Del Shores’ “black comedy about white trash,” “Sordid Lives,” gets a new production by producer/director Larry Buzzeo and his ArtBuzz Theatrics company through Oct. 22 at the intimate Empire Stage in Fort Lauderdale.

Unlike most other regional companies, Plays of Wilton (POW!) and producer Ronnie Larsen follow a commercial theater model like Broadway, preferring flexibility and not being locked into a predetermined schedule. When a show is successful, he can extend and when it’s not selling, quickly close and move on.

With its stellar performance of Del Shores’ classic comedy, “Sordid Lives”, Larry Buzzeo’s ArtBuzz Theatrics has packed a Broadway-level performance into the tiny space at Empire Stage.

Four women get a chance at life after death in a local playwright’s new original work, “The Equivalent of Sensation.”

Slow Burn Theatre’s Annual Fireside Online Silent Auction will run through Sept. 9. Register at slowburntheatre.org. Pick up a bargain or two and help support Slow Burn’s mission of bringing Broadway to Fort Lauderdale.

Broadway sensation Gavin Creel takes the stage at Hunters Nightclub on Sept. 18, at 7 p.m. Gay Men's Chorus of South Florida's director Gabe Salazar will open the show. The event is being presented by HarmonyWaves.
