Boca Raton Theatre Guild Announces 2010 2011 Season

The Boca Raton Theatre Guild
Announces its
2010 -2011 Season
and an Exciting Change of Direction

Along with revealing their crowd-pleasing line-up for the 20101-2011 season, the Boca Raton Theatre Guild has also announced it will now offer competitive compensation for actors, an occasional Equity contract, and will continue to employ top-notch directors such as Genie Croft. "I see this as a major move forward in our evolution," says BRTG Artistic Director Keith Garsson. "We've been thinking along these lines for a while now, and the success we had with this summer's run of The Year of Magical Thinking with (Equity member and Carbonell Award winning actress) Angie Radosh just confirmed it - our audiences demand and enjoy quality. We believe this new policy will be attractive not only to our audiences, but to actors and directors as well."

2010-2011 BRTG patrons will be treated to a comedy - Bill Corbett and Kira Obolensky's Hate Mail, and two theatrical classics - Neil Simon's Broadway Bound, and John Kander and Fred Ebb's beloved musical Cabaret. The Guild's 12th Annual Play Reading Festival will round out the season. 

Hate Mail, Corbett and Obolensky's snappy and satirical response to A.R. Gurney's Love Letters (presented by the Guild in 2009), is once again an epistolary piece: Preston, a spoiled rich kid meets his match in Dahlia, an angst-filled artist. Their worlds collide when Preston sends a complaint letter that gets Dahlia fired from her job - and then there's no turning back. The play follows their increasingly crazed correspondence as they move from hate to love, and then right back again. (December 3-12, 2010)

In Neil Simon's acclaimed autobiographical play, Broadway Bound, brothers Eugene and Stanley Jerome are trying to break into the world of show business as professional comedy writers while trying to cope with their parents' marital strife. When their material is broadcast on the radio for the first time, their family's reaction is anything but typical. The New York Times reported that Broadway Bound "...contains some of the author's most accomplished writing." (January 7-January 16, 2011) 

The seedy Kit Kat Klub, serves as a fascinating backdrop in the Broadway classic Cabaret. Set in 1931 Berlin as malevolent forces are coming into power, the musical tells two love stories - that of 19-year-old Sally Bowles and her affair with American writer Cliff Bradshaw, and the touching tale of the elderly Herr Schultz and Frau Schneider, both of whom are trying for a second chance at love. The multiple Tony Award winning musical contains many well known musical numbers, including "The Money Song", "Willkommen", and the title song, "Cabaret". (February 25-March 13, 2011) 

Running for three performances only, the Boca Raton Theatre Guild's 12th Annual Play Reading Festival will once again feature short original works by emerging playwrights from across America. (April 16-17, 2011) 

All productions will take place in the Willow Theatre in Sugar Sand Park. The theatre is located at 300 South Military Trail in Boca Raton, just south of Palmetto Park Road.
