Follow Michaela Paige or visit W4CY and find a Special Discount Code for
Monty Python’s Spamalot!
spam resize (Page 1)

Entr’Acte Theatrix has teamed with the Intertainment Network’s popular W4CY Internet Radio to bring 2012 The Voice finalist Michaela Paige to the Delray Beach Centre for the Arts’ Crest Theatre.  Paige will participate in a live remote broadcast leading up to Saturday evening June 22nd performance of Monty Python’s Spamalot.

MP BSPaige is currently in Los Angeles for The Voice finale, and will fly home especially for the Entr’Acte/Spamalot appearance.  The young singer, a Boca Raton native, was a popular contestant on last year’s show, and her coach, country mega-star Blake Shelton, predicted a great future for her on the evening of her eventual elimination:

“I love this little girl so much and it’s just the … this is her first stab at this thing, and she’s going to be a star.” Shelton said. “You’re going to see her many times. Her big mohawk is going to be walking across the stage at the Grammys and I can’t wait. I can’t wait. I’m so glad that I had this one small chapter in (your) book.”

As a special promotion, all followers of Michaela Paige on Twitter, Facebook, and other social media will be offered a discount code to use in order to purchase tickets to Entr’Acte Theatrix’ Monty Python’s Spamalot at half theMichaela-Paige-02 regular price.  In order to find the discount code, patrons should visit Paige’s Facebook page  or follow the singer on Twitter where she can be found at  @FLASinger1.  W4CY radio host Dean K. Piper – ‘The Pipeman’ – will be broadcasting the code on his program; it will also be available on W4CY’s Jason Fisher’s 5 minutes to Curtain page and internet radio show.  Once the code has been retrieved, patrons can use it to purchase their discounted tickets either in person, on the phone, or on line.  This special discount code may be used throughout the entire run of Monty Python’s Spamalot.

Monty Python’s Spamalot (‘lovingly ripped off from the 1975 film Monty Python and the Holy Grail’) is a deliriously funny spectacle that puts a hilariously unique spin on the legendary tale of King Arthur, his Knights of the Round Table, and their quest for the Holy Grail. The show features – among other things – lusty maidens, dancing divas, a flatulent Frenchman, and a killer rabbit.

Monty Python’s Spamalot will run for 12 performances only, from June 20th to 30th, 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 $10 for children under 12; and are on sale now. $10 Student Rush tickets will be available ½ hour before curtain only, with valid ID.

‘They’re Playing Our Song’ & ‘Pippin’ at the Boca Raton Theatre Guild

The Boca Raton Theatre Guild to Produce
Two Musicals for its 2013-2014 Season
Margot---Oscar

The Boca Raton Theatre Guild has chosen to produce two acclaimed musicals for their 2013-2014 season.  The commercial and critical success of their recent production of Chicago was one of the key factors inspiring the change.  In the past their seasons have consisted of one musical and one straight play.

The BRTG season will open with They’re Playing Our Song, the Neil Simon/Marvin Hamlisch disco era musical, and will conclude with the Stephen Schwartz, Bob Fosse, Roger O. Hirson 1972 classic Pippin.

Producer/director Keith Garsson explains the Guild’s decision: “The recent loss of composer Marvin Hamlisch led us to re-examine his unique body of work to see which shows have been overlooked. It didn’t take long to come across They’re Playing Our Song and realize that its energetic disco score, New York setting and funny script by Neil Simon was a terrific choice to insert into the spot usually reserved for our straight play.”

 They’re Playing Our Song will star Carbonell Award winners Margot Moreland and Oscar Cheda as fictional counterparts to the real-life romance between Hamlisch and lyricist Carol Bayer-Sager. Ms. Moreland recently wowed Theatre Guild audiences in her critically acclaimed performance of last year’s Sweet Charity and Mr. Cheda, has just completed a run in the critically acclaimed production of In the Heights at Actor’s Playhouse. Caryl Fantel will serve as musical director for the production.

The season will conclude with the Guild’s traditional ‘big’ musical.  According to musical theatre scholar Scott Miller in his 1996 book, From Assassins to West Side Story, “Pippin is a largely under-appreciated musical with a great deal more substance to it than many people realize…”  Currently enjoying an extremely successful revival on Broadway, Pippin uses the premise of a mysterious performance troupe, led by a Leading Player, to tell the story of a young prince and his search for meaning and significance.

Says producer Garsson: “Pippin features a collection of dance-in the-aisles tunes.  It ran for years on Broadway, beginning in 1972.  Of course that was over forty years ago… expect some innovations!”

 “And,” Garsson continues, “We’re really pleased Ron Hutchins, who created all that brilliant choreography in Chicago will be joining us for both shows this season as we continue to grow our productions as our audience demands!”

The Boca Raton Theatre Guild is a not-for-profit organization dedicated to producing professional productions and advancing the art of theatre in the South Florida community.

All performances will take place in the Willow Theatre in Sugar Sand Park.  The theatre is located at 300 South Military Trail in Boca Raton, just south of Palmetto Park Road.

Tickets for They’re Playing Our Song and Pippin will be available at the Willow Theatre Box office: 561-347-3948.

Paulette Dozier
Celebrates September
with a Concert at Arts Garage
and an Encore Performance of
Lady Day at Emerson’s Bar & Grill

Dozier’s performance as Billie Holiday in playwright Lanie Robertson’s portrait of the legendary jazz singer just four months before her death earned glowing reviews and played to sold out houses at the Boca Raton Theatre Guild in April, and more recently at the Broward Stage Door Theatre in Coral Springs.   The production will run for four performances only – September 21st -23rd at the Byron Carlyle Theatre in Miami.  Now in its second year, the Miami Beach Stage Door is the resident theatre company at the historic Byron Carlyle Theatre.

In Lady Day at Emerson’s Bar & Grill the iconic jazz singer reflects upon her life, loves, tragedies, and triumphs in a powerful monologue interspersed with music from her timeless songbook.

Arts Garage in Delray Beach has quickly become one of South Florida’s top spots for jazz – and as such is the perfect venue to host an introductory concert celebrating the South Florida release of Paulette Dozier’s newest project – her third CD, In Walked You.   As in her previous albums, In Walked You highlights a number of unforgettable compositions from the jazz canon, and features an original composition – the title track Dozier penned with longtime collaborator Mike Levine.

In Walked You will be available for purchase on September 8th at www.paulettedozier.com.

Lady Day at Emerson’s Bar & Grill will run September 21-23.  Performances are: Friday at 8:00 p.m., Saturday at 2 p.m. and 8 p.m., and Sunday at 2:00 p.m. The Byron Carlyle Theatre is located at 500 71st Street, Miami, Florida 33141. Tickets for Lady Day at Emerson’s Bar & Grill are $38, and $16 for students (with ID). There is a 10% discount available for residents of Miami Beach. Tickets are on sale now, and can be purchased at the Byron Carlyle Box Office: 305-397-8977.

Tickets for Paulette Dozier’s Arts Garage CD Release Party and Performance are available by calling 561-450-6357 or at http://artsgarage.org/or http://artsgarage.org/event-registration/?ee=7. Tickets are $20-30 in advance, $25-35 at the door. All performances take place at Arts Garage, 180 N.E. First Street, Delray Beach, 33444. (lower level of the Old School Square Parking Garage).

The Boca Raton Theatre Guild’s
Chicago
to feature some of South Florida’s
Top Talent!

Carbonell Award-winning actor Avi Hoffman will star as Billy Flynn in the Boca Raton Theatre Guild’s upcoming production of Chicago. The classic Kander and Ebb musical will run from March 1st through March 17th at the Willow Theatre in Sugar Sand Park.  Sally Bondi will play Matron Ma Morton, and Ken Clement has been cast as Amos Hart. Auditions for other roles in the production will be held on Monday, September 10th, from 5 pm – 9 pm at the Willow Theatre.

Chicago will be directed by Keith Garson, and choreographed by Ron Hutchins. Eric Alsford will serve as the show’s musical director.

Populated with flamboyant flappers, crooked lawyers, and merry murderesses, Chicago is a musical tale of “murder, greed, corruption, violence, exploitation, adultery, and treachery – all those things we hold near and dear to our hearts.”  With a sparkling script and a classic score that includes “All That Jazz,” “Cell Block Tango” and “Razzle Dazzle”, Chicago has everything that makes musical theatre great.

Avi Hoffman took home a 2011 Carbonell Award for Best Supporting Actor in a Musical for his portrayal of Wilbur Turnblad in the Actors Playhouse production of Hairspray.

Entr’Acte Theatrix, along with their sister theatre company  the Palm Beach Principal Players, will present JESUS CHRIST SUPERSTAR at the Count de Hoernle Theatre (former home of the Caldwell Theatre Company).  The play will run for 10 performances – from July 5th through July 15th.

The dynamic rock musical by Andrew Lloyd Webber and Tim Rice is a musical interpretation of the final days of Jesus Christ that is not so much a story about religion as it is about the emergence of a charismatic rebel who surfaces among an oppressed people to pacifistically challenge the moral state of existing affairs – all told in the musical vernacular of rock ‘n’ roll, just like HAIR before it.

“JESUS CHRIST SUPERSTAR is now more relevant than ever, particularly with idealistic young people taking to the streets and challenging the political status quo from Egypt’s Tahrir Square to the occupiers of Wall Street’s Zuccotti Park.” says Entr’Acte Theatrix/Palm Beach Principal Players executive Producer Vicki Halmos.”

The talented 25-person cast includes:

John Justice Parker (Jesus) who first performed with Palm Beach Principal Players 10 years ago in The Who’s TOMMY at the Carefree Theatre while he was still a student at the Dreyfoos School of the Arts, where he received several awards from the Florida State Thespian Competition. Since then, he has concentrated his studies in acting, comedy/improv, Shakespeare, and musical theatre at Palm Beach State College, where he wrote, directed, and acted in independent student films. Mr. Parker also was involved with Last Call and P.A.’s Big Day at the Delray Beach Film Festival.

Anthony Nuccio (Judas) who is a graduate of the University of Miami, having earned a BM of Music Education & Theater.  A versatile musician who plays piano, guitar and saxophone, Mr. Nuccio’s incredible vocal range wows his hard rock fans, but he is equally proficient in opera and jazz. He has appeared in numerous hit shows throughout South Florida and in and around his hometown of Philadelphia, including Songs for a New World, The Last Five Years, Reefer Madness, Children of Eden and Pippin. 

Val Roche (Mary) is a graduate of the University of Miami’s New World School of the Arts, where she received a BM in Musical Theater.  Among her many theater credits in the Miami area are Urinetown, The Last Five Years, [Title of Show], and Smokey Joe’s Cafe.  In addition, she was seen in The House of Bernarda Alba at the Adrienne Arsht Center.  A skilled impersonator of Janis Joplin, Cher and Shakira, Ms. Roche is proficient in rock, pop, blues, and musical theater.

The Count de Hoernle Theatre is located at
7901 North Federal Highway in Boca Raton.
