Dorothy's Dictionary
by E.M Lewis
“Aided immeasurably by Matt Stabile’s nearly invisible direction and heartfelt performances by veteran Karen Stephens and young Elijah Moseley, you never are being intellectually or emotionally short-changed.”
- Bill Hirschman, Florida Theater On Stage
"Indeed, like that classic, Lewis’s play, without preaching, encourages us to live fully in each moment and appreciate life’s sometimes overlooked pleasures. In addition, Dorothy’s Dictionary reminds us anew that positivity, human connection, humor, and fiction can help us through hard times."
- Aaron Krause, Theatrical Musings
"Theatre Lab is known for giving a home to new and exciting work, and they continue that tradition with Dorothy’s Dictionary. Stabile and the whole production team give us a glimpse into how the right person, the right book, and the right words can transform the trajectory of our lives."
- Luis Roberto Herrera, South Florida Theater Magazine
Zan doesn’t want to read to Dorothy, and she’s not too sure she wants him to! But his community service assignment is not optional. And book by book, the two of them begin to form an unexpected friendship… just when they need it most.
