This week one of our hosts, Natalie, shares a little bit about her career as a professional actress and about her upcoming shows in the Fort Myers, FL area. She performs all throughout the East Coast, but has mostly been in Florida as of recently, and has three shows coming up at Players Circle Theatre, Florida Repertory Theatre, and The Broadway Palm Dinner Theatre.

Currently she is working at Players Circle Theatre doing a Christmas Concert/Cabaret called Ho! Ho! Ho! The Christmas Show. It is a one act, 90 minute performance full of some of the greatest Christmas and Holiday songs of all times! From Silent Night to Feliz Navidad and even a special visit from Elvis, it’s a great way to spend your time enjoying the season and doing something festive if you are going to be in Fort Myers anytime during the month of December. The show runs from now until December 23rd, 2023. The theatre is located off of McGregor Blvd, and you can go to playerscircletheater.com for tickets and information. This is the last show she is in with them for a little while, but you can check out the rest of their season on the website or on FB/Instagram!

Next she will be performing in one of the hottest jukebox musicals that is currently out there – Beehive! According to Theatrical Rights Worldwide: “BEEHIVE celebrates the powerful female voices of the 1960’s with such timeless hits as “My Boyfriend’s Back,” “Be My Baby,” “Son of a Preacher Man,” and “Me and Bobby McGee.” Told from the perspective of six young women who come of age in this enigmatic decade, BEEHIVE takes us from their first Beehive Dance to the challenges we faced as a nation.” This show will be held at Florida Repertory Theatre, in downtown Fort Myers, FL. You can access information and tickets at floridarep.org, and it runs from January 9th-28th, with a possible extension to the 31st.

Right after Beehive, Natalie will be jumping into rehearsals for Beautiful: The Carole King Musical at The Broadway Palm Dinner Theatre, also in Fort Myers, FL. This theatre does a lot of big musicals, so definitely check out their website to see what other exciting shows you’d be interested in seeing this next year! Broadwaypalm.com. And the food there is quite delicious, as it is a dinner theatre after all. She will be playing Betty and other ensemble roles, while understudying the Carole King role. The show runs from February 23rd-April 4th.
