A theater holds its first world premiere; a long-standing institution debuts a brand new stage, and a yeoman company presents a crisply written classic. And those are just the three productions that are opening this weekend!
The Actors' Playhouse summer show Married Alive! got a warm reception, and Artistic Director Clive Cholerton hits it out of the ballpark with the world premiere musical VICES: A Love Story at the iconic Caldwell Theatre, the first show of his tenure as top dog.
All in all, it is a great week to see great theatre in South Florida.

Private Lives opens to the public on July 17th at Palm Beach DramaWorks in West Palm Beach. It runs through August 16th. Read what The Drama Queen has to say about it.
