Each year, Patrick and I reflect with pride and gratitude on how far Slow Burn Theatre has come. What started in a high school auditorium in West Boca has grown into a thriving professional theatre company celebrating its 15th season and 10 remarkable years at the Broward Center for the Performing Arts.

This journey would not have been possible without the unwavering support of our incredible donors, audiences, dedicated artists, and passionate staff. The collective belief in our vision has allowed us to bring stories to life, inspire through the arts, and contribute to a vibrant theatrical community in South Florida.

As we look ahead, we remain committed to delivering exceptional productions that entertain, challenge, and connect us all. Thank you for being an integral part of the Slow Burn Theatre family. Here’s to many more seasons of storytelling together. 

HAPPY HOLIDAYS!
