January 8 to February 12-Smackdown in Boca! Caldwell Theatre Company Takes It To The Mat With the new play that just received a Pulitzer Prize Nomination:  "The Elaborate Entrance of Chad Deity'-A comedic look into the professional world of wrestling, this will surely be thought of as one of the most unique theatrical experiences in recent South Florida history and unlike anything you've ever seen-The Caldwell Theatre Company proudly presents Kristoffer Diaz’s Pulitzer Prize finalist play-Diving headfirst into the world of professional wrestling, but diving even deeper into the larger world of geopolitics, …Chad Deity is that rare piece of theater that overwhelmingly entertains while intellectually stimulates.“Without question this was the one show I simply had to have in my season this year,” stated Clive Cholerton, Artistic Director of Caldwell Theatre Company and director of…Chad Deity.  “In the same way that we embraced groundbreaking material with Vices: A Love Story and Clybourne Park, …Chad Deity proclaims its originality from the outset. Known for versatility and attention to detail, the Caldwell Theatre Company design team will certainly be put to the test bringing the wrestling world to the stage.  Read what the critics have said about The Elaborate Entrance of Chad Deity:“…tailor-made for people who find contemporary drama dull, staid and more or less irrelevant.”  Awards: The 2008 Latino Playwriting Award and Pulitzer Prize Finalist-Tickets: $27 to $50 depending on performance and seat location-$10 for students with ID-3 play Subscriptions are available for as low as $57.50-Located at 7901 N.

SAVE THE DATE:  Jan.24 to February 19- DIVORCE PARTY THE MUSICAL

Did you see the off-Broadway hit "Menopause the Musical"?  If you liked it, have some more laughs by the same creator, Mark Schwartz, a veteran theater producer and twice divorced himself. He was looking for another subject that would appeal to the same demographic.  This play opens with a frumpy, middle-aged divorcee comforting her broken heart with a pint of "Chubby Hubby" ice cream. By the play's conclusion, she is transformed into a svelte, liberated woman clinking mimosa glasses and singing atop a giant cake "no longer a wife now, is my favorite part of life now."

You'll recognize the tunes and you'll come out uplifted. Don't miss it!

New movie theater coming to Mizner Park!

MOVIES MOVING INTO MIZNER ~

Plans for an upscale iPic Theater with a bar and restaurant were presented at the city's Dec. 8 Planning & Zoning Board meeting. The owner hopes to have the new movie house open by May, after the long-vacant space at the south end of Mizner Park is totally redesigned. The former Sunrise Cinemas location closed last winter, and an eviction lawsuit was filed in March.

The new movie house will be reconfigured with only 40 to 60 seats in each of eight spaces. The luxury section has push-button recliners and allows food service 20 minutes into the feature. The lower-priced seats up front are leather, and movie goers can buy food there and bring it in while they watch. The box office will move inside, but patrons can also buy tickets and pick their seats in advance online.

iPic Entertainment president and CEO Hamid Hashemi presented the site plan as part of his request for 1,932 more square feet, approved unanimously. A new facade will alert patrons it's a cinema, instead of the blank wall there now, he pointed out.

The former Muvico founder and CEO formed iPic in 2007. The company now has eight locations in Arizona, California, Illinois, Washington, Wisconsin and Texas.
