Gulfshore Playhouse and the Phil announce partnership for 2012-13

Gulfshore Playhouse has announced a partnership with the Philharmonic Center for the Arts in the 2012-13 season, presenting its production of Terrence McNally’s award-winning “Master Class” at the Phil from April 5-21, 2013 (preview performance on April 4).

Gulfshore Playhouse and the Phil will also partner for the production of “Art,” which will be staged Oct. 20-Nov. 18 at The Norris Center. Ticket-holders for “Art” will be entitled to two-for-one admission to the Patty & Jay Baker Naples Museum of Art, while patrons with a museum ticket will receive a 10 percent discount on a ticket to “Art.”

“We are committed to nurturing all of the arts in this community, and it makes good sense to bring local professional theater to our hall,” says Philharmonic Center CEO and President Kathleen van Bergen. Gulfshore Playhouse at the Phil is one of several arts partnerships for the 2012-13 season that the Phil expects to announce in the coming months, Ms. van Bergen adds.
