Florida Stage Announces 2010-2011 Season

Florida Stage has announced its 2010-2011 season, which will be the first in the company’s new home at the Kravis Center for the Performing Arts in West Palm Beach.

The season will kick off with the world premiere of Andrew Rosendorf’s Cane (October 27-November 28), which is the first part of the company’s The Florida Cycle, a series of plays being commissioned by Florida Stage inspired by the vital issues and rich history of the state of Florida.

Next comes the world premiere of Karen Hartman’s Goldie, Max & Milk (December 15- January 16), about a single lesbian who just gave birth. Michael Hollinger’s Ghost Writer (March 2-April 3) will follow, in which a novelist dies before finishing dictating his masterwork to his devoted secretary, prompting her to complete the story on her own. The season will conclude with the world premiere of The Cha-Cha of a Camel Spider (May 4-June 5), by Carter W. Lewis, in which a young woman finds herself caught up in a frightening and darkly comic journey with two rogue mercenary soldiers and a vaguely magical Afghani cab driver.

In addition, Florida Stage will also produce a summer musical, the fifth annual 1st Stage New Works Festival, its annual Young Playwrights and Monologue Festivals and the fourth year of the company’s ground-breaking Gen Z Global Stage Project, formerly Children of Conflict.
