GableStage, the popular Coral Gables based theatre company that has made its home in the Biltmore Hotel for over 24 years, proudly announces its 2022-23 season.

“We are thrilled to announce our 24th season, filled with regional premieres, off-Broadway hits, powerful dramas and a fabulously funny new comedy,” said Bari Newport, GableStage producing artistic director. “While the upcoming season is full of variety, the selections illuminate our mission of confronting today’s issues and ideas in unique and wonderful ways.”

The season begins with internationally renowned playwright Simon Stephens’ (The Curious Incident of the Dog in the Night-time) sharply original Heisenberg (October 28 – November 2022).
