The Scene for October 3, 2014

October.  No matter what the weather is, you can’t deny it’s autumn when it’s October.

   

And the 2014-2015 Theatre Season is finally getting underway.  October is looking to be jam-packed with shows, so if you’ve been missing your theatre fix, your prayers are answered. 

Palm Beachers can get an extra helping of theatre by participating in Palm Beach Dramaworks’ Knowledge & Nibbles series, kicking off this Wednesday, October 8.  Have lunch at a local restaurant, then mingle with the cast and director of Our Town.
