“Boca” is a regional premiere. Act II Playhouse is only the second professional theatre company in the United States to present the play and it kicks off the Playhouse’s celebration of 25 years of live theatre in Ambler.

Set at the Boca Oasis Retirement Community – a little slice of heaven in Boca Raton, Florida – where the grass is always freshly mowed and the temperature stays at a steady 75 (just like the community’s well-maintained residents), the play tells the story of a group of retirees who, in a series of short interweaving comic scenes, learn the key to happiness may lie within their own community.

The cast are all familiar faces at Act II Playhouse, having collectively appeared in more than a dozen shows there. They include: Mary Martello, Ellen Ratner, Penelope Reed, Peter Schmitz, and Tom Teti.

“For this production we have assembled a dream team of funny people,” said “Boca” director and Act II Playhouse Artistic Director, Tony Braithwaite.

“This amazing group of Philly theatre icons will speak the witty Neil Simon-esque dialogue of this play perfectly! Everyone at the Playhouse is so honored to give this veteran group of performers the perfect showcase of their well-honed comedic talents.”
