The Wick Theatre Woos Former Caldwell Patrons At Reception
The Wick family doesn’t want to exorcise the Caldwell Theatre; they want to embrace it – and its clientele. An open house Tuesday hosted about 200 former Caldwell patrons seeking a peek ahead of the Sept. 19 opening night of The Sound of Music.
Summer Shorts Is, As Usual, A Daffy, Uneven, Goofy Smile
By Bill Hirschman Sometimes for actors, especially playing comedy, the only option is to jump off the cliff and see if you can fly. The miracle is that sometimes, as in City Theatre’s Summer Shorts, is that, indeed, they soar. …
Playing A Dolphin, Dracula and Mothra In Same Show: Everyday Challenge At Summer Shorts
Imagine you’re Ken Clement in City Theatre’s Summer Shorts opening this week. One minute he’s a dolphin, a few minutes later he;s Dracula and still later he has to find his inner Mothra. Performing in the annual festival of short plays, a rite of summer now in its 18th edition, requires talents they don’t dwell on in drama school.
AAPACT’s Amen Corner Is Flawed But Passionate Look at Faith And Organized Religion
AAPACT’S ambitious The Amen Corner is earnest and heartfelt although most of the time, the characters and their tragic spiral simply don’t feel genuine or organic.

Cannily, there is not a feather in sight during the entire 85-minute The Birds at the Mosaic Theatre — appropriate because the subject is not an eerie avian apocalypse, but how humanity reacts under extreme pressure. Conor McPherson’s adaptation is far more a sociological morality tale than Daphne du Maurier’s 1952 suspenseful novelette or Alfred Hitchcock’s 1963 pure thriller.
Last Call: The Sounds of Success
Don’t call Terri Girvin’s Last Call a solo piece when it returns to the Broward Center this week. She’s the first to say that the precisely timed sound effects ingrained into a comic monologue about her life as a bartender make her carefully choreographed odyssey more than a one-woman show.
Plaza’s Driving Miss Daisy Driven By Veteran Hands
The most affecting moments in the Plaza Theatre’s solid, entertaining production of the venerable Driving Miss Daisy are the fleeting grace notes that have no dialogue, moments that result from being in the capable hands of old pros.
