Imagine the thrill of witnessing an actor stepping onto the stage with a script they are performing for the first time on stage, a character they've never met, and a story they've never heard. The result is a rollercoaster of emotions, from the emotionally vulnerable moments to the uproarious laughter that can erupt at any time.

An empty stage is all the stands before us, at its center a girl on the floor in a daydream, or just merely sleeping. After a few brief moments of staring at her like we’ve just seen an accident that we cannot turn away from; the lights dim and she awakens. “I am here, your Magician.” A few moments later the Magician recognizes us as her audience and brings us into her sweeping tale of love, tragedy, and imagination.

The Tampa Repertory Theatre presents the Tampa area premiere of Crystal Skillman's hit Off-Broadway play OPEN, and the remount of their lauded June 2021 production of EVERY BRILLIANT THING by Duncan Macmillan and Johnny Donahoe, both running Thursdays through Sundays, Sep 16- Oct 3, 2021 at HCC Ybor's Performing Arts center.

As the lights descend on the stage set on the inside of the Coral Gables Police precinct, not a sound is heard. With bated breath, I and the sold-out opening night audience awaited what was to be on display in a matter of seconds. At rising we see Kendra a woman alone in the police station, only the sound of rolling thunder is heard. Kendra anxious and silent, paces and sends a text message, lost in thought, lost in panic, in a world all too close to home in this present timeline we, like Kendra, fear the worst. Similarly, over the past two years, books have been written, protests have been done, all in support of one initiative, and Christopher Demos-Browns’ script bears witness to the present struggle.

Stageworks Theatre is revving its engines for what is sure to be a summer to remember in the Channel District with the works of Pulitzer Prize-winning dramatist Stephen Adly Guirgis, whose play, The Mother****er With the Hat, will run July 9-26 after, which recently had a successful run in London by a local theatre company.

After a year of unprecedented success in bringing the best theatre to the Channel District, Stageworks announced what it deems 'our most ambitious season,' unveiling plans for 2015-16 which include a world premiere and a guest appearance by John Pinckard, a two-time Tony Award winner and co-producer of the critically-acclaimed Gentleman's Guide to Love and Murder.
