April 17 thru May 23, 2004, the South Florida Premiere of Athol Fugard's greatest work:

‘MASTER HAROLD’… and the boys

A white teenager’s relationships with his family’s black servants in 1950’s apartheid South Africa. Fugard’s greatest work, a wrenching, coming-of-age drama, was first presented in 1982. It won the Drama Desk and Outer Critics Circle Awards for Best Play and was revived on Broadway last season to great acclaim.

“A thoughtful work of art! Funny, scary, wrenching, wonderful, and above all, wise! Subtle, incisive, and thought-provoking!” John Simon, New York Magazine.

“THE BEST NEW PLAY OF THE SEASON! It rises and  breaks over the audience like a storm! Lyrical in design, shattering in impact - LIKELY TO BE AN ENDURING PART OF THE THEATRE LONG AFTER MOST OF THIS BROADWAY SEASON HAS TURNED   TO DUST!"  Frank Rich, New York Times (1982 NY Premiere)

“A REALLY FINE WORK SURVIVES ITS TIME. It does not depend on contemporary circumstances, but has lasting relevance. 'Master Harold' can triumphantly survive any test of time. This is ELECTRIC THEATRE THAT CAN MOVE, SHOCK AND THRILL!" Clive Barnes, New York Post (2003 Broadway revival)

 

June 19 thru July 18, 2004, Florida Premiere of Peter Parnell's

QED

A funny and very moving play about Richard Feynman, the quirky Nobel Prize winner who worked on the A-Bomb at Los Alamos, considered by many to be America’s greatest physicist of the 20th Century.

“Who knew quantum electrodynamics could be so much fun? It’s dazzling! Stampede for available tickets rather than merely rush. ‘QED’ is worth such trouble!” Clive Barnes, New York Post.

August 14 thru December 12, 2004, World Premiere of Alice Jay's

SMUT
based on an idea by Joseph Adler

Sex! Repression or freedom? The Almighty or the mighty? Abortion! Them or us? Bloody bodies, bloody times in the Gilded Age. A play inspired by the real life collision of crusaders Ida Craddock and Anthony Comstock. How much have attitudes really changed in the last century?
