Guest Blog: Playwright Neil McPherson On IT IS EASY TO BE DEAD
by Guest Blogger: Neil McPherson - Nov 7, 2016
This play took me 28 years.
1988 marked the 70th anniversary of the end of the First World War. To commemorate it, an 'Armistice Festival' was held in London, which, like the Edinburgh Festival, included a fringe open to anyone. I am ashamed to admit that I was a rather precocious 18 year old, and called the director of the festival, Tim McHenry, to suggest to him my idea of a one-man play about war poet Wilfred Owen.

by Christina Mancuso - Jan 24, 2014
'LeDoux Vie' (published by Trafford Publishing) describes the life story of Jack LeDoux. Born in 1924 and reared in California, this story recounts the adventures of growing up in the 20s and 30s when there were no TV or youth sports' programs. Youngsters in those days played sandlot ball, cops and robbers, cowboys and Indians, kick the can, and various other activities. There was little parental interaction but most of the time; the kids did behave although the story does recount some mischievous behavior, especially on Halloween.
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.
