The Scene for October 28, 2011

For  your Halloween pleasure, there is not one but two productions of The Rocky Horror Show to choose from, although only one of them plays on Halloween.  Speaking of Halloween treats, you can sit in on the radio drama War of the Worlds this coming Monday at The Caldwell Theatre Company. Details can be found HERE.

So here's what's playing on The Scene this weekend:

opening...

Guys and Dolls opens at the Stage Door Theatre, where it will play through December 4th.


you still haven't missed...

The Caldwell Theatre Company has the critics raving about After The Revolution, Through November 20.

Rising Action Theatre offers a surprisingly strong production of Thrill Me:The Leopold and Loeb Musical. It plays at the Sunshine Cathedral through November 20, 2011.

The Actors' Playhouse production of Hairspray plays at The Miracle Theater through November 13, 2011.  It features the Playhouse's artistic director, David Arisco, as Edna Turnblad.

The Women's Theatre Project  presents Women Drivers at Sixth Star Studios through November 6, 2011, in Fort Lauderdale's funky F.A.T. Village Arts District.

Head straight up Flagler from the FAT Village to see the Infinite Abyss production of Mitzi's Abortion at Empire Stage.  It plays through November 5th.

The Stage Door Theatre's production of Lend Me A Tenor plays through November 13.


last chance to see...

The collaboration of the  University of Miami Theatre Department and the Arsht Center to present a Nilo Cruz translation of Federico García Lorca’s The House of Bernarda Alba ends its run at the Arsht's Carnival Studio Theater this Sunday, October 30.

The critically acclaimed production of Edith Can Shoot Things and Hit Them  at New Theatre closes this Sunday, October 30, 2011. 

Slow Burn Theatre's return engagement of The Rocky Horror Show closes this Saturday, October 29, after its final show at midnight.  Well, technically, that's Sunday morning October 30, but if you wait until Sunday to go, you'll miss it.

But if you do, the Andrews Living Arts Studio production of The Rocky Horror Show plays through to a special Halloween show on October 31.


passing through...

The Addams Family plays through October 30 at the Adrienne Arsht Center for the Performing Arts.  It opens November 8 at the Kravis Center in West Palm, where it plays through November 13.

Mamma Mia makes yet another foray into South Florida at the Kravis Center, through October 30.  This tour has appeared on The Scene at least once a year since we started.  It may have something to do with the surprisingly large portion of the production that calls South Florida home.

The Gusman Center offers What My Husband Doesn't Know, through October 30.


for kids...

Actors' Playhouse presents Alexander and the Terrible, Horrible, No Good, Very Bad Day on Saturdays through November 19.
