In 1946, Walt Disney and Salvador Dali -two icons from distinctly different worlds-met in Hollywood and began an extraordinary creative collaboration on the animated short film Destino . Both men were intrigued by the challenge of merging Disney's imaginative animation with...

The words theater and church do not usually go hand in hand. Theater at St. Luke's, the theater ministry of St. Luke's United Methodist Church in Orlando, located off Apopka-Vineland Road, defies any stereotype one might have about putting those two words together.…
One of my favorite things about theater is that it can teach important lessons and tell meaningful stories. Sometimes, though, its purpose is simply to entertain. That is certainly the case with Winter Park Playhouse's latest production, Never Can Say Goodbye: The '70s Beehive Musical.…
