Lake Worth Playhouse Announces Its 60th Anniversary Season
by Beau Higgins - Mar 22, 2012
The 60th season will be no less than the highest caliber of excellence. This season of grand theatrical entertainment draws across every taste from the beloved Broadway classic, The King and I to the nostalgic heartwarming, if a little offbeat 1940's Radio Hour to the wonderfully unique, vintage style show-within-a-show The Drowsy Chaperone, to the uproarious comedic wit of The Foreigner to the over-the-top spectacle of showmanship of Barnum. Of course, all preceded by the socially charged and delightfully charming, modern hit, Hairspray, this summer. Every show is an award winning icon.
