John Guare is a highly-celebrated American playwright. He is best known as the author of The House of Blue Leaves (winner of four Tony Awards), Six Degrees of Separation (which earned a nomination for the Pulitzer Prize for Drama), and Landscape of the Body. His style, which mixes comic invention with an acute sense of the failure of human relations and aspirations, is at once cruel and deeply compassionate. His latest work, A Free Man of Color, was recently presented at the Lincoln Center Theatre, and was called "a thrillingly inventive tour of the racial, sexual, and geopolitical landscape of 1801 New Orleans" (Vogue, 2010.)

Now in its 11th year, Backstage at Theatre Club was created by Florida stage to provide literary and arts enthusiasts with an opportunity to engage in stimulating discussions about current works.

Florida Stage is a member of the League of Resident Theatres, Theatre Communications Group, Florida Professional Theatre Association, the National Alliance for Musical Theatre and the National New Play Network, and works in association with Actors Equity Association, the Society of Stage Directors and Choreographers and United Scenic Artists.

Funded in part by grants from the National Endowment for the Arts, the county of Palm Beach and Florida Arts, with generous support from The Shubert Foundation, The Heckscher Foundation for Children, The Duane & Dalia Stiller Charitable Trust, Gulf Stream Lumber, Northern Trust Bank of Florida N.A., Fidelity Federal Bank & Trust, and hundreds of individuals and corporations.
