World Premiere of The Swingset by Kristyn Estes Comes to Marco Island Arts' Arts Center Theatre

Marco Island, FL –July 26, 2024 –Marco Island Center for the Arts’ Arts Center Theatre is proud to announce the world premiere of "”The Swingset”, a lighthearted adult comedy written by Kristyn Estes.  The production will take the stage on Friday, September 6 at 7:00pm and Saturday and Sunday September 7 & 8 and 14 & 15 at 3:00pm 

“The Swingset” is an entertaining story of mixed signals, mishaps and miscommunication that sends its two characters, Jake and Abby, into a romantic tailspin - sure to deliver audiences a ‘swingin’ good time,” said playwright Kristyn Estes, who stars in the show alongside noted actor Fred Buchalter. The comedic script chronicles Jake and Abby’s retirement move to their Florida island dream home. However, Jake fears the dream has become a nightmare after he discovers the island’s naughty little secret, and it appears that Abby has much wilder ideas about their next chapter. 

The “Swingset” was a featured entry in the Arts Center Theatre’s Play Reading program in 2022 where it received a rousing reception, and a decision was made to fully stage the show at the same venue in 2024. 

Join us for an unforgettable theatrical experience. Tickets for "The Swingset" are available at https://www.marcoislandart.org/arts-center-theatre/ or by calling 239- 784-1186.  Ticket prices are $25.
