SEASON OF THE ARTS
Treasure Coast’s theater season promises
world-class dance, drama, musicals and more
Once again Treasure Coast theater-goers can expect
a blockbuster season with shows that can transport
them to a different place — one where the internet,
the phone, the worries don’t intrude.
Shows can be magical. They can make you laugh, inspire
you, walk you down memory lane, teach you things you
never knew and sometimes make you wish you could see the
whole thing twice.
After last year’s roaring success with two National Geographic
shows, the Lyric Theatre in Stuart rushed to book two
more for this year. These are shows that both teach and transport
audiences to another place with National Geographic’s
stunning photography and speakers offering personal insight
you won’t get elsewhere.
