TheScene for August 17, 2012

School is starting throughout South Florida in the next week or so: which means that soon we'll start seeing children's theater on the scene again.  In the meantime, school buses will start lumbering through your daily commute, and the kiddies will start darting in out of the parked cars;

While it won't stop, theatre production does start to dwindle; help them out, and make sure you see what's playing.  You'll be glad you did, and so will we.

Here's what's happening on The Scene this week:

---

opening...

The Plaza Theatre presents Irving Berlin Salutes America, through September 9.  Remember that the bridge in Lantana is under construction, so you'll have to cross in Boynton Beach or Lake Worth.  But the drive along A1A should be make up for the detour.
