Flamingo Gardens

Actors Community Theatre of Davie

will be presenting a staged reading of a new play

August 3rd (7pm) and 4th (2pm)

at the Davie Multipurpose Center in Bamford Park, 3801 S. Pine Island Rd., Davie, FL

A theatergoer at a reading of the play Off-Broadway billed it as THE RAINMAKER, BROADWAY BOUND & STEEL MAGNOLIAS combined. "I wanna call my mom," she said of the bittersweet comedy about parents and children. That sounds about right to me. It's also sexy and funny and warm. Comfort food that makes you think, to mix a metaphor. (National New Play Network).

November 15-17 & 22-24

Fri. & Sat. at 8pm; Sat. & Sun. at 2pm

at the Davie Multipurpose Center in Bamford Park, 3801 S. Pine Island Rd., Davie, FL

“Chaos, banter and sexually charged jokes ensue when three couples clash at a holiday villa in Provence... This fast-paced romp was a joy to watch from start to finish... A wonderful way to spice up a chilly evening.” – Wokingham Times

For tickets (available in July) and more information, please visit actofdavie.org or call the Center at 954-327-3941.
