Frederick Knott's Dial M for Murder is a psychological thriller - a character driven, carefully plotted, 'cat-and mouse' piece of theatre that is as contemporary now as it was when it first premiered on BBC television in 1952. 
 
Best known as a classic Alfred Hitchcock film, this 'noir' thriller was performed in London's West End and on Broadway several years before Hitchcock adapted it for the screen.   The play centers around former tennis star Tony Wendice and his scheme to have his wealthy wife murdered, after learning she has designated him her heir. Although Wendice's plans are evident almost from the outset, Knott's clever plotting and characterizations will keep audiences on the edge of their seats throughout the play.

"Dark secrets, anger, sadness, joy, love, laughter, and hope are woven into the fiber of this riveting new play about ordinary people under extraordinary circumstances.  A close family fragments when faced with a crisis and then comes together with unlikely heroes emerging. Sometimes strength can be a weakness and weakness a strength". Starring Avi Hoffman, Patti Gardner, Kim Ostrenko, Margot Moreland, Michael H. Small, and Robert Johnston.

The Critics are 'Wilde' about Earnest!

Thinking Cap Theatre is garnering rave reviews with it's outrageous and outrageously clever production of Oscar Wilde's The Importance of Being Earnest, A Trivial Comedy for Serious People at the Vanguard Sanctuary for the Arts, Ft. Lauderdale's exciting new arts' space.
Director Nicole Stodard has set the play in December 1978 - in disco-era New York City. Her imaginative staging, she explains "Is provocative, prurient, and of course, punny!"

The cast includes Carbonell Award-winning actors Karen Stephens and Clay Cartland, as well as Elizabeth Price, Carey Hart, Noah Levine, Jim Gibbons, Johnnie, Bowls, and Emma Magner.

Emotional combat comes to life as morals, values, humility and humanity are explored and dissected. The winner of the prestigious 2013 Lucille Lortel Award for Outstanding Musical, this critically acclaimed Off-Broadway show, based on the 1991 cult classic movie, centers on the unlikely, yet poignant romance between a young Marine and a shy, awkward waitress he meets the night before shipping out to Vietnam in 1963.
"Slow Burn Theatre team delivers an impressive show at the Broward Center"

Filled with wonderful songs, by turns hilarious and raucous, romantic and melodic, Once Upon a Mattress puts a rollicking spin on The Princess and the Pea - that familiar classic fairy tale of royal courtship and comeuppance provides for some side-splitting shenanigans. Did you know, for instance, that Princess Winnifred actually swam the moat to reach Prince Dauntless the Drab? Or that it wasn't the pea at all that caused the princess a sleepless night?

Sing Along With Us!
 
December 4 - 13 
Audiences at the Willow Theatre in Boca Raton's Sugar Sand Park are invited to spend an evening of music and nostalgia as The 4 Guyz harmonize, reminisce, and 'drift back to 'The Good 'Ole Dayz' of drive-ins, sock hops, greasers and hot rods' in
4 Ever '50s.
A treat for history buffs and music lovers alike, the show asks how many of the jingle s of that special era rattled off during the evening will audiences remember and sing along to? Can they name all the top television shows from the 1950's and early 1 960's? And of course, can they sing along to such
timeless classics as "Teenager in Love," "Blue Moon," "At the Hop," "Why Do Fools Fall in Love?" and many, many more.
