The Scene for May 15, 2009

Good news! The Palm Beach Post finally reviewed At Home At The Zoo! And they managed to see The Wizard of Oz at Kravis Center. Their new website still bites the wax tadpole, but at least it has theatre reviews again. And while I hate the layout and basic design of PB Pulse, it does have RSS feeds for reviews and theatre news, so you can see their latest stories in the Sidebar.

On with this week's Scene:

Just a reminder: Clicking on a highlighted show title leads you to the review summaries for that show.
