- Florence Foster Jenkind
I’ll keep this week’s recommendations brief. Circuit Playhouse’s production of The Seafarer boasts a strong cast and a fantastic script. With a storyline that might have been plucked from a lost episode of The Twilight Zone it’s a funny infernal antidote to traditional holiday programming.
Fortunately for theatergoers The Seafarer isn’t the only non-traditional holiday offering this season. David Sedaris’s Santaland Diaries is back, this time in a cabaret setting with the always excellent David Foster taking on the role of Crumpet the grumpy elf. This week, however, I’m most excited about the regional debut of Souvenir, a play about the notoriously horrible singer Florence Foster Jenkins and her piano player Cosme McMoon.
