  • Jason Parrish: Jerome by Ron Lagomarsino
    “

    Read as part of Florida Rep's 2020 Virtual PlayLab, JEROME, is a must-read. This family saga deals with issues we all will face one day or another: what to do about our adult relations who need 24/7 care. The central character is a complex tour-de-force performance for an actor to dig into. The family dynamics explored keep you turning pages to the very end.
