Florida Rep Gains National Attention Fort Myers' own Florida Repertory Theatre was featured in the January 16th edition of the Wall Street Journal in a review of its current production, Dancing at Lughnasa by Brian Friel (playing thru Feb. 1.) Acclaimed drama critic, Terry Teachout was in attendance for the opening, and calls the production a "modern masterpiece...sympathetic...profoundly satisfying...a model of creative taste." |
"It truly is an honor," said Producing Artistic Director, Robert Cacioppo. "It is a wonderful thing for Florida Rep to be recognized on a national level, and the work that Mr. Teachout continues to do for regional theatre is remarkable. In times like these, especially, it is crucial that arts organizations have an advocate like him spreading the word about what we do in our communities." In an interview with Florida Weekly, Teachout told Nancy Stetson that the Wall Street Journal began an experiment few years ago, sending him out into the country to cover regional theatre.FALL IN LOVE TODAY!
