Of course, comedies abound with a one-person tour-de-force in Fully Committed, a heart-lifting romantic comedy in Bloomsday, and a new play about senior citizens misbehaving in Boca! We hope you’ll join us for every laugh, every tear, and every story told on our stages this Season.
As the lights dim, remember that your being here tonight (today) is no small thing. You share a connection to a millennium-old tradition that has its roots in the dawn of civilization. From the Ancient Greek amphitheaters where audiences first heard the words of Aeschylus and Euripides to the Renaissance, when Shakespeare tried new verses, to the Golden Age of American Musical Theatre when Rodgers & Hammerstein gambled on a bold new artform, and even to the mid-twentieth century when Margo Jones and Zelda Fichandler started a regional theatre movement that made companies like Florida Rep possible in our community – you’re connected to it all.
If today we make you laugh, applaud, or sit forward in your seat, know that you carry the same emotion and excitement as those first audiences. Theatre is a rare communal experience, and because you came to the theatre today, you help us to ensure that this sacred art form will continue to spark curiosity, provoke discussion, and lift spirits for another twenty-seven seasons.
Thank you for supporting the arts, and thank you for coming to the theatre!
Greg Longenhagen
Producing Artistic Director
On behalf of the Board of Directors, I would like to welcome you to our 27th season.
Wasn’t last season terrific?! You may think it hard to top, but in true Florida Rep fashion, you know we have a season of great theater planned for you. Our active education department will bring a new series of Theatre for Young Audiences productions for student audiences in schools across Lee County and beyond, offer two Conservatory theatre productions for advanced students, and summer arts intensive camps for students of all ages and skill abilities. We hope you will encourage any young people in your life to participate and we hope you attend some or all of these fabulous educational productions.
This season our Executive Director John Martin will transition into retirement after 23 seasons of dedication to Florida Rep. His departure will be bittersweet but we wish him well and prepare to welcome a new Executive Director, Chris Verrill, recently appointed by our Board of Directors following a nationwide search. We invite you to say hello and welcome him into our Florida Rep family.
This season, we continue to rebuild and renovate our theatre spaces devastated by Hurricane Ian. It is only through the financial support from you - our patrons and donors - that this is possible.
Your ongoing support enables us to continue presenting the Broadway-quality productions you deserve. Ticket sales alone cannot sustain us, so please consider donating today. Your contribution helps secure the future of Florida Rep so it may continue to be a vibrant part of the cultural landscape of Southwest Florida.
In closing, we invite you to sit back and enjoy the show.
Janice Danzig, Chairperson Board of Directors
Welcome to the 27th season at the Florida Repertory Theatre! Your presence and patronage are the lifeblood of the Florida Rep, and I’m thrilled to welcome you for what promises to be a remarkable season.
I know that this season will present a diverse array of productions that will captivate, entertain, and inspire you. From timeless classics to contemporary masterpieces, Florida Rep’s carefully curated lineup reflects their commitment to delivering high-quality, thoughtprovoking, and memorable theatrical experiences.
Thank you for being a part of the Florida Repertory Theatre family. Without you, Florida Rep would not be able to reach over 100,000 theater goers and engage with 45,000 young people. Let us celebrate the transformative power of theatre and the joy it brings to our lives during Florida Rep’s 27th season.
Warmest regards,
Senator Jonathan Martin
