented on various South Florida stages during the 2014-2015 season … and beyond.
I will try to keep this list up to date and make sure any additions, subtractions, and changes in dates or venues are noted as they arise.
As you will see as you scroll down this page, theatre in South Florida is thriving, and audiences will be able to choose from an exciting and eclectic selection of productions in the coming months.
Please don’t hesitate to contact me if you have any questions…
I look forward to seeing you at the Theatre!

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.

Nomax, whose girlfriend has left him and who is without money, finds Big Moe, Four-Eyed Moe, Eat Moe, No Moe, and Little Moe emerging from his 1930s-style radio to comfort him. 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!’

playbill_2269_23137839 copyJohn Peterson will return to the Stage Door Theatre in George M. Cohen Tonight! (March 20 to April 26, 2015, Theatre 2) an upbeat one-man play about the beloved song and dance man George M. 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.

But will she give into the one thing that will take away her magical powers forever? 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).

Princess_PeaThe overbearing Queen has already determined whom her precious sonny boy, Prince Handsome, will marry. 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?

voom_banner2012-1[1][1]Breathing life into ancient texts and told this time from the point of view of the women, In The Voice of Our Mothers reveals the intimate and powerful narratives of our Biblical matriarchs. 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.

Justin Schneyer HeadshotJustin Schneyer (Brad) is a graduate of Florida Atlantic University with a Bachelor’s of Fine Arts in Theatre Performance. He has worked with several theaters in South Florida, including Slowburn Theatre Company (Urinetown: The Musical, Into the Woods, Sideshow), Outre Theatre Company (Much Ado About Nothing), The Boca Raton Theatre Guild (Sweet Charity), and The Broward Center for the Performing Arts (Little House on the Ferry).

Seth Trucks

This is his third show with Entr’Acte Theatrix – he was Trekkie Monster in Avenue Q and improv/comedy coach for Spamalot.

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. An off-shoot of the Palm Beach Principal Players, a twelve-year-old acting company for theater students of high school and college age, Entr’acte, as the name suggests, is the “next step,” from classroom to career, and provides the young actor his or her first professional, all-important, resume-building credit.

The Rocky Horror Show will run for 15 performances only, from October 16 – November 1, at the Crest Theatre at the Delray Beach Center for the Arts. The theatre is located at 51 North Swinton Avenue, Delray Beach, 33444. Tickets are on sale now, and are available by calling 561-243-7922 or on line HERE.
