Florida Theater On Stage celebrates the season continuing with a review of Slow Burn Theatre Company's production of bodyguard the Musical. It’s not necessary to be a fan of Whitney Houston’s music, or her iconic 1992 film to enjoy it. Proving that just about anything can be made into a musical, this romantic thriller is the perfect combination of funny and scary, and a real audience pleaser from the get-go.With Ta-Tanisa Wilson, Lillie Eliza Thomas, Gabriell Salgado and Timothy Mark Daviss, directed by Patrick Fitzwater Read at floridatheateronstage.com

News from Florida Theater On Stage: Throughout South Florida, throughout the country, arts organizations are struggling to survive slashes in government funding and grants. They imaginatively reconfigure ways to fulfill their vision, hoping their cutting does not affect the quality or scope of what their public has come to expect. A prime example is how City Theatre in Miami is scaling back with a good-natured thumb-your-nose attitude that acknowledges, even embraces the sparing steps that have been taken in their 29th annual Summer Shorts festival to deal with the withheld state and local funds. Interview with Gladys Ramirez. Read all about it at floridatheateronstage.com

Florida Theater On Stage shows the season's not at all over: Like the ancient Roman statue upon which it is named, the ending of The Dying Gaul recognizes a hard-earned victory while exploring the cost of doing battle. Island City Stage’s Artistic Director Andy Rogow describes this play by Craig Lucas as “powerful, edgy, shocking, and tragic.” It’s all those things, and more, and will have you pondering it long after you leave the theater. With Jorge Amador, Autumn Kioti and Amir Darvish. Read the review at floridatheateronstage.com

Florida Theater On Stage review: Pain, despair and desperation deepen in a swirling descent into a dread-encrusted darkness in the world premiere of Gina Montét’s Dangerous Instruments closing Palm Beach Dramaworks’ 25th season. It tracks the tragic losing journey of a mother trying to get the public bureaucracy to help her son -- brilliantly gifted but critically, emotionally and behaviorally impaired -- as their fate circles an ever-worsening plummet into a nightmare. But it is a must-see for those caring about how our society flails at this very human quandary. Starring Savannah Faye Brady, Matt Stabile, Jessica Farr, Bruce Linser, Maha McCain and directed by Juniper Ledford. Read at floridatheateronstage.com

Florida Theater On Stage: One drawback of being a critic is you usually see a show on opening night. Anyone connected to theater knows that most shows need a full weekend for audiences to enjoy the perfection the artists seek. So when Island City Stage and Brévo Theatre opened Fat Ham last month, the companies produced an entertaining show: funny, topical, engaging. But as this co-production moved to GableStage six weeks later, fine-tuning with mostly the same folks have generated a significantly amped up edition that vibrates with dynamic energy.
