The Scene for June 28, 2013

Thank goodness the Heat have won the championship.  Now we can all get on with more important things, like Summer Theatre Fest, sponsored by WLRN and The South Florida Theatre League.  And what better way to celebrate than with FREE theatre tickets.

The South Florida Theatre League has built an entry for The Great Coconut Grove Bed Race. This week, the bed makes an appearance at a rehearsal for Spamalot at the Fort Lauderdale Children's Theatre on June 27.  They are located in the Galleria Mall, so you can also sneak in some shopping, or grab a bite in the food court.

And every Monday, Theatre League member theatres will be hosting readings of plays by playwrights who are League members.  This coming Monday, Parade Productions presents The Gift at the Studio at Mizner Park.
 

Here's what's playing on the scene this weekend.
