THEATRE REVIEW: Coral Springs SOS!

Marc de la Concha -- Marc de la Concha -- Marc de la Concha -- Marc de la Concha -- Marc de la Concha. That should help you to remember his name.

Millbrook Playhouse presented an original play as a fund raiser this week. Coral Springs SOS! was written by Marc de la Concha and Mary Catherine Burke and was not only a perfect show for making an audience aware of the financial considerations of theatre, but it highlighted the talents of this up and coming young man.

Deloris Rabinowitz, played by Marc de la Concha, is on a one woman crusade-- to save her beloved Coral Springs Theater from being turned into a movie multiplex theater. In doing so , she relives some of her favorite parts and some of her favorite actresses doing her favorite parts. This of course, gives the audience a chance to see Marc de la Concha be everything from a nice Jewish lady trying to talk the “board members” into raising the money, to a young Hispanic girl in her best scene from Footloose, Jr., to a very butch set designer paying homage to Stomp -- trashcan lids included.

Well, you get the picture. It was a fast paced, funny show. I hope that members of the audience left the theater realizing how important it is to support live theater and with respect for the talent that Millbrook Playhouse has brought to the area over the years. Oh, and did I mention Marc de la Concha’s name?
