GableStage 2005-2006 Season Announced

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 Premiere

The 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.

"Good old-fashioned thriller! Packs a surprising conclusion!" – The
Star-Ledger "Lands with the grace of a butterfly to deliver the
sting of a wasp!" -- Variety

March 11 thru April 9
INTIMATE APPAREL by Lynn Nottage
Florida Premiere

Presented at the Roundabout Theatre Company in New York last season,
it is a deeply moving portrait of Esther, a middle aged African-
American seamstress who creates lingerie for socialites and
courtesans alike in early 20th century New York. Winner of The New
York Drama Critics Circle and Outer Critics Awards for Best Play.

"New York has no richer play!" – NY Daily News 

"About real people whom we get to know and care about! Complex,
sometimes touching, sometimes painful! A must! As memorably intimate
as the intricate unmentionables it's heroine creates!" – John Simon,
New York Magazine

May 6 thru June 4
MISS MARGARIDA'S WAY by Roberto Athayde

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. Audiences and critics in over 50
countries have cheered this allegory about totalitarianism which
uses as its central metaphor a biology classroom. 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.

July 1 – July 30
THIS IS HOW IT GOES by Neil LaBute
Florida Premiere

This new play by our most controversial playwright opened last
season at New York's Public Theater. It is about an interracial love
triangle in a small town in America, which sets off a fierce drama
of manipulation, exploitation, infidelity, and passion.

"Darkly comic… no-nonsense truth-hurts style… biting dialogue!" –
Associated Press  "A writer of ideas. It is a great and rare thing
to be unsettled in the theatre. LaBute accomplishes that here!" –
The New Yorker

Performances:
Thursday, Friday, Saturday at 8 pm
