    Don't Miss Lettice and Lovage by Peter Shaffer – opens April 30

    Performances:  April 30, May 1, 2, 6, 7, 8, 9 Evenings at 8 PM Sundays at 2 PM

    Be sure to reserve your seat early!  Our last two shows have sold out for several performances and
    we hate turning folks away!

    At its heart, British playwright Peter Shaffer's sparkling 1987 comedy, Lettice and Lovage, is about
    overcoming mediocrity. Stately home tour guide, theatrical Lettice Douffet, creates interest in boring
    Fustian House to entertain and inform her tourists.

    Lettice grew up in a family troupe of traveling Shakespearean actors. Her dingy basement flat in
    London's Earls Court is stuffed with old costumes and props, which she uses to gussy-up her tours of
    dull Fustian House. Over three different tours, she begins to depart from the boring Preservation
    Trust tour script to embark on a cycle of escalating historical embellishment. Into her most extravagant
    invention marches hortatory Lotte Schoen, her employer from the Trust and Lettice is in serious
    trouble.

    Lotte is stiff and starchy and a historical purist who wears her gray suit like a policewoman's uniform.
    Only facts matter in the closed box of her mind. The play is wonderful scenes of verbal wit, farce and
    drama.  

    Peter Shaffer is the author of Equus,  Amadeus and Royal Hunt of the Sun.

    Cinderella Auditions!

    Youth Actors ages 11+ - dancers, singers, talent show contestants....

    Sunday May 23 at 3 PM and Monday May 24 at 7 PM at the Daytona Playhouse

    Daytona Playhouse will present Cinderella by Stuart Ardern and Bob Heather – a very funny, campy
    Cinderella.  The cast is large with a chorus.  For the Ball, we are looking for a few “talent show” acts
    such as juggling, magic, etc.  to entertain the Prince.  The Ugly Sisters will be played by boys as this is
    an English pantomime show and boys always play such parts – dressed as girls but acting like boys...
    no experience required.  No prepared singing required – just do your best Happy Birthday if you are
    interested in a singing lead.  All parts will be played by Youth Actors.
