There is something amazing about celebrating the holidays with a great live performance. TheatreWorks Florida’s 2017-18 season shows is directed by Scott A. Cook, the Artistic Producer of TheatreWorks Florida. TheatreWorks Florida has brought exciting and colorful productions to the Central Florida stage in the past, including Rock of Ages (2016 – Central FL regional premiere), Hands On A Hardbody (2016 – Central FL regional premiere).

Besides their current show, The Winter Wonderettes, TheatreWorks also gives back the community in a huge way. The TheatreCares program was launched in 2014 when TheatreWorks Florida received an unprecedented invitation from the National Endowment for The Arts to become the Central Florida representative for their program Arts Engagement in American Communities (AEAC). The AEAC mission to increase understanding by enhancing the arts experience through engagement’ aligned perfectly with TheatreWorks Florida’s community outreach vision and the inaugural TheatreCares production, Winter Wonderettes, was born.

Most recently, a women’s church group from Wildwood, FL were the recipients of tickets from the TheatreCares program. TheatreWorks Florida's acclaimed community outreach program, THEATRECARES, provides increased opportunities to those who may never have the chance to engage in the art of live performance. The group had the opportunity to experience The Winter Wonderettes. This seasonal performance includes musics, singing and dancing. It also features great ’60s versions of holiday classics such as “Santa Claus Is Comin’ to Town,” “Jingle Bell Rock,” “Run, Rudolph, Run,” and “Winter Wonderland,” the result is, of course, "Marvelous." The recipients were overwhelmed by the talented group of performers as well as their energetic and professional style.

“We had such an amazing time at the show. One of our church members had never been to the theater and she was overcome with emotion after the show,” says Maevonia Jackson. This particular show was such a gift to the women in the audience, they were very entertained by the choreography and talent that TheatreWork offered.
