The word “intimate” almost feels like an understatement when it comes to Palm Beach Dramaworks’ production of Lynn Nottage’s seminal 2003 play Intimate Apparel. Loosely inspired by a photograph Nottage found of her seamstress great grandmother, the play takes place in early 20th century New York and gives us a glimpse into the life of Esther Mills, a Black woman who has spent her life sewing intimate apparel for ladies and living unattached in a humble boarding house.
As long as you’ve come to the Maltz Jupiter Theatre’s first production back in its newly renovated theatre space in search of a good time rather than anything more substantial, you’re unlikely to be disappointed by Dirty Rotten Scoundrels.
The American Civil War was not a laughing matter. But if anything, even slightly humorous, took place during the bloody War Between the States, it probably had something to do with a true-to-life participant in that conflict, a major general in the Union Army named Benjamin Franklin Butler.

After my first two shows back on the beat happened to be a pair of relatively light-hearted musicals, it was something of a relief to be taken on a deep dive back into the waters of moral and psychological complexity at Theatre Lab’s Overactive Letdown, a promising new play from the equally promising Miami playwright Gina Montet.
Not every theatrical troupe can handle the bold presentments, sexualized nuances and provocative, cutting-edge themes characteristic of a Tennessee Williams play.
After around a month out of town, the first show I hit now that I’ve finally landed back in good old South Florida was the Pembroke Pines Theatre Of Performing Arts’ production of Something Rotten, which is nowhere near as distasteful as its name implies.This 2015 musical is one that I don’t think has been seen too often in the area, if indeed at all, making it a worthier excursion for the curious than PPTOPA’s last pick, which was the more well-traveled Cabaret.
A couple of familiar stars from ‘70s and ‘80s TV comedy series bring their talents to Pompano Beach this weekend for two stage performances of James Graham Bronson’s whimsical play, Willie & Esther.
