Pembroke Pines audiences have a local chance to see a Hollywood-themed stage show without leaving town. The Pembroke Pines Theatre of the Performing Arts opens its summer season Friday, July 17, with "Hooray for Hollywood: Celebrating the Magic of the Movies" at the Susan B. Katz Theatre in River of Grass Arts Park.
