There will be two understudy performances on Sunday, Nov. 3 at 3:30 p.m. and Thursday, Nov. 14 at 7:30 p.m. Single tickets are now on sale at RedtwistTheatre.org with discounts available for seniors, students and industry professionals and pay-what-you-can for all Friday performances.
October brings the world premiere of Jacqueline Goldfinger's Bottle Fly, a beautiful depiction of queer survival in the Everglades capturing the many layered dynamics of race, poverty and bigotry that are sun-baked into life in South Florida. Winner of the 2017 Yale Drama Series prize, Bottle Fly explores love in many guises and all of its complexity. As the future of gay rights in America is once again making headlines, Redtwist believes this play will be a touchstone for important conversations.
