The Marco Island Center for the Arts is delighted to announce an exciting change to its upcoming theater lineup. The Arts Center Theatre will now feature local theater favorite Joe Simonelli’s celebrated play, “Where There's a Will”, from November 6 to November 17, 2024.
In “Where There's a Will,” a whimsical twist of fate brings Shakespeare into the modern world, where he finds himself outside the home of Gordon Coldridge, a struggling playwright dealing with a demanding manager and an estranged girlfriend. Confronted with writer’s block and a looming deadline, Coldridge could use a helping hand - perhaps from England’s most renowned poet. Or is it the Bard of Avon himself who has come to his aid? This charming romantic comedy brims with humor and heart.
Joe Simonelli has published nearly two dozen plays that have been performed around the United States, Canada and the UK. He is represented by the late Neil Simon and Larry Gelbart’s agent, Gary DaSilva, who says that Simonelli is “in good company with his more famous counterparts.”
This production will replace the previously scheduled performance of “You're a Good Man, Charlie Brown.” The decision to feature Simonelli’s work underscores the theater’s commitment to showcasing and supporting talent in Southwest Florida.
The Marco Island Center for the Arts remains dedicated to offering exceptional cultural experiences and nurturing a vibrant arts community. We appreciate our patrons' understanding and continued support.
