The Scene for November 8, 2013

Jupiter Theatre unveiled its renovated theater this week, while the Broward Center celebrated the topping off if its new banquet facilities. It’s a good sign that theatre is healthy in South Florida.

We don't usually plug opera on The Scene, but we want to remind you that Florida Grand Opera’s very rare staging of Mourning Becomes Electra, a fifty year old opera whose previous productions could be counted on one hand, plays at the Broward Center starting this week. You can read up on it at Florida Theater On Stage, and  Broadway World.  And having peeked in on rehearsals, you don’t want to miss it.

 

Here's what's playing on the scene this weekend.


opening...

Zoetic Stage opens Christopher Demos-Brown’s Fear Up Harsh at the Arsht Center, through November 24.  You can read about it on The Miami Herald.

 

The Alliance Theatre Lab opens Savage in Limbo at the Main Street Playhouse this week.  We can’t remember any other local staging of this John Patrick Shanley play, which means it’s been a long time since it’s been done here.
