by Guest Blogger: Daniella Ignacio - Jun 7, 2016
There's nothing quite more heart-warming than seeing little kids being introduced to theatre. From the giant crowd of kids dancing on the plaza while Barry DeBois of the Once national tour leads them in singing 'Supercalifragilisticexpialidocious' as a pre-show activity, to the children chattering excitedly in the rows directly in front of and behind me as the show was about to begin, I was reminded of the giddiness and pure joy I felt going to see theatre as a child. And as I watched the incredible child actors, teenagers, and professional adult performers that comprised the cast of Mayo Performing Arts Center's production of Mary Poppins, I was reminded of the passion that I still have for it today.

by Beau Higgins - Feb 12, 2011
Rising Action Theatre is honored to present the South Florida Premiere of the Tony Award-winning Grey Gardens, the Musical. Based on the highly acclaimed 1975 Maysles Brothers film documentary, it is the story of Jackie Kennedy's relatives 'Big Edie' Bouvier Beale and her adult daughter 'Little Edie' and the overgrown, crumbling East Hampton mansion they shared for decades. Set at the Grey Gardens mansion, the musical follows the progression of the lives of the two Edies from their original social status as wealthy and polished aristocrats in the 1940's to their eventual existence as penniless eccentrics in a crumbling home. But, the real focus is clearly on the unending psychological struggle between a mother and a daughter. The story is joyous, heartwarming, sad, and funny.
