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.
