The Subject Was Roses by Frank D. Gilroy Oct. 19 - Dec. 2, 2007

This critically successful Tony Award and Pulitzer Prize-winning drama tells the complex story of a married couple who have settled into their facade of a happy union.

Now mature, Tim finally understands the family dynamics that have played throughout his boyhood.

The Fourth Wall by A. R. Gurney Dec. 21, 2007 - Feb. 3, 2008
"The Fourth Wall" at Palm Beach Dramaworks

The state of American politics is skillfully woven into a modern-day lively and clever comedy that explores our place in the world today. In this newly revised version, the play begins as Peggy, much to the chagrin of her husband, Roger, redecorates their Buffalo, New York apartment as if it were a stage – everything faces one bare wall, the ‘fourth wall’. Soon everyone who enters their living room begins to behave as if they were acting in a play along with the occasional urge to break into song!

Agnes of God by John Pielmeier Feb. 22 - Apr. 6, 2008
"Agnes of God" at Palm Beach Dramaworks

This haunting and thought-provoking play traces the spiritual journeys of three women as they search for the truth. Dr. Martha Livingston, a court appointed psychiatrist, is called upon to determine the sanity of a young nun accused of murdering her own baby. The Mother Superior is bent on protecting Sister Agnes, thus raising the suspicions of Dr. Livingston. While in search of answers surrounding the baby’s death, the meaning of faith, reason, sacrifice and redemption are called into question.

Benefactors by Michael Frayn Apr. 25 - Jun. 15, 2008
"Benefactors" at Palm Beach Dramaworks

This Broadway and London hit is about the way the world changes around you just when you are trying to change it yourself. The plot centers on David and Jane, who are a happy and prosperous couple and by contrast, their neighbors, Colin and Sheila, are a bitter and struggling couple. David, an architect, is currently working on the redevelopment of an inner city slum – this propels him and his wife to take on their neighbors as their next ‘redevelopment’ project. This well-crafted and complex play written by Michael Frayn explores the contrasting natures of those who help and those who are helped; those who create and those who destroy.

"Souvenir: A Fantasia on the Life of Florence Foster Jenkins" at Palm Beach Dramaworks

In this new comedy with (terrible) music, we examine the legendary incapable coloratura, and prominent heiress, Florence Foster Jenkins, who believed that she understood better than anyone else how to properly sing. Unfortunately, the result was almost excruciatingly difficult to sit through. In this bittersweet comedy of recollection, her 'longtime accompanist' recalls lovingly what it was like to play along for so many years.
Souvenir is an affectionate salute to the fascinating story of a unique artist who suffered under the delusion that she was a great coloratura soprano. Unfortunately, she had no ear for pitch and those in her circle of friends, mostly out of politeness, would compliment her voice to the point where she decided to hold small recitals for charity. The cult status of her regrettable singing spread through New York, culminating in a smash hit record and a sold-out Carnegie Hall solo concert!
