What the Butler Saw by Joe Orton

Ten Unknowns by Jon Robin Baitz

February 7 - March 7, 2004     FLORIDA PREMIERE

The play asks provocative questions about an aging, once-promising painter who has exiled himself to Mexico. How do artists go out of fashion, and what it is like to be left behind?

"Terrific! A sophisticated treat! A contemporary answer to the smart, probing talk of the plays of the S.N. Behrmans and Robert Sherwoods of decades ago!" - Ben Brantley, NY Times

'Master Harold'... and the boys by Athol Fugard

April 17 - May 23, 2004

Fugard's greatest work, this wrenching, coming-of-age drama is set in 1950s apartheid South Africa. Won the Drama Desk and Outer Critics Circle Awards for Best Play and was revived on Broadway last season to great acclaim.

"A REALLY FINE WORK SURVIVES ITS TIME. It does not depend on contemporary circumstances, but has lasting relevance. Master Harold can triumphantly survive any test of time. This is ELECTRIC THEATRE THAT CAN MOVE, SHOCK AND THRILL!" - Clive Barnes, N.Y. Post (2003 Broadway revival)

"A thoughtful work of art! Funny, scary, wrenching, wonderful, and above all, wise! Subtle, incisive, and thought-provoking!" - John Simon, New York Magazine

QED by Peter Parnell

June 19 - July 18, 2004     FLORIDA PREMIERE

Nobel Prize-winning physicist Richard Feynman holds forth with captivating wit and wisdom in this fascinating play. Considered the best mind since Einstein, he helped develop the atomic bomb, exposed the O-ring failure on the Challenger rocket and broke new ground in the field of quantum electrodynamics (QED). Eccentric to the extreme, his personal life was filled with eclectic interests - including playing the drums, frequenting topless bars, sketching nude models and acting in amateur theatricals.

"Who knew quantum electrodynamics could be so much fun? It's dazzling! Stampede for available tickets rather than merely rush!" - Clive Barnes, NY Post

TRUMBO by Christopher Trumbo

August 14 - September 12, 2004     FLORIDA PREMIERE

The recent Off-Broadway hit about Dalton Trumbo, the legendary screenplay writer of Exodus, Spartacus, and a blacklisted member of the "Hollywood Ten".

"ALTERNATELY GRANDILOQUENT, FEROCIOUS, WITHERING, SENTIMENTAL, THUNDEROUSLY OVERWROUGHT AND OFTEN HILARIOUS!" - Bruce Weber, New York Times

"A moving testament to the severe personal and professional cost of the red scare in Hollywood. Beautifully crafted, often UPROARIOUSLY FUNNY! POSITIVELY SIZZLES WITH WIT!" - Charles Isherwood, Variety
