ARTISTIC DIRECTOR

Our Jubilee Season line-up will take you on a journey through time and place from Victorian England, to a 1950’s gritty Philadelphia bar, to a Catholic suburban home in the 1970’s, to a serene New England lake house in the 1980’s, plus the contemporary settings of a senior living complex, a Manhattan high rise lobby, and more.

As you immerse yourself in these terrific comedies, thought-provoking dramas, and poignant musical offerings, you will be led by some of our signature Ensemble members alongside frequent guest artists and some fresh new faces and creative works soon to become part of the Florida Rep legacy. Our visiting professionals and local creative team are dedicated to bringing you the finest in live professional theatre – a tradition we established, and continue to maintain, since we opened our doors.

Downtown Fort Myers was a different place in the late 1990s. It was not the vibrant community center we know now – teaming with busy restaurants, shops, art centers, hotels, and more. At that time, the River District was ripe for rejuvenation and Florida Repertory Theatre was one of the early pioneers. When Florida Rep took residence in the deserted Historic Arcade we became a key player in the downtown renaissance. Thanks to the dedication of our company members and ever-growing loyal patrons and supporters, we now look back with pride, and look forward to all that the future has to offer.

The play you are about to watch is a unique production designed, crafted, directed, and cast specifically for you. You won’t see this version of this play anywhere else, and our team takes great pride in the work they do to delight, entertain, and enrich your life. On behalf of all of us at Florida Rep, we wish to thank you for your patronage, your support, and for joining us at the theatre. We look forward to sharing the next twenty-five years with you.
