Stage West, the intimate 123-seat theater where Florida Stage got its start, is reawakening to its former prominence with a variety of performances that fill a previously unmet need in Palm Beach County. Stage West is located behind the larger, better known Duncan Theatre at Palm Beach Community College in Lake Worth at 4200 Congress Ave.
Tour of Independent Filmmakers Southern Circuit is the nation’s only regional tour of independent filmmakers, providing communities with an interactive way of experiencing independent film. The tour takes the audience away from their televisions, DVD players, and computers to connect them with independent filmmakers and encourage them to talk with one another about the films and their meanings. Southern Circuit transforms watching independent films from a solitary experience into a communal one. February 7, 2008 - APPARITION OF THE ETERNAL CHURCH by Paul Festa

Faced with the challenge of putting Messiaen's apocalyptic music into words, listeners including filmmakers Sandi Dubowski and John Cameron Mitchell, authors Harold Bloom and Lemony Snicket, drag star Justin Bond as 'Kiki,' and Scissor Sisters singer Ana Matronic tell a story as erotic as it is sacred, as hilarious as it is harrowing.
