(RE)UNION to Debut at
2019 Tampa International Fringe Festival

(Re)Union will be making its debut in the Tampa International Fringe Festival for five performances from May 2-May 11 at the Silver Meteor Gallery in Ybor City.

(Re)Union is an original work, written and directed by Gabby Cabrera, an alumna of Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School in Parkland, Florida. “I’m actually from Parkland, so of course I had a lot of different feelings after this tragedy struck my hometown. This play allowed me to purge all of them out,” Cabrera explains.

(Re)Union is a dark comedy that focuses on societal reactions to tragedy on both the micro and macro scale, as a small town reaches their boiling point. It is not the typical coming of age story, as it challenges the notions of what it means to become an adult, specifically a decade after high school.

In this story, intense emotions are felt after a devastating event that has left both an entire community, to not just grieve, but to analyze where they go from here. It boasts a power to engage its audience in an active dialogue of false happiness and outgrown friendships. Old friends, crossed lovers, confusion, and companionship accompany one another in this journey to uncovering our true selves and the hidden darkness within. Boundaries are stretched, morals are examined, and a paradigm shift is in the making.

“It's a work of art. It has its message. If you can come in and see those things and take away something positive from it, then it does its job,” states Kate Sims, production manager and stage designer for the show.
