The Scene for August 27, 2010

I can't believe it's already the last weekend of August.  WTF?  I swear it was only just the 4th of July.  The productions are thinning out, but there's still a lot of good stuff playing.

Zoetic Stage will be presenting a reading of McKeever's Briefs, a collection of previously produced plays by Michael McKeever,  at Actors' Playhouse on August 30 at 7pm.  This is the second fundraiser for South Florida's most exciting new theatre company.  Their inaugural production, the world premiere of South Beach Babylon, will be staged at the Arsht Center's Carnival Studio Theatre in December.

Here's what's playing this weekend in hot and humid South Florida....
