Announcements
Venus in Fur
When:
May 8, 2025
at 2:00 PM EST
Where:
Florida Rep Theater,
2268 Bay St
Sexy, provocative, and witty, Venus in Fur turns up the heat on sexual power play and is sure to charm and mesmerize. When Vanda arrives several hours late to her audition for a play based on a nineteenth-century erotic novel, the director is less than impressed. Vanda’s masterful performance, however, flips the script and the audition turns into a tango for dominance between actress and director.
