“Madagascar is a play that challenges both the artists who bring it to life and audiences who must mentally assemble the pieces of Rogers’… wondrous, elegiac, unforgettable drama.” –Christine Dolen, The Miami Herald

“Rogers’ circular storytelling style, full of poetry, poignancy, wit and hard-won wisdom, never fails to fascinate.” –Brandon Griggs, The Salt Lake Tribune

Madagascar has won the Pinter Review Prize for Drama for best American Play and the American Theatre Critics Association’s Osborne Award for best play by an emerging playwright. It was a finalist for the ATCA’s Steinberg New Play Award. This season it has been seen Off Broadway as part of the SPF Summery Play Festival and at the Adirondack Theatre Festival, Salt Lake Acting Company, and at the New Theatre in Miami.
