ON STAGE

Mosaic Theatre is currently dark.
Our next production is:

DEATH AND THE MAIDEN by Ariel Dorfman
March 8 - April 1

Tony Award winners Glenn Close, Richard Dreyfuss and Gene Hackman starred in the original Broadway production of this political thriller. Set in an unnamed country that is, like the author's native Chile, emerging from a totalitarian dictatorship, the play explores the after-effects of repression on hearts and souls. This white knuckle thriller is a riveting intellectual and emotional tug of war.

"Magnificent... One of those rare plays which... seem to grasp the pulse of the century." - London Financial Times

"A terrifying moral thriller which combines brilliant theatricality with clear thought and fierce compassion." - London Sunday Times

"Suspenseful, riveting... [and] movingly personal." - The New York Times

STEPHEN G. ANTHONY* (Gerardo) is positively giddy to be for his third (!) production at Mosaic, having appeared previously in the scintillating Dirty Story, and the musical Make Me a Song. He appeared this past summer in balmy Houston, Texas in a revival of Hank Williams: Lost Highway, reprising the role which he created in an extremely successful run in New York City (teaming up with Playwrights Horizons to defeat The Producers for the Broadway softball league championship!) and subsequent U.S. tour. Those with reasonably long memories may recall Steve's Carbonell Award-winning performances in I Love You, You're Perfect, Now Change, and Sylvia. Other local performances include: August: Osage County; Tom Stoppard's The Real Thing; James Joyce's The Dead; Faith Healer; One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest; and The Great American Trailer Park Musical, to name just a few. Not content being merely an actor/singer/musician, Steve is also an accomplished scenic carpenter, technical director, acting teacher, photographer, independent film producer, videographer, and woodworker. Oh, yes - and officially the Luckiest Man Alive, thanks to a very special lady named Ann. Maybe you know her...

LAURA TURNBULL* (Paulina) is currently starring as Beatrice in Palm Beach Dramaworks hit production of The Effect of Gamma Rays on Man in the Moon Marigolds. This is her second production with PBD having appeared in Jacques Brel in 2004 (with her husband Avi Hoffman). She has just completed a successful run of Lombardi starring Ray Abruzzo at the Mosaic Theatre. This past season Laura was fortunate enough to be in the critically acclaimed production of August: Osage County (Actors' Playhouse), the hugely popular, A Round-Heeled Woman, starring Sharon Gless, (GableStage), and the hit, world premiere, of Motherhood, the Musical (Miniaci Theatre). Her other recent credits include: The Cha-Cha of a Camel Spider (Florida Stage), Distracted (Caldwell Theatre) and Equus (New Theatre). She has worked in every professional theatre in South Florida and has been nominated for, and won, numerous Carbonell Awards as well as being honored with the Silver Palm Award for her body of work in 2010. Prior to making Florida her home, Laura performed on Broadway, Off Broadway, toured nationally, and worked regionally. She is proud to be a member of Actors' Equity Association, even more proud of her two incredible daughters!
