Theatre Chat has chosen the "TOP TEN" list for BEST LIVE PROFESSIONAL THEATRE in Florida to support in 2011. SDC is the Directors/Choreographers Union and Equity is the professional Actors Union that give points towards health care and pension. THEATRE CHAT suggest you support these theaters that hire a union minimum and pay SDC/Equity professionals that are local Directors, Choreographers and Actors as well as credited artists.
Please Support the following: GableStage, Mosaic Theatre, Maltz Jupiter Theatre, Actors Playhouse, Caldwell Theatre Company, Broadway Palm Dinner Theatre, Palm Beach Drama Works, Naked Stage, Zoetic Stage and Mad Cow Theatre.
If a Theater you would like to attend is not listed, Theatre Chat suggest you do some research, google the theater and find out what you can. Look at the shows program and see if Directors, Choreographers and Actors are listed with a logo from their union. It is crucial to the arts and our artists that we as the theater goer demand benefits for our artists futures. This is not to say don't support your local community theater but to bring awareness to those who support the arts through donations and purchasing season subscriptions. Addresses are listed below with links to web pages and contact phone numbers.
Theatre Chat top pick for Director/Choreographer is award winning SDC Ron Hutchins who works in Florida, Arizona, Arkasas and Chicago.
