FAU Takes Center Stage
Theatre Lab Wins Big At The Carbonell Awards
A round of applause, please, for Theatre Lab, the professional resident theater company of Florida Atlantic University in Boca Raton.
The production company recently received two prestigious Carbonell Awards at the 43rd Annual Carbonell Award Ceremony. Dawn C. Shamburger, Theatre Lab’s resident costume designer – who has created costumes for every full production since the lab opened in 2016 – won Best Costume Design for her work on “The Revolutionists” by Lauren Gunderson. And Niki Fridh was honored with Best Supporting Actress in a Play for her work in “Tar Beach” by Tammy Ryan.
“We are incredibly proud of our Carbonell Awards winners,” said Matt Stabile, artistic director for Theatre Lab, in a press release. “And we are so very grateful to all of our FAU family for the support in making the Theatre Lab dream a reality.”
The Carbonells honor the best of South Florida theater from Jupiter to Miami.
Theatre Lab presents three mainstage productions each season as well as playwright master classes, play festivals and readings. The 2019-2020 season includes “Everything’s Great” by Stephen Brown, “To Fall in Love” by Jennifer Lane and “When She Had Wings” by Suzan Zeder.
