Asolo Repertory Theatre's annual play festival will showcase four world premiere plays, including a Greenfield Prize-winning piece by noted playwright John Guare (House of Blue Leaves, Six Degrees of Separation), Eddie in the Andes. Showcasing the freshest talents writing for the theatre today, the fourth edition of Unplugged will also present readings of new theatrical works by Deborah Zoe Laufer, Informed Consent; Rogelio Martinez, When Tang Met Laika; and Steven Drukman, Marquis Aurelius. The staged readings will be the first time these new works-in-progress are read aloud publicly, and each reading will be followed by a conversation between the playwright and the audience. "A unique aspect of Unplugged is the opportunity for the audience to help shape the work of art from the ground up," said Greg Leaming, Director of The FSU/Asolo Conservatory for Actor Training, Associate Artistic Director for Asolo Rep, and curator for the Unplugged New Play Festival. "Some playwrights choose to use the feedback they receive during these post-reading conversations to hone the work before they consider it finished."

Asolo Repertory Theatre challenges its audiences to answer questions both women and men have been asking themselves since the second wave of feminism emerged in the 1960's: is it possible for women to balance a career and a family at the same time? If yes, then does 'having it all' equate fulfillment in life? The Heidi Chronicles, Wendy Wasserstein's 1989 Pulitzer and Tony Award winning play, maps the coming of age of Heidi Holland, a member of the baby boomer generation and a successful art historian, during the 1960's, 1970's, and 1980's.

In a beauty parlor in small-town Chinquapin, Louisiana, six very different women come together to share their secrets and bare their souls, throwing in a little neighborly gossip for good measure. Based on playwright Robert Harling's own experiences with his mother and sister, STEEL MAGNOLIAS is packed with hilarious Southern repartee ('If you can't find anything good to say about anybody, come sit by me'), woven throughout this heart-warming story of friendship among a close-knit group of women who are 'fragile as flowers, strong as steel.'
