The Scene for March 11, 2011

We're at the peak of theater season here in South Florida, and what better way to celebrate than with an ersatz "Letts Fest" in Coral Gables?  Actors' Playhouse and Gablestage are both opening plays by the award-winning playwright.  Did they co-promote?  Not that we've been able to see; apparently they completely missed the opportunity.
