WELCOME TO
To our dear friends of Florida Rep... Welcome back! As the lights come up on our 24th Season, we look forward to a bright future as we celebrate the magic of live theatre! We are extremely grateful to you, our loyal patrons and donors, who have stood by us during the turbulent times of the past year and a half. We thank our senior staff, board of directors, ensemble of artists and volunteers for their continuing hard work, never-ending optimism, and devotion. Because of our loyal supporters, we will emerge strong and ready to entertain, enrich, and delight Southwest Florida audiences. The absence of theatre has taught us how important and how vital the performing arts are to this community. Like many theatre companies across the country, we have produced virtual offerings: readings, filmed productions, discussions, our 2021 Gala, and even classes while our indoor stages were darkened. We uncovered new avenues of creativity and innovation by engaging audiences with exciting performances, under the stars, on the banks of the Caloosahatchee. But we realize that nothing can replace the electric experience of live theatre together in the Historic Arcade and ArtStage Studio Theatres. It’s been a long road since we closed our doors to the public in March 2020, but we are ready to lift the curtain and light the lights once again. Our 24th season is a new and vibrant celebration of theatre and of the people who give of themselves to make it happen. We are pleased to offer you stories about hope, human connection, and renewal. Our signature policy of presenting a variety of drama and fantasy remains, but this year we have carefully planned a season of plays and musicals that lift us up and offer an escape. We open with Let’s Fall in Love, a new cabaret-style show that transports us back in time with nostalgic music that defined a generation. We continue this fall with a spine-tingling ghost story—but The Woman in Black isn’t just a haunting tale, it’s a love-letter to actors and stagecraft that will keep you on the edge of your seat. West Side Story is a modern American musical masterpiece, combining the brightest stars of our Conservatory Program with professional artists and Ensemble Members to tell Tony and Maria’s story of star-crossed love in a fresh new staging.

FLORIDA REPERTORY THEATRE 2021-2022 SEASON
OUR 24th SEASON
We begin the new year with two uplifting stories about love, new beginnings, and friendship: a brand-new comedy Morning After Grace shows us it’s never too late to fall in love, and the Pulitzer Prize-winning classic, Driving Miss Daisy chronicles an unlikely decades-long friendship. Another new comedy, Into the Breeches, is a patriotic story of sisterhood and coming together in a crisis— when the men are away fighting World War II, the ladies of the local theatre troupe band together to prove “the show must go on!” The most exciting addition to the new season is a reimagined remounting of the theatre’s 2020 production of A Doll’s House, Part 2. We were a day away from opening when the pandemic closed our doors—and while many of you saw it virtually, this fresh new staging brings the razor-sharp sequel to Ibsen’s 1879 masterpiece to life in the ArtStage, where you’ll be in the middle of the action. We close our season with two pieces that offer a musical escape and a hopeful love story. Buddy is a rock ‘n’ roll sensation where audiences witness Buddy Holly’s meteoric rise to stardom and hear all his greatest hits along the way. Maytag Virgin is a brand-new romantic comedy and an old-fashioned romance that has the perfect message of hope, redemption, and renewal to close a season designed to celebrate human connection. Our over a year-long intermission has proved that theatre makers are industrious and that theatre lovers are devoted. It also taught us that true theatre isn’t on a small screen. When people come together to watch a live play, their heartbeats synchronize. A painting in a museum never changes, the actors in a film give the same performance at every viewing, and the words in a book always read in the same order, but a play is alive! No two performances are the same and our work is never finished until you experience it with us. We are so glad you’re back where we all belong. As always, we hope you enjoy the show as much as we enjoy performing it for you.

A LETTER FROM THE CHAIRPERSON
Welcome Back! On behalf of the Board of Directors, our dedicated staff, the volunteer corps, and Florida Rep’s Ensemble of Artists, I am honored to welcome you to our 24th Season. 2020 and 2021 were difficult years for everyone but we have persevered thanks to you, our valued patrons, supporters, and donors. Since taking over as the Chairperson this fall, Florida Rep’s first season after a year-long hiatus has taken us on a thrilling journey – and there is so much more to come as we celebrate the return of Live Professional Theatre to Southwest Florida. Making theatre is hard work that takes many hands in the best of times, but in the months after our industry-wide intermission, the job of making professional theatre of the quality our audiences are accustomed to requires even more planning, craftsmanship, and resources. That is why we are grateful to you for buying a ticket or donating this season. Without your generosity we would not be here today. While professional theatre was dark on our indoor stages, Florida Rep and its leadership pivoted to creating virtual content and performances, and even created an outdoor stage where audiences could gather under the stars. In addition, our Education Department, under the direction of Kody C Jones, continued to find ways to engage our area’s young people with online classes, a virtual camp, and even outdoor Conservatory productions – and an in-person Summer Arts Intensive in 2021. Even amid the pandemic, the Board and I are proud that Florida Rep’s education programs continued to reach tens of thousands of Lee County students. We were deeply moved to see our Conservatory students onstage with a cast of seasoned professionals in West Side Story this past fall, we wish our Junior Theatre Festival students luck in Atlanta this winter, and we’re so proud of all the young people who participate in all our programs each season. Exposing students to the arts will help our community for generations to come. Under the leadership of our Artistic Director, Greg Longenhagen, and Executive Director, John Martin, Florida Rep weathered “Hurricane COVID” with grace and determination to emerge as strong as ever. The 24th Season is full of plays and musicals that celebrate the artform and lift us all up in difficult times. Classics, romances, stories of sisterhood, and showstopping musicals – who could ask for a better line-up after the lights were dark for so long? Florida Rep has something for everyone in 2022. The Board of Directors invites you to sit back, relax, and enjoy the celebration of Professional Live Theatre!
Thank you, Janice Danzig, Chairperson Board of Directors

FLORIDA REPERTORY THEATRE 2021-2022 SEASON
A LETTER FROM YOUR MAYOR Dear Florida Repertory Theatre Patrons, Good theater brings entertainment to its audience. Great community theater brings young and old together for a common goal: to put on an outstanding performance that promotes creativity and stirs our emotions, moving us to laughter and tears. For more than two decades, the City of Palms has been blessed with award-winning regional theater being acted out in the historic Arcade Theatre in beautiful downtown Fort Myers. Florida Rep is undoubtedly one of Southwest Florida’s most important cultural and educational institutions. Both Gulfshore Life Magazine and Florida Weekly have on numerous occasions named the Rep “Best Performing Arts Group,” and the theatre has been featured in the New York Times and covered in American Theatre Magazine. It was encouraging to watch Florida Rep pivot to a virtual and outdoor season in 2020-2021. I am thrilled that in-person professional theater will be returning to the River District. Thank you to Artistic Director Greg Longenhagen, Executive Director John Martin, and their dedicated staff and actors for keeping theater alive in Southwest Florida. As aptly stated by best-selling author, Terry Teachout, in the Wall Street Journal, read by two million readers, “Make haste to Fort Myers, where the weather is warm and the theater fine!” Yours in public service,
Kevin B. Anderson Mayor

A LETTER FROM YOUR STATE SENATOR Dear Florida Repertory Theatre patrons, It is my pleasure to welcome you to downtown Fort Myers for the Florida Repertory Theatre’s highly anticipated 24th Season. Throughout the last year, the Florida Rep has remained a cultural cornerstone of our community, providing virtual events and outdoor performances for us to enjoy. Now, I am thrilled to welcome you back as the Florida Rep resumes regular performances for what is sure to be an outstanding season. For nearly a quarter-century, The Florida Repertory Theatre has entertained Southwest Florida with critically acclaimed comedies, dramas, and musicals from its downtown Fort Myers home in the Historic Arcade Theatre. Year after year, the Florida Rep’s talented performers and dynamic team prove why this Fort Myers mainstay has earned its reputation as one of Lee County’s most important cultural institutions. Heralded as “One of America’s Top Repertory Companies” by the Wall Street Journal, the Florida Rep draws 90,000 theatregoers to the Downtown Fort Myers River District every year. In addition to its outstanding productions, the Florida Rep serves 40,000 young people and their families each year through a number of exceptional arts education and outreach programs. This arts institution has been instrumental in the cultural enrichment of our community and the revitalization of the Fort Myers River District. Thank you for your continued support of what Gulfshore Life Magazine calls Southwest Florida’s “Best Performing Arts Group.” Please enjoy the first-class theater experience offered by the Florida Rep. I look forward to seeing you this season and for many more to come. Sincerely,

AUTHOR’S NOTE Our time as humans on this planet, if we want anything other than a life of complete solitude, always involves learning the hard work of love. We let go of our ideals to find some semblance of sanity. We convince ourselves that we can get by with less and that our own happiness is secondary to the task at hand. It is a great paradox. When we love fully, we lose a part of ourselves.
WHO’S WHO DUKE LAFOON* (Jack Key) is excited to be making his Florida Rep debut. Duke was last seen on a Florida stage as Martin in Wednesday’s Child at Florida Studio Theatre. New York credits include Clinton: The Musical (Off-Broadway), The Audience (Transport Group), A Wonderful Life, Are We There Yet?
