Moves Central Florida Theater Forward ORLANDO

part of the development of a play before it opens Off-Broadway.
It plays in rotating repertory through April 29. As part of the

are now playing or are upcoming at PlayFest 2007!, Rollins College
Second Stage (Fred Stone Theatre), Orlando Repertory Theatre, Orlando-UCF
