The South Florida Theatre League
Invites patrons to
‘Step Onto Our Stage’
And Experience a Free Night of Theatre
as part of the 2015 Summer Theatre Fest

May 14, 2015
MIAMI, FL: The Theatre League’s Summer Theatre Fest has become an integral part of South Florida’s cultural landscape, and this year, South Florida audiences will once again have the opportunity to see theatre for free, check out new plays in development by South Florida playwrights, and tell the world what the arts – and theatre – mean to them. The success of last summer’s Come Under Our Umbrella program and play reading series indicated to the League that theatre patrons are ready and willing to try new theatrical experiences, and even cross county lines to do it.

The theme governing this year’s Summer Theatre Fest activities is Step Onto Our Stage. A unique ‘step and repeat’ has been created especially for the program, featuring theatrical curtains in front of a wall imprinted with the League’s logo. Patrons will be invited to Step Onto Our Stage to be photographed or videoed ‘on stage’ as they are interviewed about their theatrical experiences, and the significance of the arts in their lives. The step and repeat, which made its ‘debut’ at the South Florida Theatre League sponsored Carbonell Awards ‘after party’, will travel to participating theatres throughout the summer.

Summer Theatre Fest: Each Monday from June 1 to August 31, a South Florida Theatre League member theatre will host a reading of a new play by a local playwright. Playwrights range from established local favorites, including Carbonell Award-winners and nominees, to emerging talents, with plays vastly ranging in subject matter and style. For more details, including a synopsis of each reading, please visit www.southfloridatheatre.com.

Free Night of Theater is an audience development program that has proved to be immensely popular since the League first introduced it in 2008. Free Night offers patrons an excellent opportunity to visit a venue they’ve never been to before, or sample a type of theatre they might not otherwise ever consider. Developed by the Theatre Communications Group (the national organization for American Theatre) about a decade ago to increase audiences, subsequent studies found that approximately 42% of patrons who attend a Free Night of Theatre return to that theatre and purchase tickets. So far, participating theatres include Actors’ Playhouse at the Miracle Theatre, Palm Beach Dramaworks, and Evening Star Productions, however several more theatres are expected to participate.

Patrons can sign up for tickets at summerfestfreenight.southfloridatheatre.com starting on June 10 for performances during the month of July. The window to enter the lottery will close on June 24, and patrons will find out if they have won tickets on June 29.

The South Florida Theatre League is “an alliance of theatrical organizations and professionals dedicated to nurturing, promoting, and advocating for the growth and prestige of the South Florida theatre industry”. To date, the League is the umbrella organization for close to 80 theatres between Key West and Jupiter.

The South Florida Theatre League Announces the 2014 Remy Awards

The South Florida Theatre League
celebrates the theatrical community’s
Unsung Theatrical Heroes

For Immediate Release
October 30, 2014

The South Florida Theatre League’s Remy awards, named in honor of Remberto Cabrera, the former Miami-Dade County Department of Cultural Affairs’ Senior Cultural Administrator and Chief of Cultural Development, are given annually for Outstanding Service, and for Pioneering in South Florida regional theatre.

This year the League has announced that the number of Remy Awards to be presented will increase from six to eight. (Last year, in honor of the League’s 20^th anniversary, the number of awards given was increased from two to six.)The two added categories will once again honor those members of the South Florida theatrical community who are not usually recognized by more traditional artistic awards. The Remy Awards will be handed out at the League’s annual holiday celebration on December 1^st at Stache in Ft. Lauderdale.

“We are honored to be able to present these awards to people who are such important members or our community,” says League president Christopher Jahn. “These are individuals whose contributions are absolutely key to the success of our theatres and productions, yet they often go unrecognized. This is our opportunity to say ‘thank you’.”

Along with the Service and Pioneer Awards, Remys will be presented for Outstanding Theatre Company Board Member, Outstanding Contributor to Community Theatre, Outstanding Contributor to Children’s Theatre, and Outstanding Behind the Scenes Theatre Professional. The two newest awards to be presented will be the Civic Arts Leadership Award, and the Jay Harris Arts Leadership Award.

Theatres and theatre producers were asked to nominate individuals they felt were deserving of recognition, and a Theatre League committee was tasked with choosing the winners.

This year’s Remy Award recipients are:

The Pioneer Award – Paul Tei – Mad Cat Theatre Company

The Pioneer Award is bestowed upon individuals who have, over the years, taken the lead and contributed substantially to the health, growth and development of the South Florida theatre community.

Paul Tei is a playwright, actor, director, designer, and the founder of Mad Cat Theatre Company. As he has stated, “To be safe and create art is a lie. There should be no separation from the art and the artist as well as the action on stage and the spectator. Theatre is a dialogue of deconstruction and within its limitlessness lie the key to a wide spectrum of illuminations.” Under his leadership, Mad Cat has earned a reputation for exceptional and unique theatre, and has received countless awards (in every year of the company’s existence) and innumerable accolades. He has directed almost every one of Mad Cat’s productions; he wrote or co-wrote many plays for the company; he added design elements to all; and even acted in a few. He has also directed in New York, San Francisco, Los Angeles, Nevada, New Hampshire, Vermont, Manchester, U.K. and the Edinburgh Fringe Festival in Scotland where he has always spread the word about Mad Cat Theatre Company and South Florida theatre scene. He has guest directed at many other South Florida theatre companies, including Mosaic Theatre, The Naked Stage, GableStage, and City Theatre. His theatre acting credits in South Florida (with the most recent being in MTC’s Hedda Gabbler) are numerous; he has received 5 acting Carbonell awards. As a member of SAG/AFTRA Paul has appeared in a number of television shows including: American Horror Story, Franklin & Bash, CSI Miami, Disney’s Zeke & Luther. His most notable role was as Barry the money launderer on Burn Notice.

The Service Award – Christine Dolen – Miami Herald

The Service Award is given to either individuals or organizations in recognition of their invaluable and outstanding contributions made through time, talent, service, and expertise by taking the initiative and actively participating and contributing to the growth and development of the South Florida Theatre League.

Christine Dolen’s contribution to the South Florida Theatre community has been ongoing and constant since she became Miami Herald’s theatre critic in 1979. She has earned the respect of the entire theatrical community, not to mention her peers – 1997, she was a member of the Pulitzer Prize drama jury; in 1999 she was a senior fellow in the National Arts Journalism Program at Columbia University. Chrstine is a member of the American Theatre Critics Association, and she was recently named as one of the top 12 influential theatre critics in the nation. Her reviews, articles, and blog posts are highly anticipated; a pre-show article, a selection as a ‘Pick of the Week’, or even a mention in one of her columns can do wonders for a production. Christine’s reviews are thoughtful and thought-provoking, and have consistently inspired theatres, companies, and performers to strive to meet the standards she expects from them. Her genuine passion and love for theatre is evident in all she does; her dedication to the South Florida Theatrical community is deep – and deeply appreciated.

The Civic Arts Leadership Award – Lois Frankel

The Civic Arts Leadership Award is a new award given to individuals in public service who have significantly supported the arts.

Lois Frankel has been a lifelong patron of the arts. As mayor of West Palm Beach, she recruited the Palm Beach International Photographic Museum, and brought the Ann & Don Brown Theatre, where Dramaworks now performs, to the city. She was a key participant in the revitalization of the downtown district – fueled by cultural events and the addition of performance and exhibition space at the Waterfront Pavilion.
Lois Frankel is a strong supporter of the NEA, and as mayor of West Palm Beach, she invested in the arts and sought out opportunities to bring the arts to the city. The 70 new businesses she recruited to downtown added a new vitality to the city, and that vitality is due at least in part to the positive impact of the arts in the area. She is a firm believer in arts education, and has long been a strong supporter of the Bak Middle School of the Arts in Palm Beach County.

The Jay Harris Arts Leadership Award – Kathy and Joe Savarese – Maltz Jupiter Theatre

Named in memory of one of South Florida’s most dedicated arts patrons, the Jay Harris Arts Leadership Award honors those who have made a substantial contribution to the theatrical community in the ways that Jay Harris did – through leadership, on-going volunteerism, and financial support.

Kathy and Joe Savarese have played an integral role in the success of the Maltz Jupiter Theatre. Not only have they generously supported the theatre since 2006, but they have also touched the hearts of many, and contributed to the awareness of the magic and charm the theatre brings to the local community. Their commitment has helped shape artistic excellence in our community for generations to come.
The Savarese’s love of sharing the arts has inspired them to sponsor a major production each year for the past five years. They consistently support all major events, not only financially, but enthusiastically. Their contributions have created opportunities for the entire region to not only experience the arts live, up close and in person, but to inspire, educate, and entertain. Thanks to their hands-on commitment and financial support the Maltz Jupiter Theatre has achieved recognition for artistic excellence. The Savares’s enthusiasm, passion, and outstanding presence at every event, every show, and every theatre milestone is truly what makes them deserving of this award.

Outstanding Board Member – Steven M. Weinger, Esq. – GableStage

GableStage Board of Directors President Steve Weinger is nationally recognized for his successful litigation on behalf of individuals with developmental disabilities. Yet while maintaining his active practice, Mr. Weinger manages to donate significant time to a number of not for profit organizations, including cultural and educational institutions, advocacy groups for the disabled, and non-profit health care providers. His contributions to GableStage include being a driving force behind raising funds to co-produce Tarell Alvin McCreney’s production of Anthony and Cleopatra with The Royal Shakespeare Company in London and The Public Theatre in New York.
“Steve Weinger has been the best President of our Board of Directors in the 16 years that I’ve been at GableStage”, says Producing Artistic Director Joe Adler. “He’s an attorney with a full practice — and yet he always makes time for my issues and concerns. His advice and counsel are invaluable — and I know I can always count on him.”

Outstanding Contributor to Children’s Theatre – John & Maria Rodaz – Area Stage Company

Although Area Stage had been a well-known theater production company staging professional productions for many years, in 2009 Maria and John Rodaz decided to create an acting conservatory for children and young adults that would carry all the rigors of a professional company. Area Stage’s conservatory program regularly produces student productions of the highest quality. Being part of these productions allows students to learn a high level of professionalism which takes them far when they graduate and leave the program, or branch out to perform outside of AreaStage even while still training there. Area Stage has also instituted a program of scholarships for young actors that do not have the financial means to pay conservatory rates.

Outstanding Contributor to Community Theatre – Alvin Entin – Pembroke Pines Theatre of the Performing Arts (PPTOPA)

Alvin E. Entin’s service to community theatre in general, and to Pembroke Pines Theatre of the Performing Arts in particular, has been continuous, persistent, and exemplary. As Chairman of the Board of PPTOPA for 17 years, Alvin has been one of the guiding lights of the company. He forged the agreement with the City of Pembroke Pines which enabled PPTOPA to maintain a healthy financial outlook, and remains the on the Liaison Committee to the City to this day. Alvin chaired the PPTOPA play selection committee from the beginning; he has been the company’s principal fundraiser, marketer, and legal counsel. He is also the face of PPTOPA, maintaining the company’s ticket booth at all productions. Alvin has served as an actor, assistant director and/or director, as well as artistic consultant on numerous PPTOPA productions. His high standards are reflected in the company’s productions, which are judged by critics and professionals in the area to be far beyond the normal perception of community theatre.

Outstanding Behind the Scenes Contributor – Gene Seyffer – Actors Playhouse

Gene Seyffer has been a behind the scenes man at Actors’ Playhouse nearly 20 years. Though he has designed sets here and there when called upon, his primary focus has been as Technical Director (which includes overseeing the scene shop) – making sure production design elements are linked together and built just right. He and his team of behind the scenes builders and technical personal at the theatre and in the shop constantly work under extreme pressure and deadlines. Some of Gene’s rewarding technical challenges have included August, Osage County, Miss Saigon, 1776, and Les Miserables. The job of a technical director can be a thankless one, and mostly unknown and unappreciated by the general public, but all who work in theatre know this job is critical to making a production work. Gene holds a MFA in Theatrical Design and Production from Northwestern University.

The South Florida Theatre League’s Annual Holiday Party promises to be an exciting event, as the Silver Palm Awards will also be presented that evening. The party will take place at STACHE at 109 South West Second Avenue in Fort Lauderdale, on Monday, December 1st at 7:30 pm. Admission is $25 for non-Theatre League members; there is no charge for League members in good standing.

She has been an active member of the board of directors the Women’s Theater Project and has dedicated her time and energy a number of theatrical projects. Her love of the theater allowed her to make amazing lifelong friends and share her commitment to the theater and the community.

Castellano is pleased, excited, and tremendously moved by the support she has received from the theatrical community, as well as from her friends and family since her diagnosis. Her plight has led to the formation of a support group, Team Chaos, whose mandate is to raise funds for, and awareness of her situation. They will actively support the event.

Among playwrights contributing to The Dana Plays are Andie Arthur, Christopher Demos-Brown, Jessica Farr, Tony Finstrom, Avi Hoffman, Michael McKeever, Juan C. Sanchez, Deborah Sherman, and Paul Tei.

The South Florida Theatre League
Invites patrons to
‘Come Under Our Umbrella’
and Experience a
Free Night of Theatre
as part of their
2014 Summer Theatre Fest

South Florida audiences will once again have the opportunity to see theatre for free, check out new plays in development by South Florida playwrights, and tell the world what the arts – and theatre – mean to them. The success of last summer’s Get in Bed With the Arts program and play reading series indicated to the League that theatre patrons are ready and willing to try new theatrical experiences, and even cross county lines to do it.

The South Florida Theatre League is the ‘umbrella organization’ for close to 70 theatres from Key West to Jupiter, and this year’s Summer Theatre Fest’s theme is Come Under Our Umbrella. Participating theatres have been given large white canvas beach umbrellas which they will decorate according to their mission, current production, or any other aspect of their company they would like to showcase. These umbrellas will be displayed at various readings and performances throughout Summer Theatre Fest and patrons will be encouraged Come Under Our Umbrella to talk about their theatrical experiences, and the significance of the arts in their lives.

Free Night of Theater is an audience development program that has proven to be immensely popular since the League first introduced it in 2008. Free Night offers patrons an excellent opportunity to visit a venue they’ve never been to before, or sample a type of theatre they might not otherwise ever consider. Developed by the Theatre Communications Group (the national organization for American Theatre) about a decade ago to increase audiences, subsequent studies found that approximately 42% of patrons who attend a Free Night of Theatre return to that theatre and purchase tickets. So far, participating theatres include Area Stage, Actors’ Playhouse, Delray Beach Playhouse, Palm Beach Dramaworks, Sol Children Theatre, and TheatreXP.

“All of our Summer Theatre Fest programing provides a chance for people to really get to know the variety of local talent available. There’s so much meaningful work happening at all levels and this provides a chance for the community to interact in exciting ways,” says South Florida Theatre League Executive Director Andie Arthur.

Patrons can sign up for tickets at summerfestfreenight.southfloridatheatre.com starting on June 9 for performances during the month of July. The window to enter the lottery will close on June 23 and patrons will find out if they have won tickets on June 27.

The South Florida Theatre League Celebrates its 20^th Anniversary
by honoring the region’s Unsung Theatrical Heroes.

November 14 2013

This year, in celebration of their 20^th anniversary, the League has announced that the number of Remy Awards to be presented will increase from two to six. The four new categories will honor those members of the South Florida theatrical community who are not usually recognized by more traditional artistic awards. The Remy Awards will be handed out at the League’s 20th Anniversary Celebration in December.

Along with the traditional Service and Pioneer Awards, Remys will be presented for Outstanding Theatre Company Board Member, Outstanding Contributor to Community Theatre, Outstanding Contributor to Children’s Theatre, and Outstanding Behind the Scenes Theatre Professional.

Theatres and theatre producers were asked to nominate individuals and organizations they felt were deserving of recognition, and a Theatre League committee was tasked with choosing the winners.

This year’s Remy Award recipients are:

The Pioneer Award — Adriana Perez, Miami Dade Cultural Affairs
For her role in supporting the development of new work and artists in our region, particularly her expansion of the Miami-Dade County Playwright Development Program – which was originally conceived by Rem Cabrera. Adriana also manages the Internal Cultural Exchange, Festivals, and Special Events and several programs for individual artists for the county. She works with The DeVos Institute of Arts Management at the Kennedy Center with its Capacity Building program, books the programs for school children at the Joseph Caleb Auditorium, and works in partnership with Miami-Dade County Public Schools’ Cultural Passport program.

Service Award – WLRN
For the countless ways WLRN promotes South Florida theatre. From Ed Bell’s weekly program Arts Beat to the comprehensive online arts calendar, to Cultural Connection which offers same day ½ price tickets to select productions, to sponsoring the WLRN and South Florida Theatre League’s Summer Theatre Fest, WLRN is and will continue to be the source for keeping everyone in South Florida aware of theatre in our community.

Outstanding Board Member — Alan Fein, City Theatre
For his outstanding service and dedication as founding Chair of City Theatre. Alan has been with City Theatre from its inception in 1996, as has his firm, Stearns Weaver Miller Weissler Alhadeff & Sitterson, which each year has been the title sponsor for Summer Shorts. He is a past Chair of the Miami-Dade County Cultural Affairs Council and the Chair-Elect of the Adrienne Arsht Center for the Performing Arts, Trust Executive Board.
.
Outstanding Contributor to Children’s Theatre — Rosalie Grant, Sol Children’s Theatre
For the dedication and many contributions that she and Sol Children Theatre have made to our next generation of theatre professionals, providing them with a safe, secure, and highly professional theatrical training experience. Those young people in turn provide quality theatre experiences for audiences of all ages. Rosalie has been at the helm of Sol since it opened in 2002, and has directed over 60 plays and musicals.

Outstanding Contributor to Community Theatre — Dennis Lyzniak, Main Street Players
For his many and varied contributions to Main Street Players as grant writer, children’s camp coordinator, technical director, producer, master carpenter, playhouse manager, and whatever other particular need the theatre has at any given moment. “He is the backbone of our theater group and has become the face of our theater although he has never appeared on stage.” Dennis’ background in engineering, his knowledge and experience, not to mention his creativity is evident in his construction of some of the finest sets in South Florida. And he does this with limited space at the Main Street Playhouse. On top of all of this, he has also taken on the role of producer for several shows in the last couple of years.

Outstanding Behind the Scenes Contributor –George Schiavone, Photographer
For his behind the scenes work – or as the case really is here – for his behind the lens work as a photographer extraordinaire. George has captured the work of countless theatre companies with an artistic flair – including (but not limited to) GableStage, Mad Cat, Mosaic, Naked Stage, Promethean Theatre, Zoetic Stage, Broward College, Alliance Theatre Lab, and NWSA.

The Pioneer Award is bestowed upon individuals who have, over the years, taken the lead and contributed substantially to the health, growth and development of the South Florida theatre community.

The Service Award is given to either individuals or organizations in recognition of their invaluable and outstanding contributions made through time, talent, service, and expertise by taking the initiative and actively participating and contributing to the growth and development of the South Florida Theatre League.

The Theatre League’s 20^th Anniversary Celebration and Annual Holiday Party promises to be an exciting event, as the Silver Palm Awards will also be presented that evening. The party will take place at STACHE at 109 South West Second Avenue in Fort Lauderdale, on Monday, December 2^nd at 7:30 pm. Admission is $25 for non-Theatre League members; there is no charge for League members in good standing.

Free Night of Theatre, Get in Bed with the Arts, South Florida Theatre, South Florida Theatre League

The South Florida Theatre League
Announces
WLRN sponsored Summer Theatre Fest Returns
with
Free Night of Theater and Brand New Programming

This summer, South Florida audiences will have a chance to see theatre for free, check out new plays in development by South Florida Playwrights, and tell the world what the arts – and theatre – mean to them.

The South Florida Theatre League is inviting Florida theatre patrons to Get in Bed with the Arts with the return of Summer Theatre Fest, sponsored by WLRN.

The 2013 Summer Theatre Fest will mark the introduction of the Summer Theatre Fest Play Reading Series, and the return of Free Night of Theater, an audience development program that has proven to be immensely popular since the League first introduced it.

“Both these programs offer great opportunities for theatres and the League to develop a more meaningful interaction with our community,” says South Florida Theatre League Executive Director Andie Arthur.

Free Night of Theater

Theatre Patrons looking to try something new can visit summerfestfreenight.southfloridatheatre.com and enter to win up to three pairs of tickets in two separate windows – one for shows between June 12 and July 15, and the other for shows between July 16 and August 15.

Free Night offers patrons an excellent opportunity to visit a venue they’ve never been to before, or sample a type of theatre they might not otherwise ever consider. Participating theatres include Actors’ Playhouse at the Miracle Theatre, Fort Lauderdale Children’s Theatre, GableStage, Lake Worth Playhouse, Mad Cat Theatre Company, Maltz Jupiter Theatre, Palm Beach Dramaworks, Sol Children Theatre, and Storycrafter Studio.

For performances between June 12 and July 15, patrons can enter to win up to three pairs of tickets beginning on May 28, with all entries finalized on June 7. All ticket winners will be notified by email on June 10th.

For performances from July 15 until August 15, patrons can enter to win up to three pairs of tickets beginning on June 24, with all entries finalized on July 8. Winners will be notified by email if they have won tickets on July 10.

The Theatre Communication Groups’ Free Night of Theatre was originally introduced as a three city pilot-program in 2005; the program’s the goal being to increase public awareness of the national theatre community, while in turn attracting new and non-traditional audiences to the theatre. During 2011’s Free Night of Theater over 400 participating organizations offered more than 55,000 tickets to over 1,800 performances in 19 states. The total value of the tickets offered was estimated at 1.75 million dollars! Historically, over 33% of patrons who attend a show offered at Free Night of Theater come back and buy a ticket at that theatre.

Summer Fest Free Night – the South Florida Theatre League’s version of the program, began in 2008. The South Florida Theatre League is grateful to the LA Stage Alliance, the performing arts service organization of Greater Los Angeles, for facilitating the enter-to-win lottery system.
Get In Bed With the Arts

Every Thursday throughout Summer Theatre Fest, the South Florida Theatre League will bring the Get in the Bed with the Arts bed, which debuted at the League’s Carbonell Award ‘After Party’, to a member theatre. Patrons will be interviewed on or beside the bed, and asked about what the arts – and theatre – mean to them. At the end of the summer, the bed will be entered in the Coconut Grove Bed Race.

The South Florida Theatre League Invites Theatres & Patrons to
Get in Bed with the Arts

The South Florida Theatre League is building a bed! Yes, a bed. Its cover will be a map listing all South Florida theatres; its bed skirt will contain the logos of the League’s member theatres; its head board will read Get in Bed with the Arts; and its footboard will feature the South Florida Theatre League logo and website address.
(Rendering of bed by Bombshell Productions)

The goal of the League’s Get in Bed with the Arts campaign, which will run in conjunction with WLRN’s Summer Theatre Fest program, is to raise awareness of the theatrical arts in the South Florida community.

The bed will make its debut at the 37^th annual Carbonell Awards ceremony on April 1^st at the Broward Center for the Arts, and will lead the way to the South Florida Theatre League sponsored after party/celebration; its final appearance will be as a participant in the annual Coconut Grove Bed Race on Labor Day weekend.

The bed will ‘visit’ League member theatres during Theatre Fest (June 1^st through August 31^st) on Thursday evenings (performance days only). Theatre patrons will be invited to participate in the fun – doing interviews, or having their photos taken on or next to the bed. The interviews and photos will be posted on the South Florida Theatre League’s website (www.southfloridatheatre.com/).

The bed was designed, built, and generously subsidized by Fort Lauderdale’s Bombshell Productions. TheatreMania is also a sponsor.

Many of the League’s member theatres are already on board (or in bed!) with the project. Some of the participating theatres are:

Actors Playhouse –
Adrienne Arsht Center – Slava’s Snowshow (July 31 – August 25)
Broadway Musical Theatre – Shrek the Musical (June 1 – 9)
FIU/Alternative Theatre Festival – A Hundred Thousand Years
Gable Stage – Cock (May 18– June 16)
The Lake Worth Playhouse – In the Heights (July 11-28)
Mad Cat Theatre Company – Blow Me (August 15 – September 1)
Sol Children Theatre – Wind in the Willows (August 9 – 25)

A complete list of participating theatres, their productions, and run dates will be announced in the near future.

Theatre patrons and potential theatre patrons will have the opportunity to try something new this summer: The South Florida Theatre League is proud to announce the Summer Fest Free Night as a part of the WLRN Summer Theatre Fest.

Patrons can log on to summerfestfreenight.southfloridatheatre.com and choose up to three theatrical productions they’d like to see. A lottery for those tickets will take place on Monday July 9^th, and patrons will be notified if they have won.

Free Night offers patrons an excellent opportunity to visit a venue they’ve never been to before, or sample a type of theatre they might not otherwise never consider.

“As someone who has to budget her entertainment spending wisely, I understand it can be difficult for patrons to try something new. Summer Fest Free Night will allow potential theatre patrons to experiment a little, at no cost to them, and hopefully to fall in love with a new theatre,” says Andie Arthur, the South Florida Theatre League executive director.

The Theatre Communication Groups’ Free Night of Theatre was originally introduced as a three city pilot-program in 2005, the program’s the goal being to increase public awareness of the national theatre community, while in turn attracting new and non-traditional audiences to the theatre. During 2011’s Free Night of Theater over 400 participating organizations offered more than 55,000 tickets to over 1,800 performances in 19 states. The total value of the tickets offered was estimated at 1.75 million dollars! Historically, over 33% of patrons who attend a show offered at Free Night of Theater come back and buy a ticket at that theatre.

Summer Fest Free Night– the South Florida Theatre League’s version of the program, began in 2008. The South Florida Theatre League is grateful to the LA Stage Alliance, the performing arts service organization of Greater Los Angeles, for facilitating the enter-to-win lottery system.

Summer Fest Free Night is one arm of the South Florida Theatre League’s promotions for Summer Theatre Fest. Patrons can also participate in A Taste of Summer Promotion. If a patron sees three Theatre League Member performances, they will be eligible to receive a $20 gift certificate to The Melting Pot, the popular restaurant that offers a truly unique dining experience created by the art of fondue.
