Beto's play was an excellent addition to Florida Rep's 2019 PlayLab Festival. LOVING AND LOVING uses a truly unique storytelling device to get inside the personal story behind a story that we all know from the headlines of history. Producing his play at our festival gave us a refreshing challenge to incorporate interviews and stories from our own community.

One of my favorite new plays. This play tackles the opioid crisis with a clear, crisp, and personal story. aryl's voice is singular, and her characters continue to amaze and find humor and humanity in the gravest of circumstances. The three women at the center of this play are authentic, flawed, and important new voices. Produce this play.

What a fun, funny, and fresh new play that looks at the various angles about being a parent. Eric's language is clever, the characters accessible, and the story universal. Florida Rep showcased this play in our 2018 PlayLab Festival, and the audiences were drawn to the characters and their journey through the trials of becoming parents.

Beautiful, poetic, heart-wrenching, and important. Angelica's use of language is unparalleled, and I cannot say enough good about these characters and this story. This is a unique and magical play that comes from the heart of the American South. This is a play and a playwright to watch. Florida Rep was honored to include Berta, Berta in our 2018 PlayLab Festival.

This play will blow you away. Michelle has given us a play that looks at a true event in American history through the lens of a family crisis. Her central character, Barbara Timm, is one of the great roles for women, and needs to be done. She treats the Iranian students like fully rounded human beings,. and one walks away from this knowing the PEOPLE at the heart of the story - and you identify with each of them. This play takes some very large issues and makes them personal. Audiences in Florida Rep's 2018 PlayLab were in awe.

This play is something special. Fresh, funny, irreverent, and incredibly twisted - this has something for everyone. I laughed on every page, and was delighted to include it in Florida Rep's 2018 PlayLab Festival. Its take on family in the 21st century when communication in an age of technology can be just as complicated and fulfilling as a living room drama. Matt has given us something wholly unique that will resonate with audiences all over the country and all over audience demographics for so many reasons. I cannot say enough good about his view into these characters' lives.

Audrey's play is a beautiful character study. It has deep and flawed and human characters that keep you rapt for the duration. Florida Rep showcased this play in our 2018 PlayLab and have committed to the premiere in the fall of 2019. This is an important piece for so many reasons, but all the more because it is a vehicle for three women to really dig into characters too few and far between in the American Theatre. Humor, heart, love, loss, and even some magic realism. Do yourself a favor and read this play.

I cannot say enough good about this play. The characters are so vividly drawn and the story incredibly moving. This play could be done minimally or on a more grand scale, and give actors, a director, and designers a really beautiful story to tell. It is funny, moving, tense, electric, and full of hope and redemption. This is a powerful story of how one (unconventional) family tries to make their part of the world a better place for their children.

This is an incredibly important play for right now, and do not be afraid that it is preachy or too academic. Even the reading was lightly staged, and the action makes it incredibly suspenseful - almost a psychological thriller. When we look back to the Nazi rise to power, we wonder how it happened. How did ordinary Germans allow it? What did they do to resist? Did anyone resist? Some did, and this is their story. This play is a chilling portrait of how a repressive regime comes to power and how ordinary Germans managed to look the other way.

This play is an incredibly refreshing comedy about a woman in crisis. It was a fan favorite at Florida Rep's PlayLab Festival in May 2017. Audiences, especially women, were struck by the central character's journey of sexual awakening. GREAT roles for women (and men). As always, Daryl's dialogue is crisp, witty, and so easy. Her characters are fully drawn and the story is compelling. This story about a woman's sexual repression and discovery NEEDS to be told - and it helps that it's told in such an outrageously funny way.
