There is not a bad seat in the small theatre but our first row seats were particularly good. The acting was excellent and it was fun to see the expressions so close. If I were to read the play I would have thought it was good, but the acting (and sets and staging) made it great. We had a freshly baked cookie before the show and that was terrific also. I am excited for the rest of the season.

I've been coming to the Raymond F. Kravis Center for the Performing Arts for years, and it has…read morealways been a place I genuinely enjoyed. Unfortunately, my recent visit to see the Peking Acrobats was a completely different experience--one that left me feeling singled out and deeply uncomfortable. I understand that policies evolve. Paid parking is one thing, even if it feels like an added burden on top of already expensive tickets. What's harder to overlook is how I was treated from the moment I arrived. While parking, I backed into a spot as I've done on previous visits and was immediately and aggressively corrected by a parking attendant. If it's head-in parking only, that's perfectly fine--but the tone was unnecessarily harsh. What stood out even more was that a nearby vehicle was also backed in and remained that way without being addressed or corrected. Despite that, I was the one singled out. Inside the venue, things escalated. When I approached the information desk to ask about a note on my ticket for a complimentary pre-show drink, the staff member questioned the legitimacy of my tickets--where I got them, when I got them--and then had my family and me step aside in the lobby while they rescanned them to confirm they were "real." We stood there for about 15 minutes, feeling as though we had done something wrong, simply for asking a question. What was most telling was what happened next. When an elderly white patron approached the same desk with the exact same note on his ticket, the tone immediately shifted. Only then did staff begin resolving the issue, and only then were we directed to redeem the drinks we had already been delayed over. The contrast was hard to ignore. Unfortunately, the pattern continued. After purchasing drinks and a few snacks, we were stopped almost immediately after leaving the concession line and told we could not take food into the theater. Again, I complied without issue. But once seated, I couldn't help but notice multiple other patrons--directly around us--eating inside the theater: cookies, popcorn, even outside food. None of them were stopped. None of them were approached. By that point, the issue was no longer about the rules--it was about how selectively they were enforced. In the span of less than an hour, I was approached three separate times by staff, each interaction carrying an edge of suspicion or correction that others around me did not seem to experience. As an Asian-American man attending with my interracial family, it became increasingly difficult to dismiss how targeted it felt. What should have been a joyful evening turned into something else entirely. It's a difficult feeling to describe--being made to feel out of place in a venue you've supported for years, and then having to process that in front of your child. This experience left me disappointed and honestly hurt. The Kravis Center has always been a place I respected, but after this, it's hard to see myself returning anytime soon.

Today the Lake Worth Playhouse hosts a children's summer theater camp, movies, drag bingo, fundraisers, concerts, tribute bands ... This evening I was invited by PBS to On the Town in the Palm Beaches 'Set Jetting Screening Event with Frank Lacari. The stadium seating was very comfortable with a lot of legroom. When we walked into the historic theater we passed markers, plaques and photographs detailing the history of this 100+ theater in its 74th season. The Oakley, brothers from Illinois opened a movie and vaudeville theater in Lake Worth. They purchased this 55 ft plot on Lake Ave. In 1924, they spent $150,000, then considered a fortune & the Oakley Theater opened, screening the silent film Welcome Stranger. Four years later the theater was devastated by the 1928 Okeechobee hurricane, "the largest single loss in the city", according to The Palm Beach Post. The roof collapsed with only the stage and some offices surviving the storm. They reopened in 1929 with sound only to get bankrupted by the depression. In the 1950's & 70's it was The Playtoy with pornography, being raided 10+ times. In 1974, the Lake Worth Playhouse Organization purchased the Playtoy, for $60,000. Since the theater was renovated & has been listed on the National Register of Historic Places. In 2005, Hurricane Wilma tore part of the roof, destroyed equipment, flooded dressing rooms & damaged the stage. Repairs were made in time for the 2024 centennial with a Roaring Twenties-style party.

We had purchased our tickets a week earlier and were lucky enough to score some aisle seats seven rows back from the stage. When we entered the Playhouse to find our seats we were very happy with our seats. As we looked around we both noted that there are really NO bad seats in the house. It looks like excellent viewing from each area and seat. Another part of our enjoyable evening was the Play, players and the genuinely appreciative audience. So happy we came and look forward to upcoming shows and continued support of the Lake Worth Playhouse!

Went to dinner detective in west palm beach with some coworkers the other night. For the price, it…read morewas a fun and different experience however, I expected it to be different. It was a great one time experience but I probably would not go again. Check in went smoothly and as you are checking in, there were some appetizers being served, which were absolutely delicious. However, I do wish there were little picks or tongs to use to pick up the appetizers versus everyone using their hands. As you enter, there is salad and bread already at the table, which was good, you can't go wrong with that. Then you are given about 10 minutes to mingle and "interrogate" others at the start of the show. Which was a bit confusing at first because there were no instructions, no performance or anything to give us an inclination to what the crime we are solving might be, and many people were just shy about approaching others and talking. When people started talking, I also noticed it was one of those things where they weren't sure if they should answer truthfully or in character. That was really the only time guest were doing individual interrogations and interacting with others not at their table. Throughout the dinner, there were 3 Acts where different clues were presented. First, I would like to start off by saying all of the staff both actors and servers were great, very professional and nice. The actors were great however, the overall acts were a bit chaotic. There was an option to purchase a suspect package at an extra cost. Which would result in someone at your table being a part of the acts as a suspect. Which was a fun/funny experience. However, those portions seemed a lot like improv and had nothing to do with the actual scenario. The actors also tried to get the various guest involved by choosing individuals to complete reenactments and do task as a table (drawing a suspect, writing all the alias of the table members). Again these task, had nothing to do with the actual scenario and did not help with solving the crime. They felt more like time fillers. However, they did add some funny moments into the night. Okay, solving of the crime. Personally I was very lost. In order to solve the crime, you had to know/understand some specific pop culture references. Which I personally did not. So even with all the clues presented and the acts, I was very lost. The ages of the guest varied from teenagers to older adults. However, with a majority of the guest ranging from 50-70 years of age, so I understand the pop culture reference being older however, I think the overall show would be better if the references were more universally geared. Or if there were no pop culture references and all the facts needed were presented somehow. The food. Personally, I felt as if the portion sizes were good for the price and I left the show full. I personally liked that there were a variety of options available. They even had a vegetarian option which I was grateful for, however, no vegan options. The portion sizes for the vegetable lasagna were large, however, the food was served kind of cold. It still tasted good. But nothing amazing. Overall the decor was minimal. There was plain table cloth and table numbers at each table. One of the two detectives had a police vest on. I thought I read somewhere that there might be sound effects. However, the show didn't have any. The actors did not have any mics and there was no music or light effects. At the end of the show, if you wrote a Google review, you were given a free shot glass in exchange.

They were giving out free shotglasses to people who showed them a 5 star review on Google before they left the show. Nothing was fantastic here. It was subpar and mediocre. I definitely applaud the actors for their performances but majority of the show seemed like improv. It was interactive so they did mingle with the guests and put them on the spotlight but it was really dragged out. We weren't sure why. If it was due to matching up the timing of the kitchen and food or if it was because they needed to drag out the allotted 3 hours. There was really only one acting scene that lasted 2 minutes. There were no other acting! Wish I knew that prior to coming. It was hard to figure out who the killer was because they give you a 10 minute break in the beginning to mingle with everyone and interrogate people. This doesn't work well with majority of the audience who came here for entertainment. It seemed like people didn't want to approach strangers and just talk. I think the hosts tried their best with the jokes they could come up with that weren't scripted and it did make me laugh here and there. The food was not good. I enjoy a dinner being waited on but the food was obviously mass produced and very dry and luke warm. The dinner came with water or self serve coffee or ice tea. If you wanted a soda, it was an additional $5 at the bar. I would tell everyone to save yourself the high ticket price as the show I attended lost its audience attention not even halfway through. My guest and I are in our 30's but the elderly couple sitting next to us in their 60-70's also said they were disappointed It was cheesy but now that I did it, I can share wi.th someone else to not waste their money on it.

Mariachi is a type of traditional Mexican folk music believed to have originated in Western Mexico…read more From different regions of Mexico emerged a multicultural sound. During colonial times from the early 16th century through the mid-19th century, the music of Mexico's indigenous nations were influenced by the musical styles of Spanish colonists and the African slave population to form the music now called Mariachi. After the end of the Mexican revolution in the 1920's, the government began promoting Mexican folk music as a source of national pride. It is around this time that the Mariachi costumes became elaborate taking inspiration from Jalisco charros, Mexican ranchers and cowboys. By the middle of the 20th century, mariachi music had made its way into US culture, first in California, then throughout the southwest, and eventually throughout the nation. Mariachi has now become one of the most recognizable Latin music types. Carrying the Mariachi torch in South Florida is the Mariachi Show Mexicanisimo. This musical group can be hired to perform at your private events including birthdays, weddings, and other celebrations. I was able to watch them perform at a friends milestone birthday celebration. The singers had great harmony and they can sing in both Spanish and English. They offer 30 and 50 minute performances. This group was very professional and their music and vocals was enjoyed by everyone at the party. Mariachi Show Mexicanisimo is a beautiful representation of Mexican culture.
