Dorothy's Dictionary
by E.M Lewis
鈥淎ided immeasurably by Matt Stabile鈥檚 nearly invisible direction and heartfelt performances by veteran Karen Stephens and young Elijah Moseley, you never are being intellectually or emotionally short-changed.鈥

"Indeed, like that classic, Lewis鈥檚 play, without preaching, encourages us to live fully in each moment and appreciate life鈥檚 sometimes overlooked pleasures. In addition, Dorothy鈥檚 Dictionary reminds us anew that positivity, human connection, humor, and fiction can help us through hard times."听

"Theatre Lab is known for giving a home to new and exciting work, and they continue that tradition with Dorothy鈥檚 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."听
- Luis Roberto Herrera, South Florida Theater Magazine听
