Final Performance Today at 2 pm
Through October 8
Who is right, and who is wrong? David Mamet's play, Oleanna, asks this question, and leaves its audiences searching for, and often even arguing about the answer.
A powerful and thought provoking two-character drama, Oleanna is a play about academic politics, student/teacher relationships, and sexual harassment. The play explores the power struggle between John, a university professor, and Carol, one of his female students, who accuses him of sexual exploitation and, by doing so, spoils his chances of being accorded tenure.
With Sara Grant and Todd Bruno. Directed by Rosalie Grant

"Let's do the Time Warp again...."
Halloween is just around the corner, and who better to celebrate with than the denizens of Dr. Frank N. Furter's home-sweet-castle in Richard O'Brien's beloved cult classic, The Rocky Horror Show.
This beloved classic is an outrageous assemblage of - and humorous tribute to - the most stereotypical science fiction and horror movies, Marvel comics, Frankie Avalon/Annette Funicello outings and rock 'n' roll of every vintage. The play (upon which the classic film The Rocky Horror Picture Show is based) has grown from an experimental production originally produced in a small London theatre in June 1973, to a cult phenomenon with fans world-wide. The musical tells the story of a newly engaged couple who, when caught in a storm, find refuge in the home of a decidedly unusual scientist who is madly working towards unveiling his latest and greatest creation.

presents
On a sweltering summer morning in 1882, in Fall River Massachusetts, a prominent business man and his wife were brutally axed to death in their home. Their daughter, Lizzie Borden, was the prime suspect. Lizzie's trial was a coast-to-coast media sensation, and her story has become an integral part of American criminal mythology. Lizzie: The Musical Lizzie: The Musical is a vibrant, rollicking, rock musical telling of this legendary crime.
Although the show's music is primarily raucous, rock, and of the 'Riot Girl' genre, and its volume is definitely high, the play also offers a sensitive look at what could drive someone to (allegedly) commit such a heinous crime (Borden was acquitted of the murders after an all-male jury deliberated for just ninety minutes). It allows audiences to relate to the Borden sisters - Lizzie and Emma - in a way they might not have considered before. This emotional connection wouldn't be possible without the four incredible performers that make up the cast - Anne Marie Olsen, Sabrina Gore, Leah Sessa, and Hanna Richter.

First Time in Ft. Lauderdale!
February 1 - March 25, 2018
Every mother dreams her children will grow up to be happy, healthy, and successful. Every Jewish mother secretly - and often not so secretly - adds specifics to her wish: A doctor, a lawyer, a dentist, or these days, a Silicon Valley tycoon would make her very happy. Brad Zimmerman's mother has finally adapted to her 'actor-waiter' son's career choice and financial situation: "If all goes well, I think Brad is going to buy a bookcase," she boasts to her friends.
My Son the Waiter: A Jewish Tragedy
is the story of Brad Zimmerman's struggle to fulfill his dream and 'make it' as a comedic actor in New York. One-part standup, one-part theatrical, and all parts uproarious My Son the Waiter: A Jewish Tragedy has garnered rave reviews wherever it has played.
My Son the Waiter - A Jewish Tragedy

RESCHEDULED!
It could only take a hurricane to stop Belle Barth!
Therefore, due to Hurricane Irma,
Raunchy Little Musical - Belle Barth is Back!
has been rescheduled.
Belle will now blow into the PGA Arts Center on Friday, March 23rd, 2018
"If I embarrass you...tell your friends!"
Before Amy Schumer or Sarah Silverman...before Joan Rivers or Roseanne, Belle Barth was the original, irreverent female comic deflating anyone who dared take sex too seriously.
Raunchy Little Musical
is an evening with this pioneer of comedy, peppered with plenty of Belle Barth's original jokes, and interspersed with poignant moments from her private life and loves, as well as high and low comedy. With signature Belle Barth songs plus original numbers by Grammy-nominated composer Ilya Levinson with lyrics by Owen Kalt, the script of Raunchy Little Musical was penned by Joanne Koch, author of the Off-Broadway show Sophie, Totie & Belle.
