Actors’ Playhouse at the Miracle Theatre is closing its milestone 35th anniversary season with the United States premiere of Defending the Cavewoman by Emma Peirson.
This original and fabulously female response to the Defending the Caveman story has become a worldwide phenomenon drawing large audiences and critical acclaim in several European cities. This one-person show will star the inimitable award-winning actress Lindsey Corey.
The show plays July 19-Aug. 6, with performances Wednesday through Saturday at 8 p.m. and Sunday at 3 p.m. at the Miracle Theatre. Ticket prices range from $40 to $125 and can be purchased by calling 305-444-9293 or by visiting www.actorsplayhouse.org.
The raucous mid-life existential crisis unfolds as Defending the Cavewoman digs deep into the caves of the female psyche and sends the males of the species scattering in all directions by debunking the stereotypical myths about how women think.
It’s a tongue-in-cheek, affectionate look at the quirks, foibles and idiosyncrasies of both men and women, from the modern female perspective. This inspirational, laugh-a-minute comedy is about two completely different creatures, desperately trying to co-exist on one tiny planet — and sharing one bathroom.
A Carbonell Award-winning actress, Lindsey Corey last starred as Nancy in Oliver! at the Maltz Jupiter Theatre directed by the two-time Tony Award-nominated director/choreographer Denis Jones. Her many Actors’ Playhouse credits include Dyanne in Million Dollar Quartet and Million Dollar Quartet Christmas, Audrey in Hank Williams: Lost Highway, Belinda/Flavia in Noises Off, The Lady of the Lake in Spamalot!, Sondheim on Sondheim, Belle/Fan/Ghost of Christmas Past in The Trial of Ebenezer Scrooge, and Oliver!
Select regional credits include American Rhapsody, Stripped, Assassins, and Frankenstein at Zoetic Stage; Overactive Letdown at FAU Theatre Lab; Violet, Jekyll & Hyde, Xanadu, Tarzan, and A Christmas Story at Slow Burn Theatre Company.
Most notably, she portrayed Rachel the Reporter/Cherry in the World Premiere Production of the new musical based on the life and career of Louis Armstrong entitled A Wonderful World at Miami New Drama, directed by the Tony Award-nominated director Christopher Renshaw. In October, she will join the cast of A Wonderful World once again for an out-of-town, pre-Broadway tryout run at the New Orleans’ Saenger Theatre and Chicago’s Cadillac Palace Theatre.
The creative team is led by Actors’ Playhouse artistic director David Arisco (Director), Jodi Dellaventura (Scenic Design and Set Dressings), Ellis Tillman (Costume Design), Eric Nelson (Lighting Design), Matt Corey (Sound Design), Gene Seyffer (Technical Direction), Carlos Correa (Production Manager) and Amanda Corbin (Stage Manager).
