In what is being hailed as the most exciting season to date for fans of Slow Burn Theatre Company’s high-caliber musical theater productions, five red-hot hits are set to delight and thrill South Florida audiences when MD Now® Slow Burn Theatre Company’s 2025/2026 Season presented by United Community Bank comes to the Amaturo Theater at the Broward Center for the Performing Arts.

“We are thrilled to welcome MD Now urgent care as the title sponsor for Slow Burn Theatre Company’s boldest season yet, and can’t wait for South Florida audiences to experience what we have in store this upcoming season,” said Slow Burn Theatre Artistic Director Patrick Fitzwater. “We are immensely grateful for the leadership and partnership of MD Now urgent care and our presenting sponsor United Community Bank, whose commitment ensures that award-winning regional theater continues to flourish and remain accessible right here in South Florida.”

This MD Now title partnership strengthens Slow Burn’s mission to bring high-caliber musical theater productions to South Florida audiences while nurturing the region’s vibrant artistic talent in a supportive, rewarding environment.

“MD Now urgent care is proud to support Slow Burn Theatre Company’s 2025/2026 season at the Broward Center,” said Tina Miller, regional vice president and COO of MD Now urgent care. “We believe the performing arts play a vital role in the health and well-being of our community, and we’re thrilled to help bring exceptional theatre experiences to South Florida audiences this season.”

Slow Burn is building on the momentum of last season, which saw the company celebrate its 15th anniversary and 10th season at the Broward Center along with 28 nominations and six wins at the 2024 Carbonell Awards, including Outstanding Production of a Musical for Disney’s “The Little Mermaid” and Outstanding Direction of a Musical for Fitzwater.

“American National Bank is now United Community, and we’re excited to support MD Now Slow Burn Theatre Company for the 7th consecutive season. Although our name has changed, our commitment to the arts has not and remains stronger than ever,” said Ginger Martin of United Community.

The 2025/2026 Slow Burn season is a dazzling celebration of music, heart and unstoppable determination, with five stories of ambition, identity and resilience taking center stage.
