WEST PALM BEACH, FL:  Entr’Acte Theatrix in collaboration with Theatre of Collaborative Arts will present Disney’s Beauty and the Beast at the William G Skaff Center from June 14th through June 30th. 

Based on the beloved Disney movie, Beauty and the Beast is filled with magical moments, spectacular costumes, and of course, a classic love story.  The award-winning musical, which played for thirteen years on Broadway, can be described as the perfect family entertainment – and a marvelous introduction to theatre for children of all ages. 

This ‘tale as old as time’ tells the story of Belle, a young woman in a provincial town, and the Beast, who is really a young prince trapped under the spell of an enchantress. If the Beast can learn to love and be loved, the curse will end, and he will be transformed into his former self. But time is running out, and if the Beast does not learn his lesson soon, he and his household will be doomed for all eternity.

“I’m quite excited to be bringing this classic show to the stage in a new way,” say’s the production’s director Carlo Sabusap. “We’re hoping to present a modernized interpretation to the show in an intimate and immersive setting. The text, by Linda Woolverton and Alan Menken, will remain the same, but some of the context will be updated for today’s audiences while keeping the essential recognizable elements intact. I am very proud of our cast, they understand the importance of the story immensely, as any Disney fan would. Our audiences will leave with some fun memories, and we hope that they also take with them some of the Disney magic we present on the stage.”

“Entr’Acte Theatrix has a tradition of promoting young artists who have honed their skills working in Entr’Acte productions to director positions,” says Entr’Acte Theatrix founder and Executive Producer Vicki Halmos. “At Entr’Acte, our practice is to engage local emerging talent, and give them continuing support and opportunities to polish and enhance the skills they have learned in their various theatre training programs.”

Several Beauty and the Beast cast members were part of the Halmos’ Palm Beach Principal Players group several years ago, and are now back with freshly minted theatre degrees, and looking for the on stage and back stage experience Entr’acte provides.  

“We don’t only provide on stage experience,” Halmos continues, “We have expanded our focus to include tech opportunities as well. Anyone working on our production will also be engaged with Theatre of Collaborative Arts and be gaining off-stage theatre skills, such as stage managing and all aspects of the process of the creation of theatre. The participants in our cast also do lighting, video, sound, and work on the overall design of the show – mastering these tasks will hopefully open opportunities for them to use their skills in other productions in South Florida. We hope our South Florida audience will continue to support local theater and Entr’Acte Theatrix in developing a world class body of actors and creative teams.”

Beauty and the Beast will be choreographed by Sarah Kenny.  The show’s Musical Director is Ed Kolz.  Costumes are by Rosseroni Parris, and Props will be handled by Rose Foster.  Sound is by Keri Ngo, the production’s Technical Director and Lighting Designer is Elizabeth Southwell, and the Stage Manager is Nik Rosa.

Sabusap’s cast includes James Alex Gomez as the Beast, Rose Foster as Belle, Esqui as Gaston, Greg Halmos as Lumiere, John Douglas as Cogsworth, Jamie Mattox as Mrs. Potts, Kole Rosin as Le Fou, Lilly Gomez as Chip, Sebastian Rukes as Maurice, Mia Rubins as Babette, Sarah Kenny as Enchantress, Nik Rosa as Monsieur D’Arque, and Nicole Hernandez as Madame Le Grande Bouche//Ensemble.

Disney’s Beauty and the Beast will run from June 14 – 30. Ticket prices range from $15 – 35 and are available online HERE or by calling 877-849-5327.  Performances are on Friday and Saturday at 7:30 pm, and Saturday, and Sunday at 2 pm.  All performances will take place at the William G Skaff Center, 500 Spencer Drive, in West Palm Beach (33409).

WEST PALM BEACH, FL:  A deviously delicious Broadway horror comedy rock sci-fi musical, Little Shop of Horrors has devoured the hearts of theatre-goers for over 40 years. In fact, it is currently enjoying an extremely successful run Off Broadway.   Entr’Acte Theatrix will present this beloved cult classic, created by Howard Ashman and Alan Menken (Disney’s The Little Mermaid, Beauty and the Beast, and Aladdin), from November 9th through November 19th at the William G. Skaff Center in West Palm Beach.

“Over 20 years ago, we produced this show,” says Entr’Acte Theatrix Founder and Producer Vicki Halmos.  “I was researching by phone possibilities for the puppets used to portray Audrey II, when the morning news was interrupted by the events of 9/11, which I watched live TV. I decided to proceed with that production, to keep some level of normalcy going in my life and that of the cast and crew. As our production proceeded, I saw many parallels between the events of 9/11 and the message of Little Shop. Now, 20 years later, with this new production, we have another evidence of an evil force with the intention of ‘coming to eat the world whole”, with the events of Israel’s current challenge with the horrendous forces of evil. But, beyond the ironic parallel between these productions of Little Shop, we are fiercely working towards an excellent production to present to our community and let them draw their own conclusions.  By the way, though, I highly doubt that the writers of Little Shop had this ironic analogy in mind when they wrote this entertaining piece of musical theater.” 

Meek floral assistant Seymour Krelborn stumbles across a new breed of plant he names “Audrey II” – after his coworker crush. This R&B-singing carnivore promises unending fame and fortune to the down and out Krelborn as long as he keeps feeding it…blood. Over time, though, Seymour discovers Audrey II’s out of this world origins and intent towards global domination!

“I am very excited to be helming Little Shop of Horrors,” says the show’s Director, Carlo Sabusap.  “Little Shop is one of those great classic Broadway musicals that reaches out to all audiences in its comedy, its sincerity, and its music. Our production will have some unique elements that I am sure will give those who experience it something to talk about, while preserving the memorable moments masterfully created by writer Howard Ashman and composer Alan Menken. I am so proud of the magic this cast and crew is creating, and I hope that the audience will feel the same magic that I see in them.”

Sabusap’s Little Shop of Horrors cast includes Ryan Townsend as Seymour Krelborn, Aletta Kemp as Audrey, Murphy Hayes as Mr. Mushnik, Chase Stante as Audrey II, Greg Halmos as Orin Scrivell, Pamela Hankerson as Ronette, Sarah Romeo as Crystal, Jamie Wade as Chiffon, Nik Rosa as Puppeteer/Swing, Sebastian Rukes and Nicole Hernandez as Ensemble/Swings, and Kai as Ensemble.

The production’s Music Director is Roger Blankenship, and the Assistant Music Director is Ed Kolcz.  The show’s Music Captain is Ryan Townsend, Kai is the show’s Choreographer, Costumes are by Ashley Carlisle, and Sets and Sound are provided by Theatre of Collaborative Arts.  The Production Stage Manager is Elizabeth Southwell.

Entr’Acte Theatrix
to present
Richard O’Brien’s
The Rocky Horror Show
September 13th – 22nd

“So, come up to the lab and see what’s on the slab!” ~ Frank N. Furter

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.
