Bo Smith News

Out of 18 entries, Jim Moss' THE COW SAYS, Brick Brickel's FOR THE LOVE OF MARY, and Deb Bostock-Kelley's ONCE UPON UHHH...stand out.

On November 9-17, Eugene O'Neill's words come vividly to life in the CWP Black Box at Carrollwood Players. Directed by Zach "Hippie" Griswold, featuring Madison Claire Rice as Josie Hogan, Bo Smith as Jim Tyrone, Thomas Pahl as Phil Hogan, Constantine Kyriakou as T. Steadman Harder, and Joel Ferrer as Mike Hogan, A Moon for the Misbegotten written in 1943 still resonates today.

I've been to movies where the audience interacts with the actors on screen, but never have I been to a play like that. Surprisingly, it wasn't disruptive. It almost felt natural. The patron interaction to 'The Foreigner' was nearly as comical as the play. Director Miguel E. Rodriguez warned that (paraphrasing here) if we have half as much watching as he did directing, then we were about to have a fun night.

COMEDIC FARCE THE FOREIGNER COMING TO Carrollwood Players Theatre

PENIS MONOLOGUES IS IMPRESSIVE at At Carrollwood Players Theatre

Searing Drama ALL MY SONS depicts the American Dream turned nightmare. All My Sons, the first great success of Arthur Miller's career, launched him as one of the leading dramatists of the twentieth century. Provocative and heart-breaking, All My Sons is a compelling story of love, guilt and how greed corrupts.

It's like 'Some Like It Hot' meets 'Nuns on the Run!'

Carrollwood Players Theatre opens the new year on January 6 with the comedy LIE, CHEAT, AND GENUFLECT by Billy Van Zandt & Jane Milmore. Loaded with sight gags and puns, LIE, CHEAT AND GENUFLECT tells the tale of two brothers, Billy and Tom, part of the black sheep side of the family, who are convinced they've been left out of their millionaire Grandpa Buckle's will.

The April 2012 at the B. B. King Blues Club and Grill, NYC, has been announced, featuring Melanie and Oleta Adams.
