The Scene for July 10, 2009

There's no denying it: we're in the grip of summer, now. It's hot. It's damned hot. And it's humid, too. And don't tell US it's the one over the other; we got them both.

But we also have a lot plays to see. Plays in nice, cool, de-humdified theatres. Ahhhhh....

Beat the heat: see a show.


openings:

Married ALIVE! opens at the Actors' Playhouse at the Miracle Theater, and plays through Aug 16.

Vices: A Love Story premieres at the Caldwell Theatre, and runs through August 2.

The 24th International Hispanic Theatre Festival, presented by Teatro Avante at the Adrienne Arsht Center for the Performing Arts. It runs through July 26th. (In Spanish, some shows have subtitles: see website for details)

Still Jewish After All These Years: A Life in Theatre is being performed by its creator, Avi Hoffman, as the little theatre in Santaluces High School in Boynton Beach. It's his last-ditch attempt to raise money to save his troubled company, the New Vista Theatre. The tickets are modestly priced at $20, and I've actually played the Santaluces stage with a school tour a number of years back: it's a sweet little space, and conveniently located. Call 561-482-4144. It plays through August 2.
