story of two writers and their wives who take both the high road and
the low road and somehow end up in the same hilarious mess. A comic
study of the meaning of loyalty and honor and dignity, and their

and the erosion of values. The comedy hit of our 2005 New Voices
play-reading series.

premiere production of a true story of a life-changing friendship by
the acclaimed author Time Magazine called "The greatest living
active playwright in the English speaking world." Winner of three
2004 L.A. OVATION Awards, including Best World Premiere Play.

surrounding Olduvai Gorge in Tanzania, the birthplace of mankind.
Two American couples, one on a relief mission, the other on an
anthropological academic assignment, meet in this "cradle of man"
and ponder their old established principles and priorities. But,
facades crack under the sub- equatorial sun. Bodies come together
and lives come apart in this extraordinary place, to reveal the
anthropology of the human heart. The dramatic hit of our 2005 New
Voices play-reading series.ELLA: OFF THE RECORD Conceived by Rob Ruggiero & Dyke Garrison,
March 17 – April 23. The year is 1966 and Ella Fitzgerald invites a
combo of her favorite musicians to jam with her at a Los Angeles
studio. As the session unfolds, we meet the singer as we've always
wanted to know her. Swept along by a cascade of her best-loved
music, we share Ella's highs and lows as she breaks through to her
own musical celebration of living.
June 11. In this explosive drama that speaks to the mind and the
heart, Leigh Sangold, Nobel prize-winning astrophysicist, decides to
take on the ultimate scientific experiment: to prove or disprove the
existence of God. Leigh's pursuit throws into chaos her relationship
with the Rabbi who's been her closest friend – and in love with her –
since they were kids. A provocative exploration of faith versus
science versus love.Please note that all titles are subject to change without notice.About Florida Stage
