Parade, at Players By The Sea, is a Hit!
(http://photos.metrojacksonville.com/Culture/parade-cast/paradebanner/937644738_qtmAn-O.jpg)
There is a group of theatre people in this city that are consistently bringing City Level performances to the stages without pay, advancement or quite often any recognition outside of the constricted world of Jacksonville Community Theater. Batboy, Rocky Horror, Majigeen, Billie to Badu, and now Parade.
One theater has ended up being the gathering place for the musical theater talent of this city, an out of the way little playhouse that is dreadfully underfunded especially compared to the significantly higher quality performances that are being undertaken there.
Players By The Sea, with a stellar executive staff combining talent that hasn't been seen in generations, and a recent risktaking trend has transformed the one time sleepy little community theater into one of the most powerful creative establishments in the Consolidated City of Jacksonville.
PBTS staging of Parade highlights an alignment of constellations that makes a Star out of Staci Cobb, cements the reputation of Lee Hamby as the most vibrant male vocalist on the Florida Stage and makes PBTS one of the most important cultural resources in the city.
