Showtime Performing Arts Theatre (originally SHOWTIME Dance & Performing Arts Theatre, often called Showtime Boca) was a performing arts school and small musical theatre at Royal Palm Place in downtown Boca Raton, Florida. Its founder, Marilyn Perry, ran it as executive director and producer. From the mid-2000s until the COVID-19 pandemic it staged seasons of children's, teen and adult musicals and taught dance, acting, voice and instrumental music to students from age three to adult.[1][2]

History

The theatre's website was online by July 2006 under the name SHOWTIME Dance and Performing Arts Theatre. At that time it described a 3,400-square-foot facility at Suite 73, 503 SE Mizner Boulevard, in the Royal Palm Place shopping district.[3][4] Its stated mission was "to provide a professional, yet fun and supportive atmosphere where students of all levels can succeed", teaching "not only 'how you do' but 'why you do'".[3] The facility had:[3]

  • three dance studios with sprung ("floating cushioned") floors
  • a 24-track digital recording studio for voice and music classes
  • a teaching and performance theatre with about 120 seats, stage lighting and a custom sound system

Later descriptions gave the size of the two-storey building's theatre as 100 seats (2010) and 125 seats (2014).[5][1] In early 2007 Sara Perry Trabin was listed as artistic director, Sergio Crego as acting program director and Scott Sutter as music director.[6] By the mid-2010s the name had changed to Showtime Performing Arts Theatre.[2]

Closure

Showtime's 2019–2020 season was disrupted by the COVID-19 pandemic. The teen production of 13, planned for spring 2020, did not open, nor did The Sound of Music. The theatre's home page, still online in 2023, advised: "Please stay tuned for updated performance dates."[7][8] Showtime's YouTube channel posted its last video, a second trailer for 13, on March 13, 2020, the week COVID-19 closures began in Florida.[9] The theatre did not reopen, and business directories now list it as closed.[10]

Programs

Showtime presented a season of children's musical theatre each year from September to May, together with programs for teenagers and adults. Its classes and programs included:[1]

  • Theatre (age 3 to adult): acting, improvisation, audition preparation, musical theatre, "Broadway Babies" and "Kidz on Stage"
  • Dance: ballet, tap, jazz, lyrical, acro, hip hop, ballroom and musical theatre jazz
  • Music: voice, piano, guitar and drums
  • Private coaching for auditions to performing-arts magnet schools and college conservatory programs
  • ShowStoppers: an auditioned "triple threat" Broadway performance troupe with junior and senior divisions[7]
  • Camps during the winter, spring and summer school holidays

CBS Miami included Showtime in a list of the best theatre groups for children in South Florida. It highlighted the acting and dance programs, music lessons, the "Musical Test Drive" (a one-on-one session trying up to four instruments), holiday musical theatre camps and birthday parties.[11]

Productions

Showtime staged a children's and young performers' "Broadway season" every year from at least 2007–08 to 2019–20, with adult and teen productions alongside it.[12] Each season ended with Showtime's own "Tony Awards" ceremony for its students.[13][14]

Early years

Saturday matinées in 2007 included Alice in Wonderland – The Musical and You're a Good Man, Charlie Brown. That year an adult cabaret series presented An Evening with Richard Rodgers, Rock 'Em Broadway and Broadway Rhythm.[15] Around 2014 the adult series included Nunsense and Les Misérables, and the theatre hosted monthly shows by the improv troupe Sick Puppies Comedy.[16]
