UP NEXT - The WORLD PREMIERE of "Piccadilly" by Bob Hilliard
The Laboratory Theater of Florida will present a limited run of the world premiere of Robert Hilliard’s WWII musical “Piccadilly” from December 28 – 30. Book and lyrics by Robert Hilliard, music by Robert Hilliard and W. Earl Sparrow Jr.
“This is the type of story your grandparents never told you. The plot revolves around two American GIs on ten-days leave in London at the end of the war in Europe who fall in love in unexpected ways, including, rare for that time, an interracial romance. World War II veterans will relive their own experiences, and veterans of any war will find parallels to their own experiences on leave. And everyone else will experience what their grandfathers and grandmothers who were in the war never dared to tell them,” says Mr. Hilliard.

National Tour of Saw: The Musical The Unauthorized Parody of Saw
FOR FIVE PERFORMANCES ONLY!
January 7 – 11
One of the most thought-provoking horror films of all time now is…a musical. SAW The Musical hilariously captures the events of the first movie parodying the Saw that started it all following from where Lawrence Gordon and Adam Stanheight find each other for the first time in the bathroom trap. Will they follow “the rules” as they discover each other’s secrets? Will they escape the game in time and Saw right through? A love story with fluidity (and lots more fluids), ‘SAW The Musical The Unauthorized Parody of Saw’ is Little Shop of Horrors meets Avenue Q, pushing the boundary on sexuality and how to love.

COMING SOON - Good Bad People by Rachel Lynett
Written by Rachel Lynett, Good Bad People opens during the aftermath of the death of Amiri Johnson, a 23-year old Black man living in Los Angeles who was shot by a police officer while taking out the trash. His sister June returns home to help her family and finds that her father has disappeared, her mother is refusing to leave her bedroom, and her sister Audre is doing everything in her power to control public perceptions of Amiri’s death. Old resentments begin to boil over as the three women attempt, in very different ways, to negotiate their private grief against the public outrage that Amiri’s death has sparked.
“…a well-balanced, hard-hitting, thematically resonant and genuinely funny play that asks us to sit with the gravity of Black lives lost.” – Arts ATL
