Presented by Thinking Cap Theatre at Hollywood Central Performing Arts Center, Hollywood FL
Often called Shakespeare’s “kitchen sink” play for its thrilling mix of genres, Cymbeline takes audiences on an epic journey of love, betrayal, forgiveness and the resilience of the human spirit.
Thinking Cap Theatre continues its bold 15th anniversary season with Cymbeline by William Shakespeare, a rarely produced yet profoundly resonant play that fuses romance, tragedy, comedy and history into one dazzling story. Often called Shakespeare’s “kitchen sink” play for its thrilling mix of genres, Cymbeline takes audiences on an epic journey of love, betrayal, forgiveness and the resilience of the human spirit. At its heart is Imogen, one of Shakespeare’s most courageous heroines, whose intelligence, bravery and grace guide the tangled plot of forged letters, false accusations, mistaken identity and even severed heads toward a moving resolution of truth and reconciliation.

Beetlejuice, Jr. Presented by Florida Children's Theatre
2025-12-12 14:00 - 15:30, 2025-12-14 14:00 - 15:30 (America/New_York) | broward college, 3501 Davie Road Bldg. 5-101, Davie, FL, 33314, United States
It’s our show now, kid. The ghost-with-the-most comes to the stage in Beetlejuice JR., the frightfully funny musical based on the beloved motion picture turned Broadway phenomenon. Lydia Deetz is a strange and unusual teenager, still grieving the loss of her mother and obsessed with the whole “being dead thing.” Lucky for Lydia, she and her father move to a new house haunted by a recently deceased couple and Beetlejuice, a delightful demon with a real zest for life. When Lydia calls on Beetlejuice to scare away anyone with a pulse, this double-crossing specter shows his true stripes, unleashing a (Nether)world of pandemonium.
With music and lyrics by Tony Award-nominee Eddie Perfect and a book by Tony Award-nominated pair Anthony King and Scott Brown, Beetlejuice was nominated for eight 2019 Tony Awards including Best New Musical. A viral “sucks-yes” on social media, this musical struck a chord with young theatre lovers who adored its unabashed humor and emotional honesty.
Created for the generation that made it a hit, Beetlejuice JR. is a wacky theatrical party for all!
