Description

The Promethean could easily be one of the best companies in South Florida, if only it would - or could - produce more shows. This criminally underfunded nonprofit run by regular Carbonell nominees Deborah L. Sherman and Margaret Ledford is down to a small handful of shows each year, but these productions are ones its youthful demo won't soon forget. Operating on Nova Southeastern University in either its classroom-style Mailman Building auditorium or the more expanded Black Box, the Promethean mixes quiet, minimalist dramas like The Dumb Waiter with large-scale gonzo cult musicals such as Evil Dead, proving its worth in both disparate styles.

    "The Unseen" at Promethean Theatre: An Intense Swan Song From a Great Theater Company

    Sadly, The Unseen is the last show we'll see from Davie's hard-working Promethean Theatre Company, which cited fundraising woes in its death-knell announcement last month. But what a piece to end on. In Craig Wright's smart, philosophical,... More »

    "Boeing Boeing" at the Promethean: A Strong Ensemble Carries an Overrated Classic

    In the Promethean's spirited revival of this '60s comedy by French playwright Marc Camoletti, a playboy architect named Bernard (Matthew William Chizever) has arranged his life around his three fiancées, all of whom are flight attendants on... More »

    Layover Lovers

    The Promethean Theatre (3301 College Ave., Davie) is known primarily for its idiosyncratic programming. One moment, Promethean's doing a quiet, meditative new play about family tragedy in the North Florida wilds; the next, its stage is covered in... More »

    "Song of the Living Dead" at the Promethean Theatre: Raising the Bar for Zombie Comedy

    Song of the Living Dead is set in an apocalyptic world overrun by the walking dead, but it couldn't feel more alive. The zombies aren't one-note automatons, snailing across the blood-spattered stage at the Promethean Theatre with arms... More »

  • 2012 | Best Supporting Actor

    Alvarez is onstage only for a few minutes in each of the two scenes in The Unseen, but he dominates -- nay, towers over -- both of them like a mad, yet-to-be-deposed dictator. As a secret prison's brutal guard with a heart of... something, he hulks back and forth between two crude cells, and you can't take your eyes off him: a blocky refrigerator of intimidation, shaking the rafters with brutal curses that sound as if it's the first time we've ever heard these words. In Alvarez's... More »

  • 2012 | Best Musical

    For the third year in a row, the Promethean Theatre made the summertime fun, funny, and pleasantly disgusting by mounting a musical grounded in cult cinema. Song of the Living Dead was arguably the most accomplished of them all, a pop-savvy, self-deprecating, and surprisingly sophisticated satire. Margaret Ledford directed the action with loopy abandon and excess energy, and the choreography and musical direction expressed the kind of talent and polish usually reserved for Broadway-level...

  • 2010 | Best Actor

    Gregg Weiner was a goddamned fireball in Dumb Show, frying the eyebrows off his audience every night. As a drunken, drug-addicted, philandering actor who's been suckered by two yellow journalists into revealing every vile little thing he's ever done, Weiner was a jitterbugging mass of frayed nerves and wild, mammalian survival instincts. He tore around the stage like a nihilistic bull, every vein in his head seemingly ready to burst in a shower of coke-tainted gore -- yet there was a... More »
