Celebrate our very own Sunshine State by traveling north to Boca Raton, where the lawns and residents are perfectly maintained.

Fade

June 3 Through July 3

Our very special 2021-2022 GableStage subscription season concludes with ​Fade.

Lucia is understandably nervous. It’s day one at her first TV writing job. As a Hispanic novelist, she may actually be the “diversity hire” she’s heard whispers about. Uncertain whether she can make a place for herself in cutthroat Hollywood, she feels less alone when she meets Abel, the Latino janitor. They form a bond and share stories, but it turns out that their friendship is not what Abel expects in this witty dramatic comedy about class, integrity, and culture.
