Photo Flash: Sneak Peak at Theatre at Arts Garages' 2016/2017 Season

Theatre at Arts Garage is proud to present their 2016/2017 season, which Executive Director Keith Garsson describes as, "Sex, blues and the supernatural." Garsson took over the theatre program last year and created an acclaimed season that thrilled audiences and critics alike with its exploration of the "darker side of love."

"This season we are taking everything a step further," he explained. "Longer runs, larger casts, greater cross-generational appeal. The themes and the canvas we will be working with will be broader."

Genie Croft, who directed two this current season's hits, will again be helming two on next year's shows. Productions will be divided between the mainstage and blackbox. The blackbox will now offer cabaret style seating and allow Bring Your Own Drinks and Food. For ticket informationwww.artsgarage.org or call 561-450-6357.
