(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. Im 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.
