Celebrating Women's Voices in Season 88
We are celebrating women's voices during our 88th season! Every play in both our Annie Russell Theatre and Second Stage seasons is written by a female playwright.
Of course, this season is also unlike any other as we navigate COVID-19. We are keeping the safety of our students and patrons front-of-mind. Any person on Rollins' campus must wear a mask and practice social distancing. These guidelines apply to our cast, crew, and patrons, for all rehearsals and performances. Please consult each title for details on our capacity limitations.
The Wolves
November 13 - 23, 2020
Written by Sarah DeLappe
Directed by Marianne DiQuattro
Rollins will present the Orlando premiere of The Wolves in an outdoor production. Seating is limited and is available only to Rollins students, faculty, staff, and season subscribers.
On a soccer field in suburbia, a team of female adolescent warriors prepares for battle: on the AstroTurf, and against the emerging menace of adulthood. This 2017 Pulitzer Prize finalist delivers a strikingly candid glimpse at teenagers as they navigate puberty, the state of the union, and grief - as a pack.

As It Is in Heaven
February 12 - 20, 2021
Written by Arlene Hutton
Directed by Beth Lincks '75
We will announce the venue ticketing information for As It Is in Heaven later this fall, taking into account the most up-to-date safety reccomendations. Please watch this space for updates.
When a newcomer to an austere Shakers community in 1830s Kentucky claims to see angels, all hell breaks loose. Peppered with hymns and dances, the play invites us into a hermetic world where faith, fervor, and fanaticism collide. The LA Times calls Hutton "one of the most richly humane voices in contemporary theater." A Rollins alumna, she returns to direct her own play at Rollins.

April 16 - 24, 2021
Book by Heather Hach
Music & Lyrics by Laurence O'Keefe and Nell Benjamin
Based on the novel by Amanda Brown and the Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer motion picture
Directed by Missy Barnes

Unapologetically blonde, Elle Woods gets into Harvard Law for all the wrong reasons. But in this funny, fierce, and fast-paced musical, she stays - and thrives - for all the right ones.
