When I asked why he hadn't taken it there, he said the actors were "too demanding and difficult." I believed in the Foundry enough to personally contribute $5,000 in 2022. That same year, I brought him a play I had discovered from obscurity, then produced and directed in Los Angeles in 1997, which Encounters magazine named it one of the year's best theatrical experiences. Ronnie produced a staged reading at the Foundry where he allowed me to direct it. After the reading at the Foundry, he proclaimed to the audience that "It was the best staged reading in the history of his theatre." He then asked the audience whether he should produce it. The answer was an yes. He scheduled it for December 2023 and hired me to direct. When holiday conflicts cost me most of my cast, I asked in October for help recasting and for a meeting with the set designer. He cancelled the production, calling me "too demanding and difficult." The theatre has since announced Stray Dog Story, directed by Mr. Larsen. I hold no rights to that play, but the timing is disappointing and poor business practice as he promised that he would support me if I produced it elsewhere. This support did not happen. Theft? No. Hurtful and mean spirited? In my opinion yes. I remain grateful for the work I saw at the Foundry. Mr. Larsen which would give me pause if I were ever to decide to donate to a Theatre company again

Mariachi is a type of traditional Mexican folk music believed to have originated in Western Mexico…read more From different regions of Mexico emerged a multicultural sound. During colonial times from the early 16th century through the mid-19th century, the music of Mexico's indigenous nations were influenced by the musical styles of Spanish colonists and the African slave population to form the music now called Mariachi. After the end of the Mexican revolution in the 1920's, the government began promoting Mexican folk music as a source of national pride. It is around this time that the Mariachi costumes became elaborate taking inspiration from Jalisco charros, Mexican ranchers and cowboys. By the middle of the 20th century, mariachi music had made its way into US culture, first in California, then throughout the southwest, and eventually throughout the nation. Mariachi has now become one of the most recognizable Latin music types. Carrying the Mariachi torch in South Florida is the Mariachi Show Mexicanisimo. This musical group can be hired to perform at your private events including birthdays, weddings, and other celebrations. I was able to watch them perform at a friends milestone birthday celebration. The singers had great harmony and they can sing in both Spanish and English. They offer 30 and 50 minute performances. This group was very professional and their music and vocals was enjoyed by everyone at the party. Mariachi Show Mexicanisimo is a beautiful representation of Mexican culture.

Saw it at Marymoor Park, Kirkland WA. Coms: 1. Story line poorly developed, unclear. So much unlike Cirque Du Soleil 2. Stage design and decorations so unattractive, ugly, just a bunch of boxes 3. Costume design so unattractive, disturbing even, ugly 4. Choreography unattractive, non-existent pretty much 5. Quite boring 6. Too contemporary/new age 7. I paid 200 per ticket for second 200, row O. Tickets are outrageously expensive and totally not worth it. 8. No beauty in the show unlike their other shows Cons: 1. Always admire the acrobatics. These athletes are amazing no matter the design and choreography 2. The 2 entertainers/clowns were very funny and I'd say the only bright thing about the show. 3. Beautiful music I absolutely love Cirque Du Soleil and I'm so disappointed.

The Wilton Theater Factory now houses both the original 68-seat theater, now called The Mainstage, at 2304 Dixie Highway, and the new Foundry, at 2306 Dixie Highway, being a more intimate 50-seat theater. It is believed that The Wilton Theater Factory, in addition to being home of Island City Stage and Infinite Abyss Productions, will become a sought-after venue for other theatrical and entertainment productions. I've attended a good number of performances at this location by both Island City Stage and Infinite Abyss Productions prior to the expansion and renaming. Both theaters of this newly named complex are intimate and comfortable with one of the best things about them being that you can hear everything without the necessity of the performer's voices being electronically enhanced. You are also right up there so you can visually see everything. All of the performances I've seen have been first class top notch in both acting and staging. And, the plays presented here are like no other that you will find elsewhere. Many are of original works, premier first time performances and also always eclectic and unique striking in depth at social and political issues other theaters dare not even touch upon. One may obtain tickets by going on line or phoning: (954) 990-3622

"Anna and the Zombie Apocalypse" -the shadow cast! Wow!! Wasn't sure what to expect but was I…read morepleasantly surprised!!! What a fun and exciting way to experience the cult classic film about Anna and her classmates whose lives are turned upside down when a viral global outbreak makes everyone a ZOMBIE ‍! The cast come out and perform musical numbers; dance and lip-synch, dressed like the characters they each bring to life and off the movie screen as it plays behind them. Humorous and at times emotionally touching, everyone in their lives are forever changed. They do warn you not everyone gets a Hollywood ending! ‍ Anna, played by Anna Christine, hits the ground running and was spectacular throughout as she, along with her cast-mates, takes us along on her zombie adventure. Lip-syncing her heart out as we watch her lose friends, town folk and family as the zombie madness spreads. Nick, played by Luis Albaer was phenomenal as the troubled school jock/bad boy turned Zombie slayer who steps up to the plate --literally (baseball bat in hand) to do his best to defend his friends... bashing zombies one skull at a time. It was a delightful bloodbath! Erynn Dalton, who not only directed the shadow cast; but stars brilliantly alongside them as starlet in the making Lisa, was superb. I HIGHLY recommend seeing it while you can and supporting local artists while you're at it. I had a great time and got to meet the entire talented cast immediately after the performance. They were warm and welcoming and made me feel like family. I look forward to more performances at the Wilton Theater Factory and see more amazing performances from Erynn and her troupe of remarkable thespians .

This day we saw a super fun magician I knew from a Netflix series. It worked well here! Last time we did the VIP tickets and met some cool local patrons in the VIP lounge where they give you complimentary snacks & discounted drinks. It's a nice perk to support the local arts! Parking is easy and reasonable enough. The area itself is a bit depressed, but seems safe enough. Ushers are friendly and helpful, elevator and bar service have fun offerings and bathrooms are fine. If you find yourself in the area, Don't sleep on viewing your favorite shows here. Check it out when in the area. Happy summer yelping in 2026! ~Tami in Miami

The sound quality is outstanding, the staff is always friendly and helpful, and the theater itself is beautiful. Built in 1967, it has a classic elegance that newer venues just can't match. A winner! One thing I absolutely love is the parking. It's free, easy, and stress-free. Just pull in, follow the staff's directions, and you're parked. Getting in and out after the show is incredibly simple. The Haller Club is another great feature. For an additional fee, you get access to an exclusive lounge with unlimited food and drinks before the show and during intermission. The space is comfortable, never feels crowded, and offers a nice selection of cheeses, fresh fruit, desserts, finger foods, and hot entrées. The biggest reason I keep coming back is the lineup of performers and the value. The Parker consistently attracts great bands, and ticket prices are refreshingly reasonable. For me, no other venue combines great entertainment, affordability, convenience, and atmosphere quite like The Parker.

It's hard to believe that The Parker, formerly known as Parker Playhouse, is almost 60 years old. Inside the theater, the seating rows are unusually long, with no breaks for aisles. The ladies' restroom was very clean. We would definitely come back if there was another show that we were interested in.

Oh VOLTA…read more This show is unlike any other Cirque Du Soleil show I've seen yet. This show has everything you expect from a Cirque show and more. The show has high flying aerialist and acrobats performing hoop diving, rings and even slackline. Jump ropers who go as fast as the light on the rope - and BMX riders that can perform tricks on their bikes that will leave your jaw on the ground. This show incorporates technology in the show with the lighting and use of projection on the stage to show "memories". The show is well constructed and has a great storyline behind it. The greys, the free spirits and the super elites. The costumes in this show are unique with each grouping mentioned above, as each costume has a different representation. The music in the show is great, it is something that can be listened to often and you would not know that it belong to a Cirque Du Soleil show. The Grand Chapiteau (the big top) is designed differently than the traditional colors of the big top which are usually a yellow gold and a dark blue. Volta has a grey big top tent and then they associate with lights so the tent changes colors which is neat to see at night time. The show is great for a girls night out, date night with a significant other or a day out with the kiddos. Just remember to find your free spirit.

I won the tickets from Yelp and I can't thank them enough. Every seat in the show is designed to see the performance from a great angle. The stage is circular and the artists sort of rotate in a way that no matter if your sitting in the last row or the first, you will enjoy it. You can buy the tickets online and the show is still currently being featured until February 4 2018. (I think) My favorite act was the one where they used bicycles and did some amazing acrobatic things with them. I always enjoy the singing or music aspect of Cirque Du Soleil as well. Side Note: Parking is convenient and always monitored by the employees, so your vehicle will not get stuck or no one will block it. It was cash or you can use your sun pass sticker which makes it $5 cheaper. VOLTA is here for a little while longer in Miami, go check it out to get amazed by the performances.~
