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!
