Founded in 1985, OTP is celebrating our 20th Anniversary. To spotlight this
milestone, we will present four of "OTP's Greatest Hits" in 2005-2006.

The other tremendous news is that OTP is moving back to Orlando! Our new
home is at the Orlando Repertory Theatre in Loch Haven Park, where three of
our four productions will be mounted.

OTP will partner with the UCF Conservatory Theatre for new productions of
"Wit" and "All in the Timing." A third production, "A Couple of Blaguards,"
will also be presented at The Rep.

Continuing our valued relationship with Seminole Community College, OTP
will co-produce "A Christmas Carol" at SCC's Fine Arts Theatre at the
Sanford/Lake Mary campus.

Please contact me with any questions. Thank you.

Description:
The astonishing Pulitzer Prize-winning drama about love and knowledge that wowed audiences everywhere! A renowned professor takes an approach to her catastrophic illness much like her approach to the study of the poet John Donne: probing, sensible and witty. But she comes to reassess her life and her work with a new appreciation for simplicity, compassion and the need for love.

"A one-of-a-kind experience: wise, thoughtful, witty and wrenching."
—The New York Times Year in Review

"A dazzling and humane play you will remember till your dying day."  
—New York magazine

"A thrilling, exciting evening in the theater...an extraordinary and most moving play."
—New York Post
 
“Edson’s remarkable play… can shake you and move you in ways you only begin to understand. And Orlando Theatre Project's production brings Wit to life in all of its glory. This is what theater is about.”
—Orlando Sentinel
