It's a lively, fun, yet moving musical that fits that needed niche between the young marrieds in "I Love You, You're Perfect, Now Change" and the older "Menopause: The Musical" ladies.

After a critically acclaimed SOLD-OUT run of the inaugural production of 'CHURCH BASEMENT LADIES', Jimmy Ferraro's STUDIO THEATRE, 5732 Main Street, New Port Richey, FL presents the second production of the Summer Season, the World Premier Musical/Comedy 'COUPLED'.

Definitely see "Church Basement Ladies" and this incredible new space. ...the outstanding performances, character bonding and the truths of these four women will resonate. The sold-out audience was enthralled the night I went, appreciative at seeing professional performers shining on a brand new stage. As for the Jimmy Ferraro Studio Theatre, it looks like it will be a New Port Richey touchstone for a long time to come. And with that, we all would like to say to Mr. Ferraro as well as to the cast and crew of "Church Basement Ladies": Welcome home!

Upcoming Non-Equity Auditions from Sunday, April 27, 2014.

Nationally known, Award winning Actors, Producers, Directors, and Teachers, husband and wife team, JIMMY FERRARO and DEE ETTA ROWE will open Jimmy Ferraro's STUDIO THEATRE this June , at 5732 Main Street in historic, downtown, New Port Richey, Florida. The STUDIO THEATRE is perfectly nestled among restaurants, quaint Antique Shoppes and Art Galleries. Ferraro and Rowe are thrilled to be back in Pasco County after 10 years of performing around the country. They most recently starred in the 2012 National Tour of 'Fiddler on the Roof', winning Ferraro the prestigious BroadwayWorld, 'Best Actor in a Musical' Award for his performance as Tevye.

2013 was a marvelous year for theatre in Tampa Bay. There were stellar National Tours, Regional Theatre, and Community Theatre productions filled with 5 Star talent and production qualities. It is a real challenge to narrow down a listing for 'CRITIC'S CHOICE'.
