SINGULAR SENSATIONS FEATURING MERI ZIEV
A Sexy Take On ‘Pippin’ Set in the Summer of Love
My recent adventure to the Pembroke Pines Performing Arts Theatre’s current production wasn’t my first time seeing Pippin, an endearing, inscrutable little mess of a show that first premiered in 1972. But it was my first time seeing Pippin quite like this, “this” meaning “set” during the “summer of love” as opposed to during the period in which the show actually takes place, which happens to be medieval times.
‘REFUGE’ Review
As the play starts, lead by Krystal Millie Valdes, you can already tell something is different.

A Destined Debut for Director Marlo Rodriguez in NCP’s ‘Cry Old Kingdom’
Though it took wading through a “rabbit hole” of plays for director Marlo Rodriguez and the rest of the New City Players (NCP) artistic team to settle on Cry Old Kingdom for their second mainstage production of their 22-23 season, she ultimately couldn’t be happier that this was the play that would go on to become the one with which she is now making her professional directorial debut.
