Season Tickets Now Available for Four Exciting Productions.
The award-winning Women’s Theatre Project and the Boca Raton Theatre Guild have joined forces and are offering patrons the opportunity to purchase subscriptions to their productions next season. For a total of $99, patrons will be able to attend four plays – two musicals produced by the Boca Raton Theatre Guild, and two plays presented by the Women’s Theatre Project.
Both the BRTG and TWTP operate out of the Willow Theatre at Sugar Sand Park in Boca Raton, and both companies have noted an increase in interest about the others’ productions by theatre-goers since the Women’s Theatre Project moved into the Willow to the last season. 
The fit is a natural one, says BRTG Artistic Director Keith Garsson: “By offering to combine our four shows into one package, Sugar Sand Park has enabled theatre goers to enjoy a wide range of productions from classics to edgy new comedies. We will still be able to maintain our level of professionalism, yet we hope to reach out to a wider fan-base and encourage more cross-over between audiences loyal to both companies before The Women’s Theatre Project moved here from Fort Lauderdale.”
Genie Croft, Artistic Director of the Women’s Theatre Project agrees: “This is another big move for us, especially since our original move last season to the Willow – and a part of our continuing growth,” she explains. “This partnership with The Boca Raton Theatre Guild allows both companies to offer an exciting season of outstanding plays and musicals to our patrons at a very affordable price. And it’s an extraordinary opportunity to showcase and highlight some of Florida’s best talent in drama, comedy, and musical theatre. It’s a perfect combination!”
The plays and musicals that will make up the two companies combined season are They’re Playing Our Song, the south eastern premier of Nicky Silver’s The Lyons, the current Broadway hit Pippin, and Red Hot Patriot: The Kickass Wit of Molly Ivins. Details about each production are below.
Subscriptions to the combined Boca Raton Theatre Guild/The Women’s Theatre Project are now on sale and can be purchased by calling the Willow Theatre Box Office at 561-347-3948. The subscription offer will expire with the final performance of They’re Playing Our Song, on November 24th. Tickets to individual performances are also on sale.
All productions 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.
