Stage Crafters Community Theatre, the oldest continuously running all-volunteer, nonprofit community theater in Florida, has announced its 52nd season lineup.

  • Celebrating over 50 years of live theatre, Stage Crafters invites the community to join them for a lineup of productions, showcasing the diverse talent and commitment to excellence that has made them a cultural staple in Fort Walton Beach.

The season kicks off March 8 with Neil Simon’s “Brighton Beach Memoirs,” directed by Don Goodrum. The coming-of-age comedy set in 1937 Brooklyn runs through March 17.

Agatha Christie’s murder mystery “The Mousetrap” is next. The record-breaking whodunit celebrating 70 years as the world’s longest-running play runs June 7-16. It’s directed by Gail Hurley.

In August, Pamela J. Strecker and Nancy Kruzek co-direct Rich Orloff’s “The Naked Truth,” a comedic play about an Ohio couple who inherit a clothing-optional resort in Key West. It runs Aug. 16-25.

The season closes Nov. 8-17 with the musical “A Gentleman’s Guide to Love and Murder.” With music by Steven Lutvak and lyrics by Lutvak and Robert L. Freedman, the show follows a man in 1907 London seeking love and inheritance. Douglas Henderson directs.

  • “Our 52nd Season promises to be a journey through laughter, mystery, and musical delight,” said David Chancellor, President of Stage Crafters Community Theatre. “We are proud to continue our tradition of providing exceptional theatre experiences to the Fort Walton Beach community.”

Season memberships are on sale at StageCraftersFWB.com. Individual tickets can be purchased online or at the door for performances at Fort Walton Beach Civic Auditorium. More information on auditions and backstage volunteer opportunities is available online.
