Destroying David — Spotlight Series at Waterfront Playhouse

Destroying David Comes to Waterfront Playhouse Key West

Destroying David comes to the Waterfront Playhouse in Key West as part of the theater’s Spotlight Series, with performances scheduled from November 12 through November 14, 2026.

This intimate theatrical work invites audiences into a thoughtful discussion of Michelangelo’s David at the Galleria dell’Accademia in Florence. Led by a tour guide, the play explores how great art can hold beauty, memory, grief, and meaning across generations.

As part of the Spotlight Series, Destroying David is built for a close audience connection. The production offers a more personal and reflective theater experience, centered on the emotional power of sculpture, storytelling, and the shared presence of a live audience.

The play has earned strong praise for its intelligence, emotional depth, and theatrical impact. Stage & Cinema called Destroying David “more than just a play,” describing it as a beautiful theatrical ritual with striking emotional power. Gay Desert Guide praised it as “a triumph,” calling it enthralling, funny, engaging, and thought-provoking.

For Key West theatergoers, Destroying David offers a compelling night of live performance inside one of Old Town’s most intimate cultural venues. Located at Mallory Square, the Waterfront Playhouse provides an ideal setting for this kind of focused, art-centered storytelling.
