The Scene for October 5, 2012

It's hard to believe that it's already October; it seems like summer barely got started.  Other than the endless days of miserable heat and humidity, it's like summer never happened

But that means - IT'S OCTOBER!! THE 2012-2013 SEASON OFFICIALLY IS HERE! And it's going to be another great year of theatre for South Florida.

The Carbonell Awards ceremony has been announced for April 1, 2013 - no joke!  And sadly, it's not a joke that the Carbonell's executive director, Amy London, is leaving South Florida.  You might have heard that she recently became engaged to John Fionte.  He's based in Tennessee, and right after Christmas, she'll be based out of Tennessee, too.  Best wishes!  But who's going to direct the ceremony this year?  The world waits with bated breath.

Here's what's happening this week on The Scene:
