Gablestage Theatre Company To Present Regional Premiere Of Delia Ephron’s LEFT ON TENTH
A romantic true story of second chances runs November 21–December 21, 2025, at the Wolfson Family Theatre in Coral Gables.
GableStage Theatre Company will present the regional premiere of Left on Tenth by Delia Ephron, the bestselling author and screenwriter known for You’ve Got Mail and The Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants. Performances run November 21–December 21, 2025, at the newly named Wolfson Family Theatre, home of GableStage at the historic Biltmore Hotel.
Based on Ephron’s memoir, Left on Tenth is a heartfelt and witty true story about love rediscovered and the courage to begin again. When a chance email reconnects two people from the past, an unexpected romance unfolds—infused with Ephron’s trademark humor and humanity. The play premiered on Broadway earlier this year, marking her return to the stage and celebrating resilience, connection, and the possibility of renewal.
Producing Artistic Director Bari Newport, who directs the regional premiere, said, “Left on Tenth is a sharp, sophisticated, full-of-heart reminder that the best stories are the ones we never see coming.”
In her message to the cast, Ephron added, “This play is about being brave enough to go for it in life, even when the odds are against you. It’s about second chances, friendship, medicine, and dogs—and how love can carry us through the hardest challenges.”
The cast features Dalia Aleman and Stephen Schnetzer in their GableStage debuts as Delia and Peter. Aleman is a South Florida favorite known for 9 to 5, Sister Act, Carousel, and Steel Magnolias. Schnetzer’s Broadway credits include Prayer for the French Republic, Oslo, and Wit; television audiences will recognize him from The Wire and Another World.
They are joined by Margot Moreland (Watson, Dirty Blonde, Fat Pig)—recipient of the 2022 Bill Hindman Special Carbonell Award—and Ben Sandomir, recently seen as Tevye in Fiddler on the Roof (Zoetic Stage). The production also features two canine performers, Buddy and Winston.
