AS WRITTEN FOR A LOCAL PUBLICATION

Curtain Call for a Cause is truly a Stage for Charity.


Guy Schumacher, an involved resident of Encanterra, saw an opportunity to combine his love for theater with the community’s strong philanthropic spirit. The result was Curtain Call for a Cause, a club dedicated to bringing neighbors together to create performance opportunities, all while supporting important charitable causes.


Guy’s vision isn’t just about outing on a good show – it’s about fostering connections, building skills, and giving back to both local and global charities in need.


The beauty if this initiative lies in its ability to involve everyone. Every resident, no matter their experience level, can participate. From directing and producing to set construction and playbill design, prop crew, sound fundraising, and event greeters there’s a role for those who want to get involved.


“Bringing neighbors together to perform, watching them build upon newfound skills, establish long-lasting friendships along the way, and perform to an audience of hundreds within the community, all for a cause, is tremendously rewarding, “ says Guy.


It’s clear that Curtain Call for a Cause is much more than just a theater club – it’s a way to unite the community in the shared goal of making a positive impact.

CURRENT PERFORMANCES

Suite Surrender is produced with special arrangements by Playscripts Inc. (www.playscripts.com)


It’s the 1940s, and two of Hollywood's biggest divas have descended upon the luxurious Palm Beach Royale Hotel and Spa-- assistants, luggage, and a legendary feud with one another all in tow. Everything seems to be in order for their wartime performance...that is, until they are somehow assigned to the same suite. Mistaken identities, overblown egos, double entendres, and a lap dog named Mr. Boodles round out this hilarious riot of a love note to the classic farces of the 30s and 40s.
