A new musical
Producers: Barbara C. Ackerman
Directed by Matt Stabile
Double, double, toil and trouble! After four hundred years of Macbeth, Shakespeare’s Three Witches decide to spice up their recipe by throwing nine of the Bard’s characters from other plays into the cauldron – most of them heroines destined for a tragic end. What ensues is a mash-up of epic proportions as characters like Juliet, Ophelia, Rosalind, and more find themselves magically transported to the same forest, where together they grapple with love, loss, identity, and the constraints of gender roles. Is their destiny in the stars or in themselves?
Deborah Zoe Laufer, winner of the 2025 Carbonell Award for Outstanding New Work for her play The Last Yiddish Speaker, returns to Boca – this time with a new musical! During the summer of 2018, Ms. Laufer spent a week in residency at Theatre Lab where she worked with students in the MFA Acting program to develop a short one act, originally written for the O’Neill Center, into a full-length play. A few years later, with the addition of composer & lyricist Daniel Green, a new musical was ready for further development with the Department of Theatre & Dance. This April, a multi-year process comes to a conclusion when this exciting new musical returns home for a full production!
