Florida Rep Announces its Lucky 13th Season

Florida Repertory Theatre announced its Lucky 13th Season of Award Winning theatre that the Wall Street Journal called 'Profoundly Satisfying!'

Florida Rep's 13th season includes some of the hottest titles in America, two plays in the NEW Studio, a revival of the company's inaugural production, and boasts subscription packages that make theatre more affordable than ever.

The current season has been one of laughter and escape, highlighted by record-breaking attendance and even more national recognition when The Wall Street Journal counted Florida Rep among some of the "Best Theatre of 2009." .

NOISES OFF by Michael Frayn
Oct. 26-Nov. 20
A revival of Florida Rep's Inaugural production, over a million people have wept with laughter at arguably the best farce ever written. This comic romp follows the exploits of a hapless theatre troupe trying to mount a sex farce - while a real-life farce is unfolding backstage.

GASLIGHT by Pat Rick Hamilton
Nov. 30-Dec. 19
Set in fog-bound London in 1880, Gaslight is a classic psychological thriller that tells the story of the Manninghams of Angel Street. Under the guise of kindliness, the handsome Mr. Manningham is torturing his wife into insanity in hopes of getting away with murder.

THE SANTALAND DIARIES by David Sedaris; Adapted by Joe Mantello
Dec. 9-23 Crumpet the Elf is back for another season of mischief in the New Florida Rep Studio. In a play The News-Press called "More naughty than nice," audiences will once again be treated to David Sedaris' unique brand of thorny Holiday comedy.

SYLVIA by A.R. Gurney
Jan. 4-23
From the author of Florida Rep hits, The Middle Ages and A Cocktail Hour, Sylvia is a hilarious and intelligent comedy about a man, his wife and the street-smart mutt who puts their marriage in the doghouse. *Note: Replacing the previously announced, Collected Stories.

Alfred Hitchcock's THE 39 STEPS
Adapted by Patrick Barlow, from the novel by John Buchan
Feb. 1-26
Still running in New York, The 39 Steps is the Broadway sensation where Hitchcock meets Hilarious. This two-time Tony-winning treat is part Hitchcock thriller and part Monty Python that is filled with nonstop laughs, over 150 zany characters (played by just four actors) and some good old-fashioned romance.

THE LADY WITH ALL THE ANSWERS by David Rambo
Feb. 10-26

In the NEW Florida Rep Studio

For decades, renowned advice columnist Ann Landers answered letters from Americans in need of advice. In this witty and touching comedy, Landers finds herself on deadline for a column about a new kind of heartbreak...her own.

AUGUST: OSAGE COUNTY by Tracy Letts
Mar. 8-27
The most honored and critically acclaimed play of the last decade, August: Osage County is a darkly comic and terrifyingly real play about a family approaching total meltdown. This Pulitzer & Tony-winning drama delights in its very adult content, mature language and dramatic situations. It is the kind of play you won't forget, but is not recommended for the easily offended.

MIRACLE ON SOUTH DIVISION STREET by Tom Dudzick
Apr. 5-24
According to family legend, there was a miracle on South Division Street when the Blessed Mother appeared in one man's barbershop. From the author of Florida Rep hits, Greetings! and Over the Tavern, comes this touchingly miraculous NEW comedy where a deathbed confession changes everything.

THE DEVIL'S MUSIC
The Life and Blues of Bessie Smith by Angelo Parra
May 3-22
Sexy and racy blues singer, Bessie Smith, was the most successful entertainer of her time, and takes center stage to tell the story of her amazing life.
