The Who’s ‘amazing journey’ begins at the Delray Beach Center for the Arts’ Crest Theatre on October 17th.

Rehearsal’s for Entr’Acte Theatrix upcoming production of The Who’s Tommy are well underway, but the cast recently took a ‘time out’ for a quick photo session.  All three Tommy’s were present, along with The Acid Queen, Captain and Mrs. Walker, Sally Simpson, Cousin Kevin, and Uncle Ernie.

The Who’s Tommy will run from October 17th through October 27th at the Delray Beach Center for the Arts’ Crest Theatre in Old School Square.

Entr’Acte’s recent production of Monty Python’s Spamalot was a near sell-out, and ticket sales indicate that Tommy will attract similar crowds.

Pete Townshend and Des McAnuff’s Tony Award-winning musical about a young boy who discovers a natural knack for pinball was one of the very first rock operas to play on Broadway, and opened the door to a new era of musical theatre.  Tommy is currently enjoying an extremely successful revival at the Stratford Festival in Stratford, Ontario, Canada.

Entr’Acte’s cast members include Alexander Zenoz as Tommy, Alexa Baray as Mrs. Walker, Sean Dorazio as Captain Walker, Ashley Gravelin as the Acid Queen, Greg Halmos as Cousin Kevin, and David Lamphier as Uncle Ernie.

2013-14 Season Collage2 copySouth Florida theatre is thriving.  At last count, the Theatre League of South Florida reported a membership of 58 theatres, with several new production companies waiting in the wings to join.

The 2013-2014 South Florida theatre season promises to be more exciting than ever.  Theatre companies have chosen a wide variety of plays – traditional and non – to populate their many stages, and audiences will have the opportunity to sample everything from Broadway classics and award-winning dramas to rock operas, madcap comedies, and children’s theatre.

Although many are familiar with the larger venues in the area – The Broward Center for the Performing Arts, The Kravis Center for the Performing Arts, and Miami’s Adrienne Arsht Center for the Performing Arts, there are a number of excellent smaller, interesting, and reasonably priced local theatres definitely worth visiting.

Boca Raton hosts several well respected theatre companies.  The award-winning Women’s Theatre Project and the Boca Raton Theatre Guild both operate out of the Willow Theatre at Sugar Sand Park.  This state of the art theatre seats 155 patrons.  There is ample parking available, and the surrounding park is a delightful setting for a pre-theatre picnic. This year, the two companies have joined forces to offer patrons the opportunity to purchase subscriptions to their productions.  For a total of $99, patrons can attend four plays – two musicals produced by the Boca Raton Theatre Guild, and two plays presented by the Women’s Theatre Project.

The Boca Raton Theatre Guild will also team with Peter J. Loewy this season, and together they will co-produce Respect: A Musical Journey of Women at the Mizner Park Cultural Arts Center.  Respect originated in South Florida, and Loewy was not only its first director, but one of the prime developers of the ever-popular show.

Parade Productions is one of Boca Raton’s newer companies. Their mission, “to produce high quality theatre experiences that entertain, enlighten inform, uplift and inspire”, is reflected in their choice of plays.  This season’s production, The Last Schwartz has been praised as being ‘rollicking, sad, shocking, goofy, and thoughtful…’  Their home, at the Mizner Park Cultural Arts Center’s Studio Theatre, is easily accessible, and free, metered, or valet parking is available.

Sol Children Theatre offers theatre for the entire family.  Now entering their 11th year, this company of young performers, under the direction and guidance of Rosalie Grant, produces a number of quality productions each year.  Located on Federal Highway just south of Spanish River Boulevard, Sol is a small black box theatre.  It seats 77, including child sized front row seating for their younger audiences.  This year they are debuting a new production company, Evening Star Productions, which will focus on plays for more for mature audiences, and feature adult, professional actors, as well as young people working towards a career in theatre.

For those who would venture north to Delray Beach, Entr’Acte Theatrix will follow up this past summer’s highly successful production of Monty Python’s Spamalot with The Who’s Tommy at the Delray Beach Center for the Arts at Old School Square.

Steve Solomon will bring his comedic recollections back to the The Lyric Theatre, The Kravis Center for the Performing Arts, and the Coral Springs Center for the Arts …And the Broward Stage Door Theatre in Coral Springs has a dozen productions planned between September 2013 and July 2014.

Below is a list, in chronological opening night order, of just some of the theatres, theatre companies, plays (and one musical group), that will be on stage this season, along with brief descriptions of each production. Group rates are available for every one of these productions. Mark your calendars and purchase your tickets soon!

The Broward Stage Door Theatre will present 12 plays and musicals openingpage-2-1between August 30, 2013 and July 6, 2014.  Included in their schedule are 9-5: The Musical, Stephen Sondheim’s Company, Sophisticated Ladies, featuring the music of Duke Ellington, Twilight of the Golds, Crimes of the Heart, and The Last Night of Ballyhoo.

Nicky Silver’s outrageously funny and stirring play about a family coming to terms with the impending death of its patriarch received glowing reviews when it ran on Broadway in 2012.   The play focuses on Rita Lyons and her grown children, who, as they gather to say goodbye, learn that despite being a family, each of them is totally isolated. Afraid of closeness and solitude, they are pushed into a new arena – the human connection.

Entr’Acte Theatrix to present ‘The Who’s Tommy’ – October 17 – 27

Entr’Acte Theatrix
presents
Tommy
tommy ck copy

The Who’s iconic rock opera is a tribute to hope, healing, and the human spirit.


Entr’Acte Theatrix will follow up their extremely successful summer production of Monty Python’s Spamalot with The Who’s Tommy.  The show will run from October 17th though October 27th at the Delray Beach Center for the Arts’ Crest Theatre at Old School Square.

Peter Townshend’s Tony Award-winning tale of a young boy – a ‘deaf, dumb and blind kid’ – who survives the painful traumas, abuses, and neglect of his childhood and reaches the heights of adoration as a cult figure through his talent as a ‘pinball wizard’ – is not a typical musical. Based upon the fourth album (released in 1969) by the famed British rock band The Who, this fast paced, ground-breaking rock opera is told almost completely musically – there is very little dialogue.

Roger_Blankenship“I was kind of in another world during the era of Tommy,” says musical director  Roger Blankenship. (The album was inducted into the Grammy Hall of Fame in 1998 for “historical, artistic and significant value.”)  “Listening to the music brings back some distant memories, and sounds that I am looking forward to recreating.  It was a time of … dare I say….purer ? rock.  A couple of years ago I did the show Hedwig and the Angry Inch, which has some of these similar tones, and it was a lot of fun.  Kevin Black is a magician, and the performers of Entr’acte are energetic and hard working – this promises to be a great show.”

Director Kevin Black agrees: “The Who’s Tommy is an extremely excitingkevin_black project to take on, for many reasons,” he says. “South Florida has not seen a large scale production of this show in many years and we plan to deliver just that. This multi-media rock opera was truly an original and is adored by its many fans. We want to keep the integrity of the production, as well as bring new life to this wonderfully scored piece of theatre. The heart of the story lies within a family struggling to hold it together in a time of war, angst, protest and the British revolution of music.”

Entr’Acte’s cast includes a number of new faces, including Alexa Baray, Cristina Flores, and Alexander Zenoz as Tommy.  Returning to the company are Ashley Gravelin, Greg Halmos, Nick Williams, Cindy Thagard, Rio Petersen and twins Danica and Alexa Taylor.

Entr’acte Theatrix, is a not-for-profit, semi-professional, showcase company for young actors, providing performance opportunities for emerging theatre artists.  An off-shoot of the Palm Beach Principal Players, an acting company for theater students of high school and college age, Entr’acte, as the name suggests, is the “next step,” from classroom to career, and provides the young actor his or her first professional, all-important, resume-building credit.

The Who’s Tommy will run from October 17th to October 27th 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 $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.
