delraybeachplayhouse.com 2018-2019 SEASONDELRAY BEACH PLAYHOUSE 1 DEAR PATRONS,
elcome back to the Delray Beach Playhouse as Wwe celebrate our 72nd Season at one of the most treasured community theaters in Florida!
Kevin Barrett The history of this hidden gem on the shores of Lake Executive Director Ida dates all the way back to the 1940s. Since then, our community theater has undergone many changes, but one thing has never changed – our strong desire to provide you with the very best in entertainment at an affordable price.
It’s an exciting time these days and nights at the Playhouse as we wrap up our critically-acclaimed season and begin preparations for another blockbuster year filled with the best plays, musicals, dramas, concerts, new cabaret series, children’s theater, national tours and special events, and much, much more. We hope you like our upcoming schedule, there is truly something for everyone!
We have also highlighted the many benefits of joining our Donor Family this year. Please note some of our newly added benefits – including exclusive access for Donors to the best seats in the theater for any added shows throughout the season.
Year after year, an extraordinary group of volunteers helps the Playhouse produce more than 150 different performances. Actors, technical crew, stage managers, ushers, set builders, and many others from all across South Florida gather together each season to help our legendary Artistic Director Randolph DelLago make the magic happen here in Delray Beach.
Without you, our Patrons and Donors and Members, the Playhouse would cease to exist. So, our Team behind the scenes, the Playhouse Staff, would like to thank you for all your support all these many years! We are truly grateful for your patronage.
We know you love the Playhouse as much as we do, so please know that we are working hard every day behind the scenes, planning for the future, to help keep community theater alive at The Delray Beach Playhouse for many more years to come.
All the best to you this coming season! See you at the shows!
Sincerely, Kevin Barrett

Elvis Presley even had a hit with his song “Blue Hawaii.” His Broadway shows also included GENTLEMEN PREFER BLONDES, the show that made Carol Channing a star and (later) showed the world that Marilyn Monroe could sing with songs like “I’m Just a Little Girl from Little Rock” and “Diamonds Are a Girl’s Best Friend.”

Fascinated by Gypsy’s “Mama Rose,” Laurents agreed to write the show with Jule Styne and Stephen Sondheim. Together, they created a Broadway phenomenon many critics still regard as the best American Musical ever written! It certainly boasts one of Broadway’s finest scores, featuring songs like “Everything’s Coming Up Roses,” “Some People,” “Together (Wherever We Go),” “Let Me Entertain You,” “Small World,” “If Mama Was Married” and the shop-stopping “Rose’s Turn.”

Later, he conquered Broadway with hit musicals like WHERE’S CHARLY?

The shows (and songs) he brought to life include KNICKERBOCKER HOLIDAY (“The September Song”), Rodgers and Hart’s BY JUPITER (“Wait Till You See Her”), ANNIE GET YOUR GUN (it was Logan who suggested Irving Berlin write “There’s No Business Like Show Business” to cover a scene change!), SOUTH PACIFIC (“Some Enchanted Evening,” “Younger Than Springtime” and the rousing “There Is Nothing Like a Dame,” which Logan famously choreographed as well!) and Harold Rome’s musicals FANNY and WISH YOU WERE HERE (both remembered for their wonderful title songs). delraybeachplayhouse.com DELRAY BEACH PLAYHOUSE 17 * MUSICAL MEMORIES MUSICAL

delraybeachplayhouse.com DELRAY BEACH PLAYHOUSE 27 ABOUT OUR CHILDREN’S THEATRE
YOUNG ACTORS’ WORKSHOP: Available Fall 2018 & Winter 2019
CHILDREN’S THEATRE CHILDREN’S Our Young Actors’ Workshop started some 23 years ago with 7 children and 2 teachers, of which one – our Ms. Dolly – continues to teach and direct the acting classes and shows. Workshops are available for students from ages 6-18 years old, and consist of drama, diction, improv, music, singing and dance. In addition, Ms. Dolly has audition classes for those students trying to secure a position in an arts school, as well as private instruction.
SUMMER MUSICAL PRODUCTION: Each year, we put on one major musical for children (of all ages), by our talented child actors/singers/dancers. Auditions are in April, and rehearsals start on the weekend in May and full days (Monday-Friday) after school is out in June. Children have fun while learning what it takes to put on a major production. We have two public and over 20 camp performances (other Summer Camps from Sunrise to Jupiter to Pahokee pack 238 campers in each of these performances).
SUMMER FUN CAMP: Our Summer Fun Camp is a weekly camp that generally runs for three to four weeks every summer. Campers from ages 6-16 years old gain hands-on experience in drama, music and dance, and have a really great time!
Each week, the children are broken into groups to write and rehearse their own skit(s) and to participate in a song-and-dance number. Additionally, every Friday, campers perform in their weekly presentation of “Live from The Delray Beach Playhouse, It’s Friday Afternoon.”
We also have several other children’s programming options throughout the year, including musical readings, talent shows, opportunities for teenagers to learn backstage skills, and more!
