Caldwell Theatre Company announces its 2008 Summer Season in its new Count de Hoernle Theater featuring three fabulous plays, including a “musical cocktail,” an award-winning drama and a romantic comedy the whole family will love. James Hindman’s Pete ‘n’ Keely kicks off Caldwell’s Summer Season.  A reunion of America’s “swingin’ sweethearts” years after their much publicized breakup sets the stage for two pros who entertain with song and dance.  Carbonell Award-winner Connie SaLoutis stars as Keely Stevens. Back by popular demand, Pulitzer Prize-winning Doubt, a Parable returns as Caldwell’s second summer show with its original cast that wowed critics and audiences alike when Caldwell premiered the four-time Tony Award-winner in South Florida this past December. The hilarious Beau Jest closes Caldwell’s Summer Season with the zany comedy about a single Jewish teacher, her gentile boyfriend, the actor hired to play her Jewish beau at the home of her parents during a Speed Seder, and the comedy of errors that result. Special Summer Subscription Savings are available as are individual tickets.

Summer Play #1 June 20 – July 6, Pete ‘n’ Keely A Sparkling Musical Cocktail … On The Rocks By James Hindman. America’s swingin’ sweethearts Pete Bartel and Keely Stevens reunite in 1968 for a live television special.  Their trip down memory lane evokes their musical career in Las Vegas, on TV and at the top of the hit parade.  But they haven’t spoken in five years since their big breakup, and it’s anyone’s guess what sparks will fly when the two appear on stage.  Starring Carbonell Award-Winning Connie Saloutis as Keely.  Rex Reed said that “Pete ‘n’ Keely is Broadway in a bottle – the brightest, happiest, and most entertaining little show in town.”  New York Magazine’s John Simon said that the show has a “stylishness and charm few if any of today’s big Broadway musicals can begin to match,” and Newsday’s Gordon Cox said, “It’ll knock your socks off!Summer Play #2 August 1 – August 17, Doubt, A Parable Drama By John Patrick Shanley is back by popular demand.  Audiences and critics alike raved when Doubt opened Caldwell’s Mainstage Season in its new theater this past December.  Returning with the cast that made magic in its South Florida Premiere at Caldwell, Doubt features Pat Nesbit as Sister Aloysius, Terry Hardcastle as Father Flynn, Pat Bowie (2007 Best Supporting Actress in a Play Carbonell Award-Nominee for Doubt) as Mrs. Muller and Amy Montminy as Sister James in this morality tale set in a 1964 Bronx Catholic School.  Doubt was the winner of the 2005 Pulitzer Prize for Drama and four Tony Awards, including Best Play.  The Sun-Sentinel review, December 11, 2007 said “Caldwell’s Doubt casts absorbing spell of uncertainty, ” The Palm Beach Post review, December 11, 2007 “Clashes of Doubt a fine debut for Caldwell’s new home,” and the Boca Raton Forum, December 19, 2007 “A Gem in our own Backyard.”  Summer Play #3 September 5 – September 21, Beau Jest Romantic Comedy By James Sherman. This is a zany, slapstick comedy about a single Jewish schoolteacher, her gentile boyfriend, her controlling parents, a “pretend” Jewish boyfriend hired to impress the family as Dr. David Steinberg (but he’s a gentile too), and a Speed Seder (you’ve heard of speed dating?  Wait until you see a Passover Seder on fast forward).  When “the doctor” is asked what type of surgery he performs, he answers casually, “Whatever comes up.  Hearts, brains.”  Misunderstandings, double entendres and mistaken identities make this a must-see comedy the whole family will love.  Theatermania raved that Beau Jest is “a delicious concept, ripe with comic potential,” and it is a “fleet-footed farce with a heart of gold.”  Talkin’ Broadway said that Beau Jest “provides an intelligent and warmly humorous evening of theater.”  THREE PLAYS: $93 center & $84 non-center, TWO PLAYS: $70 center & $60 non-center, and INDIVIDUAL: $38 center & $34 non-center.
