April Events
Kay Kipling's guide to the month's best cultural and special events.

Smash. An adaptation of Shaw’s An Unsocial Socialist, following an idealistic millionaire who longs to overthrow the government. Continuing through May 3 at the Asolo Rep. 351-8000.

Equus. Peter Shaffer’s drama about a troubled teen who commits an unspeakable act of violence continues in rotating rep through May 4 at the Asolo Rep. 351-8000.

Funny Girl. Fanny Brice pursues show biz success and true love in the musical that made Streisand a star, continuing through May 11 at the Golden Apple Dinner Theatre. 366-5454.

Outlaws and Angels. A revue featuring country-Western music by the likes of Hank Williams, Willie Nelson, Patsy Cline and others, continuing through June 7 on Florida Studio Theatre’s cabaret stage. 366-9000.

Avenue Q. A young, idealistic college grad tries to make it in New York in this award-winning musical that uses Sesame Street-like puppets to make a point. Onstage April 1-6 at the Tampa Bay Performing Arts Center. (800) 955-1045.

Urinetown. The seemingly unlikely Broadway hit about a city where everyone must pay for the privilege of peeing, onstage April 1-20 at Venice Little Theatre. You can imagine the revolution that ensues. 488-1115.

The Miamians. Playwright Michael McKeever takes a look at three Miami families—one Cuban, one African-American, one Jewish—against the ever-changing backdrop of that city and the pursuit of the American Dream. Onstage April 2 through May 24 at Florida Studio Theatre. 366-9000.

Hot Mikado. This swinging, all-black version of the Gilbert and Sullivan operetta continues April 3, 4 and 5 in a Westcoast Black Theatre Troupe production at the Historic Asolo Theater. 360-7399.

All Shook Up. Shakespeare’s Twelfth Night meets the music of Elvis Presley in this show about a 1950s small-town girl who falls for a charismatic rebel—and dons male attire to follow him. Onstage April 3-20 at the Manatee Players. 748-5875.

Broadway in Concert: The Who’s Tommy. Venice Little Theatre ventures into the sounds of the rock band’s opera about that pinball wizard, April 6-7 and 13-14. 488-1115.

By the Bog of Cats. The Florida premiere of a new drama by playwright Marina Carr, which sets a Medea-like story of vengeance in a small Irish town. Onstage April 10-27 at Venice Little Theatre’s Stage II. 488-1115.

Chicago. The razzle-dazzle musical about murder, the media and all that jazz returns to the Van Wezel, with performances at 3 and 8 p.m. April 13. 953-3368.

Toxic Audio. An a cappella evening featuring five voices, no instruments, as this Orlando-based company performs starting April 15 and running through May 4 at Florida Studio Theatre’s Stage III. They’ve won praise from everyone from William Shatner to Paul Shaffer; guess we’ll have to hear it to know what all the praise is about. 366-9000.

Guys and Dolls. The Frank Loesser musical hit from the Damon Runyon stories, presented by students in the Booker High VPA program April 16-19 at the school’s theater. 355-2967.

The Underpants. Steve Martin adapted this German farce (that may seem a misnomer) about the uproar that ensues in a staid household when the wife accidentally loses her underthings at a public rally. Onstage April 16 through May 4 at the Cook Theatre in an FSU/Asolo Conservatory production. 351-8000.

Rent. You’re young, you’re talented, you’re starving in New York…put yourself into this Jonathan Larsen musical megahit based on La Boheme, at 3 and 8 p.m. April 18 at Van Wezel. 953-3368.

Casting Shadows. A play by Bernie Yarnell that explores the influence of the advertising world, running April 18-20 at the Players Theatre. 365-2494.

Around the World in 80 Minutes. Sarasota Senior Theater presents this fantasy song-and-dance revue April 25-27 at the Players Theatre. 365-2494.
