On a barren stretch of road, near a single nondescript tree, two vagabond men wait for someone or something named Godot. Their hope seems to be that the mysterious Godot will change their lives for the better. Two strangers arrive, one man at the end of another's rope. A boy also appears and disappears.
The simplicity of the description of Waiting for Godot belies its depth and complexity. Critics, scholars, and audiences have read numerous interpretations into Beckett's work - philosophical, religious, political, and social references have been cited and discussed since the play's world premiere in Paris in 1953 - it was Beckett's first professionally produced play - and its North American premiere at Florida's Coconut Grove Playhouse in 1956. In a poll conducted by the British Royal National Theatre in 1990, Waiting for Godot was voted the 'most significant English language play of the 20th century.'
Rave reviews and a Carbonell Recommendation for
Evening Star's Waiting for Godot:
"Hang Around for This Waiting for Godot"
~ Rod Hagwood - Sun-Sentinel. Click HERE to read more.
"The Meaning Of Life's A Joke In Evening Star's Waiting For Godot"
~ Bill Hirschman - Floridatheateronstage.com. Click HERE to read more.
Waiting for Godot :
"As you turn this play over and over, trying to identify head from tail, the talent and hard work of the cast and crew is hard to ignore. Under Rosalie Grant's sharp direction, the quintet execute Beckett's difficult but rewarding work with aplomb. Taxing on the body and complex on the mind, the actors make physical comedy and choreographed movements look easy. It's not."

"Tommy Koenig is so talented and energetic as a performer, and has such an insightful and entertaining take on American pop culture, his show was a joy to watch from beginning to end." The Jewish Journal, May 2016
Comedy Central/National Lampoon star Tommy Koenig's 'one man musicomedy',
Baby Boomer Baby is an energetic, entertaining, and very funny 'flashback through our times and the music that defined them'.
Born in Brooklyn, New York, in 1953, the year Rock and Roll was born, and raised in Rockaway Beach, the son of a musician who played with Glenn Miller during World War II, Koenig was greatly influenced by chance meetings with John F. Kennedy and later George Carlin, and mostly by what the Beatles brought - the influence of music on Boomers' culture and personal choices. In Baby Boomer Baby Koenig recounts the years he struggled to keep up with the changing times, just missing Woodstock by a few miles; the rites of passage of College, Travel, Sex, and Drugs; and the ever changing cultural and political landscape that music unleashed as it morphed from Disco to Punk to MTV to Rap and beyond.
During the show Koenig channels dozens of well-known - and original - characters in a one man tour de force spanning 7 decades. With original songs and parodies of everyone from The Beatles to Lady Gaga, and from Doo Wop to Hip Hop, Koenig's impressions include Elton John, Billy Joel, Blondie, Willie Nelson, Tina Turner, Bruce Springsteen, The Bee Gees, and the Eagles, among others.

Summer Fest is Coming Soon!
South Florida audiences will once again have the opportunity to see theatre for free, check out new plays by South Florida playwrights, and attend theatres they might not usually visit when
The South Florida Theatre League's Summer Theatre Fest begins in early June.
Almost every Monday from the beginning of June through the end of August, a South Florida Theatre League member theatre or theatre company will host a reading of a new play by a local playwright. Playwrights range from established local favorites, including Carbonell Award-winners, to emerging talents, with plays vastly ranging in subject matter and style.
Information about each play, as well as dates, times, and performance locations will be posted on the South Florida Theatre League website:
The South Florida Theatre League is an alliance of theatrical organizations and professionals dedicated to nurturing, promoting, and advocating for the the growth and prestige of the South Florida theatre industry.
