Jacksonville, FL – 3/14/25 – ABET Theatre announces an important update to our current theatrical season. Due to recent artistic personnel changes and losses, we have made the difficult decision to revise our season’s lineup. Consequently, the previously announced productions of She Loves Me and The Spitfire Grill will be replaced by two fresh offerings: The Fantasticks and Four Old Broads on the High Seas.

“We understand our subscribers and patrons have eagerly anticipated our original lineup, and we deeply regret any inconvenience this change may cause,” said Raines Carr, Interim Artistic Director at ABET Theatre. “These decisions were not made lightly, and we are confident that our new programming will bring a unique and engaging experience to our community.” He added: “We want to honor our past while looking ahead to the future.”

Revised Season Highlights:

THE FANTASTICKS
This show has the long-standing reputation as the world’s longest-running musical. A timeless classic that enchants with its witty dialogue, charming romance, and innovative staging, promising an intimate and thought-provoking theatrical experience. 

 

FOUR OLD BROADS ON THE HIGH SEAS
A new raucous comedy adventure that celebrates the spirit and humor of life’s later chapters. This production offers a spirited twist on traditional narratives, ensuring laughter and lively entertainment for all. A sequel to our well-loved run of Four Old Broads last fall.

Refund and Ticket Exchange Policy:
We value our audience and their trust in our artistic vision. Should any subscriber or patron feel that the revised lineup does not meet their expectations, we are offering refunds for those who have already made reservations for The Spitfire Grill and She Loves Me. Please contact our box office at (904) 686-9872 or email us at hello@abetjax.org.

ABET Theatre remains dedicated to providing innovative and high-quality theatrical experiences. We appreciate your understanding and continued support during this transition, and we look forward to welcoming you to our renewed season.
