Today the Lake Worth Playhouse hosts a children's summer theater camp, movies, drag bingo, fundraisers, concerts, tribute bands ... This evening I was invited by PBS to On the Town in the Palm Beaches 'Set Jetting Screening Event with Frank Lacari. The stadium seating was very comfortable with a lot of legroom. When we walked into the historic theater we passed markers, plaques and photographs detailing the history of this 100+ theater in its 74th season. The Oakley, brothers from Illinois opened a movie and vaudeville theater in Lake Worth. They purchased this 55 ft plot on Lake Ave. In 1924, they spent $150,000, then considered a fortune & the Oakley Theater opened, screening the silent film Welcome Stranger. Four years later the theater was devastated by the 1928 Okeechobee hurricane, "the largest single loss in the city", according to The Palm Beach Post. The roof collapsed with only the stage and some offices surviving the storm. They reopened in 1929 with sound only to get bankrupted by the depression. In the 1950's & 70's it was The Playtoy with pornography, being raided 10+ times. In 1974, the Lake Worth Playhouse Organization purchased the Playtoy, for $60,000. Since the theater was renovated & has been listed on the National Register of Historic Places. In 2005, Hurricane Wilma tore part of the roof, destroyed equipment, flooded dressing rooms & damaged the stage. Repairs were made in time for the 2024 centennial with a Roaring Twenties-style party.

As a fan of architecture I love this Spanish Colonial Revival building in The Square. It is one of…read moremy favorite historic buildings in West Palm Beach. Parking is free in the garage before 5 PM. The building was constructed in 1926 as a Methodist church. During the Hurricane of 1928, the church basement was used to shelter people. By the 1980's, downtown West Palm Beach was rundown and associated with poverty and drug use. In 1996 in an effort to make the area more business and tourist friendly, the 55 acres surrounding the theater was demolished. Mayor Nancy Graham offered developers the opportunity to redesign the square as long as they preserved this building. The church underwent a six million dollar restoration by REG Architects turning into a multipurpose performance hall with shops on the first floor. It anchored City Place which is now called The Square. The 850-seat, 11,000-square-foot theater opened in 2000 and it was used for arts performances, receptions, community meetings and other events. The theater was named in honor of patron of the arts, Harriet Himmel who donated three million dollars in exchange for naming rights. Today the building is once again a church. Christ Fellowship Church holds Sunday services at 9:30 AM and 11 AM. This beautiful building stands majestically as the backdrop for The Squares many restaurants, shops, and public art pieces. I hadn't been to The Square since it was City Place and I was impressed with how great everything looked. Saving and rehabilitating this building really paid off in adding history and majestic architectural interest to The Square,

Went to dinner detective in west palm beach with some coworkers the other night. For the price, it…read morewas a fun and different experience however, I expected it to be different. It was a great one time experience but I probably would not go again. Check in went smoothly and as you are checking in, there were some appetizers being served, which were absolutely delicious. However, I do wish there were little picks or tongs to use to pick up the appetizers versus everyone using their hands. As you enter, there is salad and bread already at the table, which was good, you can't go wrong with that. Then you are given about 10 minutes to mingle and "interrogate" others at the start of the show. Which was a bit confusing at first because there were no instructions, no performance or anything to give us an inclination to what the crime we are solving might be, and many people were just shy about approaching others and talking. When people started talking, I also noticed it was one of those things where they weren't sure if they should answer truthfully or in character. That was really the only time guest were doing individual interrogations and interacting with others not at their table. Throughout the dinner, there were 3 Acts where different clues were presented. First, I would like to start off by saying all of the staff both actors and servers were great, very professional and nice. The actors were great however, the overall acts were a bit chaotic. There was an option to purchase a suspect package at an extra cost. Which would result in someone at your table being a part of the acts as a suspect. Which was a fun/funny experience. However, those portions seemed a lot like improv and had nothing to do with the actual scenario. The actors also tried to get the various guest involved by choosing individuals to complete reenactments and do task as a table (drawing a suspect, writing all the alias of the table members). Again these task, had nothing to do with the actual scenario and did not help with solving the crime. They felt more like time fillers. However, they did add some funny moments into the night. Okay, solving of the crime. Personally I was very lost. In order to solve the crime, you had to know/understand some specific pop culture references. Which I personally did not. So even with all the clues presented and the acts, I was very lost. The ages of the guest varied from teenagers to older adults. However, with a majority of the guest ranging from 50-70 years of age, so I understand the pop culture reference being older however, I think the overall show would be better if the references were more universally geared. Or if there were no pop culture references and all the facts needed were presented somehow. The food. Personally, I felt as if the portion sizes were good for the price and I left the show full. I personally liked that there were a variety of options available. They even had a vegetarian option which I was grateful for, however, no vegan options. The portion sizes for the vegetable lasagna were large, however, the food was served kind of cold. It still tasted good. But nothing amazing. Overall the decor was minimal. There was plain table cloth and table numbers at each table. One of the two detectives had a police vest on. I thought I read somewhere that there might be sound effects. However, the show didn't have any. The actors did not have any mics and there was no music or light effects. At the end of the show, if you wrote a Google review, you were given a free shot glass in exchange.

The scare zones were good, although I would have liked to see more zombies interacting with guests. The houses were entertaining, but honestly, they're starting to feel repetitive from year to year. The drinks were on point! The negatives: The biggest issue was the lack of crowd control and security. The amount of teenagers cutting lines was ridiculous and completely unfair to guests who were patiently waiting their turn. I personally witnessed a group of teenagers physically assault an elderly couple simply because the couple addressed them for cutting in line. That is absolutely unacceptable and extremely concerning. There needs to be a much stronger security presence throughout the lines, along with better enforcement of rules regarding line-skipping and unaccompanied minors. Guests should be able to enjoy the event without worrying about being harassed or witnessing violence. Leaving the event was another nightmare. There was no one directing traffic, and it turned into a complete free-for-all. It's disappointing because this used to be an event I looked forward to attending every year. Unfortunately, the lack of supervision, crowd control, and organization took away from the overall experience. Management needs to take these issues seriously before someone gets seriously hurt. Entertainment is one thing, but guest safety should always come first.

The campus is small enough so that you can easily identify the building itself from signage as well as its proximity to 6th Ave South. The theater has a lower and upper level of seating, but I've only sat in the lower level. The theater is very intimate, allowing an up close and personal view of performers; I love this! The theatre has a family series each year but it is poorly promoted. I recently attended a show of a national recording artist. Despite being on this artist's mailing list, I didn't know about the show until a few days ahead of time due to a ticket giveaway. The attendees could barely fill the first few rows. At the show, the Theater rep mentioned the next show in the family series in an extremely brief and uninformative 'announcement.' They didn't even ask us to sign up for the Theatre's mailing list. What a wasted opportunity! Also, apparently even a babe in arms of ANY age must pay for an adult ticket. Yet this info is not listed on the Theater's website; a box office rep on the phone told me she didn't think the baby would be charged, which was incorrect.
