October 22 thru November 20 Brooklyn Boy by Donald Margulies Florida Premiere
This new play (last season at Manhattan Theatre Club) by the 2000 Pulitzer Prize-Winner (Dinner With Friends) is about a novelist who has finally had success with a best selling novel primed for Hollywood adaptation. But can we ever really escape our roots? "Eloquent and touching! Has the courage to confront head-on the predictability of the mid-life crisis it portrays! Mr. Margulies's most personally heartfelt work!" – NY Times "Compelling and diverting! This is one of the most purely enjoyable plays to come along on Broadway in quite a while!" – Clive Barnes, NY Post January 7 thru February 12 ADDRESS UNKNOWN a new play adapted by Frank Dunlop from Kathrine Kressmann Taylor's novella. Florida PremiereThe story of a friendship between a San Francisco-based Jewish art dealer and his former business partner, who has returned to Germany as the Nazi Party comes to power. As these dear friends become ideological enemies, one commits a cowardly betrayal while the other plots an ingenious—and deadly—revenge. The play demonstrates how the seeds of prejudice take root in an atmosphere of hatred.

It's been almost 30 years since Joseph Papp opened this play at the Ambassador Theater on Broadway – but we promise you it is as funny, outrageous and relevant now.

The teacher is dictator and the audience is the student body."Mordant, funny, sometimes subtle and ultimately moving." N.Y. Times . "A tour de force for an actress.... Part tirade, part political allegory, part expressionist vaudeville show." N.Y. Daily News.
