FOUNDCARE, INC. TO BENEFIT FROM TICKET SALES OF MUSICAL
(West Palm Beach, Fla.) tick, tick…BOOM! is about to explode in Palm Beach County, and not only will this local production take theater-goers back to the 90s for several days this November, it will support local charities in the process. FoundCare, Inc. will benefit from the Friday, November 11 performance.
According to Kimberly Rommel Enright, managing director of the Jupiter-based KWP Productions theater company, FoundCare’s mission was a perfect fit for the show’s final performance during its upcoming November 4 through 11 run.
“This autobiographical play by Jonathan Larson, the Pulitzer Prize- and Tony Award-winning composer of Rent, is the story of a composer and the sacrifices that he made to achieve his big break in theater,” said Enright. “Set in 1990, many of the play’s messages about life, the New York HIV/AIDS health crisis and commentary on Gen X still ring true with today’s culture. There are still such important lessons to be learned from that time in history, and it’s exciting to be able to bring this pre-Rent story to new audiences, while benefiting a worthy cause.”
“We are delighted to be a recipient of this funding and to be able to share information about FoundCare’s mission and services,” said FoundCare CEO Yolette Bonnet. “We are grateful to KWP Productions for giving us this unique opportunity.”
Featuring Boynton Beach resident Sean Gogan as “Jon,” West Palm Beach resident Melissa Gonzalez as “Susan,” and Boynton Beach resident Steve Youngstein as “Michael,” this compelling story of personal discovery is packed full of fun rock and pop songs, homages to Steven Sondheim and reflections of life during the 90s.
“We’re excited to present this production in the intimate setting of The Bhetty Waldron Theatre at Bob Carter’s Actor’s Workshop and Repertory Company in downtown West Palm Beach,” said Enright. “It’s an intimate, black-box setting that’s perfect for this show.”
