Island City Stage

The award-winning <a href="https://islandcitystage.org/" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">Island City Stage</a> launches its 15th anniversary season in outrageous celebratory style! Get set for a raucous ride paying homage to everyone’s favorite drama queen, Joan Crawford, in the theater company’s revival of the hit world premiere of Michael Leeds’ Who Killed Joan Crawford? The show runs October 1 – 25 with tickets on sale now. 
On a dark, stormy night in 1993, five men arrive at a cabin for a soap star's surprise birthday party. Each guest has been asked to dress as the birthday boy’s favorite actress, Joan Crawford, in one of her signature roles… and the results aren't pretty! As they wait for the star, the five "Joans" begin drinking and dishing. Dark secrets emerge and soon there’s one Joan less ... and then another... leaving the remaining Joans — and the audience — asking, “Who Killed Joan Crawford?!” 
The show is both written and directed by Michael Leeds. Leeds began his career performing on Broadway under the direction of such luminaries as Gower Champion, Ron Field, and Martin Scorsese before moving into directing, choreographing and writing. As a writer/director, Leeds is perhaps best known for writing and directing Swinging On A Star on Broadway, which received a Tony Award nomination for Best Musical. His plays also include The First Step, Impressions, The Gift, Starmaker, and his adaptation of Cole Porter’s Red, Hot And Blue which he directed at both Goodspeed Opera and PaperMill Playhouse as well as co-writing book, music and lyrics for Mating Habits of the Urban Mammal which has had productions throughout the country. For film, Leeds’ history with director Linda Yellen began when he choreographed End of Summer starring Jacqueline Bisset and Peter Weller. Since then he co-wrote with Yellen, The Simian Line starring William Hurt, Lynn Redgrave and Tyne Daly, The Last Film Festival starring Dennis Hopper and Jacqueline Bisset, Showtime’s Fluidity starring Nico Tortorella, and Chantilly Bridge, starring Lindsay Crouse, Jill Eikenberry, Ally Sheedy, Talia Shire, Patricia Richardson, Helen Slater and JoBeth Williams (Paramount+). His latest film, an adaptation of Stewart Lewis’s YA book, One Stupid Thing, starring Corey Fogelmanis (Girl Meets World), Skye Katz (Surviving Summer) and Jack White was awarded Best Picture at the Boston International Film Festival, Best Feature at the Edinburgh Film Festival, and is currently a semi-finalist in the London International Filmmakers Festival. As a director, aside from his Broadway credits, Leeds directed and choreographed the production of Hello Muddah, Hello Faddah - The Songs of Allan Sherman for which he was nominated for a Drama Desk Award for Best Director/Best Choreographer. Other Off Broadway credits include Showing Off, the York Theatre’s revivals of 70, Girls, 70 and Lerner &amp; Lane’s Carmelina which he adapted with the original book writer Joe Stein. His production of the European premiere of Arthur Miller’s Playing For Time won the prestigious Edinburgh Fringe Festival First Award. He also directed and choreographed A Little Night Music for the Houston Grand Opera and Marc Blitzstein’s Regina for Florida Grand Opera. In South Florida, he’s directed at GableStage, Palm Beach DramaWorks, Broward Stage Door Theatre and Island City Stage where he is associate artistic director. His many productions there have earned him South Florida’s highest honors: the Carbonell, Remy and Silver Palm Awards.
Island City Stage’s 2026 revival production of Who Killed Joan Crawford? stars Michael Coppola (Harvey Goldberg), Luke Di Liddo (David Hoch), Christopher Dreeson (Stewart Fry), Jay Eisler (Trick Roberts), Bruce Linser (Gene Harlowe) and Stephen Trovillion (Leo Lawrence). 
Who Killed Joan Crawford? Co-producers are Mark Tews &amp; Raymond Griffis, Jeffrey Danielson and Michael Mullins &amp; Terry Gaw. Lights and Sound Sponsor is Scott Bennett andSet Sponsor is Glenn Goldberg. Costume Sponsors are The Doug Pew &amp; Don Croxton LGBT Trust at Our Fund.

To the Nines” Fundraiser at MAD Arts to Celebrate Creativity While Supporting Arts Education and South Florida Artists
On Saturday, October 10, 2026, from 6–10 p.m., Art Prevails Project will transform MAD Arts Museum, 481 S. Federal Highway in Dania Beach, into an immersive world of creativity for To the Nines, a fundraising experience supporting the organization’s year-round work through performance and education.
Inspired by the nine muses of Greek mythology, To the Nines invites guests to experience art rather than merely observe it. Throughout the evening, artistic expression will unfold across MAD Arts, a state-of-the-art museum known for blending digital innovation, technology and experiential art.
Guests can expect an interactive painting experience, custom-written poetry, a live harpist, a fashion show, pop-up theatrical performances, live music, and artistic surprises that celebrate the many ways creativity connects and inspires.
“To the Nines celebrates what becomes possible when we create space for artists, young people, and communities to experience the arts’ power,” said Darius Daughtry, founder and executive artistic director of Art Prevails Project. “We want people to walk into MAD Arts, be surrounded by creativity, and understand that their support makes this work possible throughout the year.”
For the Art Prevails Project, the fundraiser is more than a single evening. It is an investment in work at the intersection of the arts, education and community.
Through the literary and performing arts, the organization creates opportunities for young people and adults to discover their voices, experience culturally relevant programming, and connect through storytelling and performance.
Its work includes:
<ul>
<li>Arts education: Bringing teaching artists and creative programming into schools and classrooms, providing students with opportunities to write, perform, explore, and express themselves.</li>
<li>Our Voices: Creating literary experiences that elevate storytelling, poetry, and spoken word while amplifying community voices.</li>
<li>Live performances: Producing culturally relevant theatrical, musical, poetic, and multidisciplinary experiences.</li>
<li>Artist opportunities: Providing platforms for poets, actors, musicians, dancers, writers and other creatives to develop and share their work.</li>
<li>Community engagement: Using performance and education to create spaces where people can see themselves and their experiences reflected in the art.</li>
</ul>
At the center of that work is a simple belief: everyone deserves access to the arts and the opportunity to discover their own creative voice.
As arts and cultural organizations navigate an increasingly uncertain funding environment, community support is critical to sustaining programs that reach students, employ artists, and make arts experiences accessible.
“The need for creative spaces isn’t disappearing,” Daughtry said. “Our communities need places where young people discover that their stories matter, where artists can create, and where people can come together and see themselves reflected. Every ticket, sponsorship, and contribution through To the Nines helps us continue that work.”
Rather than a traditional gala, To the Nines is designed as an experience in motion, with guests discovering performances, installations and artistic encounters throughout the evening. MAD Arts’ fusion of art, technology and immersive environments provides a fitting backdrop for experiences inspired by the nine muses, traditionally associated with poetry, music, dance, history, comedy, tragedy and other forms of artistic expression.
Proceeds will support the Art Prevails Project’s arts education, literary arts, live performance, artist development and community programming. Individuals, corporations, foundations and community partners are invited to participate through sponsorships, ticket purchases, contributions and donations of auction items or experiences.
