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.
