2016/17 season details coming soon!
Blackbird by David Harrower, last season’s Broadway hit, has its Key West premiere for three nights only, March 3-5, at The Studios of Key West. The New York Times called this Olivier Award winning play, which explores the catastrophic effects of a sexual relationship between a middle-aged man and a young girl “… bruising … powerful … masterly…”. Dennis Zacek, Artistic Director Emeritus of Chicago’s Tony Award Recipient Victory Gardens Theater and veteran of Fringe Theater Key West, directs.
Starring Mike Mulligan and Jessica Miano Kruel in roles that won their Broadway counterparts Tony nominations, the play begins when Una visits Ray in the drab office break room of his workplace. Fifteen years earlier, when Una was twelve and Ray was in his 40’s, they had a three month-long sexual relationship. When Una finds him again, a devastating confrontation ensues.
The play has received luminous reviews. Scotland’s Sunday Herald raved, “Harrower’s play positively explodes with unresolved and, possibly irresolvable, concerns… his brooding ambiguity and his dry, resonating poetry culminate in one of the most daring new plays of recent years.”

With one of the tallest buildings – and most spectacular views – in town, the Hugh’s View rooftop terrace serves as The Studios’ creative space in the sky. The terrace sits four stories above street level and offers panoramic views of the island. The Kitwald Stage glows in the golden twilight of our sunset performances.
With original seating from its days as a Masonic temple, the Helmerich Theater has been updated to also include floor seating. As a black box theater, the set up is intimate but professional, and sets the stage for concerts and performances that leave guests feeling like they really got to know the performer.
