Boca Stage to present
Boeing Boeing
at the Delray Beach Playhouse

January 18 – 27

“…the appeal of “Boeing Boeing” is the very opposite of what you might expect. It’s not smutty at all. It’s deliciously, deliriously innocent.”  Ben Brantley – The New York Times

DELRAY BEACH, FL:  Boca Stage’s second production of the season will be the 1960’s French farce Boeing Boeing.  The production will run from January 18th – 27th in the Cabaret Theater of the award-winning theatre company’s new home at the Delray Beach Playhouse.

“After our virtually sold-out run of Wait Until Dark, for our second show we’re investing in straight comedy,” says Boca Stage producer and the show’s director, Keith Garsson. “Boeing Boeing has been re-translated and updated several times since its original incarnation in 1960. However, we chose this particular piece because unlike most farces, the plot does not depend on a simple misunderstanding, where, if explained, the play would be over. Rather, this play’s machinations ride on the ability of an American in Paris trying to keep all three of his internationally diverse flight attendant fiancées from discovering each other…when they all show up at his bachelor pad almost simultaneously.

“However, the authors were not content to rely solely on slamming doors and fast changes to the humor,” he continues. The dialogue is fast, clever and funny. The characters are a broad spectrum of whack jobs and neurotics each with their own voice yet staying just this side of stereotypes. And as always, to disclose more about the plot, or even the characters, would be unthinkable as surprises and twists lurk on every page,” he concludes. 

All but two members of Boeing Boeing’s cast (Angie Radosh and Kevin Cruz just off the company’s spring production of Grand Horizons) are fresh faces to Boca Stage; South Florida Theater veteran Noah Levine will play the “put upon” swinging bachelor Bernard who is on the verge of a breakdown juggling his three paramours. These paramours are Boca Stage newcomers Sandi Stock, Zoe Darragh Garnett, and JB Wing.

The Stage Manager for Boeing Boeing is James Danford. Cindi Blank Taylor is the show’s Scenic Designer, David Hart will create the Sound, Alberto Arroyo continues as Costume Designer while Andre Lancaster will serve as the show’s Technical Director. Backstage Managers are Anne Solomons and Edgar Maldonado.

Tickets for Boeing Boeing range in price from $39 to $69 and are available online at delraybeachplayhouse.com or by calling 561-272-1281. Performances are on Friday and Saturday at 2 pm and 8 pm, and on Sunday at 2 pm.

“Suspense, anyone? The old-fashioned kind? Who’s for good, clean fun? One is Agatha Christie’s 1954 puzzler, A Spider’s Web.” – Howard Thompson, The New York Times

DELRAY BEACH, FL:  The Delray Beach Playhouse will open their season with a classic mystery.  Dame Agatha Christie’s A Spider’s Web, a unique blend of suspense and humor, will open at the Playhouse on December 3rd, and run through December 19th. 

Agatha Christie famously wrote the longest-running play in the history of the English-speaking theatre – The Mousetrap, now in its 69th year in London’s West End. Her second longest-running success is an intricately plotted mystery with comedic overtones which involves discovering a hidden treasure of unsuspected value, a young girl’s fascination with witchcraft and a hostess who must keep a murder from interfering with an important diplomatic conference.

After Clarissa Brown convinces her husband, a Foreign Office diplomat, and his two colleagues to help her hide a murdered body, the conference begins. But it is soon interrupted by the arrival of the police, who have been summoned by a mysterious call. To her chagrin, when Clarissa tries to lead the police to the body, it has disappeared. Usually adept at spinning tales of adventure to amuse her husband’s colleagues, Clarissa learns that facts can be far more terrifying than fiction.

A conscious parody of the detective thriller, Christie delivers a unique blend of suspense and humor. There is tension and laughter in equal parts in an intricate plot of murder, police, drug addicts, invisible ink, hidden doorways and secret drawers.

A Spider’s Web will be directed by Randolph (Randy) DelLago, and features Marci Hall as Clarissa Hailsham-Brown, Ken Vianale as Henry Hailsham-Brown, Mark Liebert as Sir Rowland Delahaye, Neal Evangelista as Hugo Birch, Marissa Shala as Pippa Hailsham-Brown, Tom Gregory as Jeremy Warrender, Colin Elias as Oliver Costello, Tom Turner as Elgin, Michael Beecher as Inspector Lord, and Dean Christopoul as Constable Jones.

A Spider’s Web‘s Stage Manager is Doug Moore, and the show’s Technical Director is Andre Lancaster.  Scenic Design is by Ann Cadaret and Cindi Taylor, and Scenic Art is by Cindi Taylor.  Lighting is by Sonia Buchanan, Properties by Susan Rose, and the production’s Master Carpenter is Jeff Davis.

A Spider’s Web will run from December 3 – 19 at the Delray Beach Playhouse.  Tickets are $38 and can be purchased online at delraybeachplayhouse.com/, or by phone at 561-272-1281.The Delray Beach Playhouse is located at 950 NW 9th Street, in Delray Beach (33444).

Entr’Acte Theatrix presents AVENUE Q June 19 – 29

AvenueQ“DISGUSTINGLY IRRESISTIBLE!”
-The New York Times
“WICKED FUN FOR GROWN-UPS!”
-The New Yorker
“JAW-DROPPINGLY HILARIOUS!”
-Entertainment Weekly

Delray Beach FL, May, 2014:

Avenue Q has been called the ‘funniest dirty musical’ or ‘the dirtiest funny musical’ ever. Written by Jeff Marx and Robert Lopez (The Book of Mormon, Frozen) the Tony Award-winning show is a clever and irreverent look at the world through the eyes of the residents of Avenue Q as they explore and address the issues associated with growing up in the ‘real’ world, rather than the one their parents – and Sesame Street – described to them. Using a unique combination of humans and puppets, the musical chronicles its characters’ struggles to find decent jobs, stable relationships, and their purpose in life.

Entr’Acte Theatrix will present Avenue Q at the Delray Beach Center for the Arts (Crest Theater) from June 19 – 29.

“This play is a particularly appropriate one for Entr’Acte Theatrix”, says producer Vicki Halmos. “Our mission is to provide performance opportunities for emerging theatre artists, who – just like the characters they will portray, are taking the ‘next step’ from classroom to career.” Halmos has been involved with Avenue Q almost since its inception. She was an original investor in the Broadway, London, and Las Vegas productions, as well in its current off-Broadway incarnation, and was at the Tony Awards when the show won for Best Musical, Best Book of a Musical, and Best Original Score ten years ago.

Avenue Q’s director Darrick Penny, has just graduated with an MFA from Florida Atlantic University. He recently directed The Fantasticks, and starred as Sir Robin in Entr’Acte’s 2013 production of Monty Python’s Spamalot.

Entr’Acte’s company of actors are all seriously pursuing careers in theatre or the arts, and a number of them have already appeared on area stages. Cast members Christian Ortega (Princeton), Sahid Arnaud-Pabon (Nicky), and Luis Herrera (Rod, Bad Idea Bear) are students at The New World School of the Arts; Seth Trucks (Trekkie) is a graduate of London’s Royal Academy of Dramatic Arts (his father is Butch Trucks, drummer for the Allman Brothers Band); and Joanna Mandel (Kate Monster) appeared in Entr’Acte’s productions of Hair and Cabaret. The rest of the cast includes Greg Halmos (Brian), Elaine Flores (Christmas Eve), Kalli Courakos (Lucy the Slut), Samantha Streich (Mrs. Thistletwat, Bad Idea Bear), and Chasity Hart (Gary Coleman).

All the cast members attended a two week puppet ‘boot camp’ in order to learn the intricacies of manipulating, Princeton 1singing, and dancing with their puppet counterparts.  (Click HERE to see a short video of an Avenue Q cast performing La  Macarena) Musical numbers include: “What do you do with a B.A. in English?”, “It Sucks to Be Me”, “If You Were Gay”, “Everyone’s a Little Bit Racist”, and “The Internet is for Porn”.

Avenue Q will run from June 19th through June 29th only, at the Crest Theatre at the Delray Beach Center for the Arts at Old School Square. 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. Tickets are $20; $15 for groups of 15 or more with the 16th ticket free and are on sale now. $10 Student Rush tickets will be available ½ hour before curtain only, with valid ID.
