Who besides Mad Cat Theatre Company would take a talking cat, who persistently pees on the rug, and a professional pickup artist instructing wannabees how to pretend to be genuine – and meld them into a unified statement about fighting loneliness?

Miami’s Janet Dacal Comes Home From Broadway For “The Last Five Years”
Actors Playhouse director David Arisco teasingly asks the reporter doing a story on the upcoming musical The Last Five Years, “Don’t you want to take a picture of our Broadway star?’ His joke is that while former Miamian Janet Dacal qualifies for the soubriquet, Dacal seems as far from a temperamental egotistical diva as you can imagine. With a honey warm smile, flashing eyes and an unaffected demeanor, Dacal looks like the girl next door — if your neighborhood is Hialeah and the girl is the kind of fetching vision who half the boys have a crush on.

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.
Maltz’s Amadeus Luxuriates In Highly Theatrical Storytelling
Maltz Jupiter theatergoers need to manage their expectations of next week’s run of the play Amadeus, better known for the film about the mediocre composer Salieri’s rivalry with Mozart.
