FLOAT
by Patricia Kane

FLOAT is an emotionally rich and funny full-length play set in a fictional small, Midwestern town, where the bonds between five women are tested as they grapple with religion, identity, sexuality, secrets, and the building of the holiday parade float.   

         >> Five women (ages 30s to 60s); single set << 
  • Three Joseph Jefferson Award nominations, including    Best New Work

    “a rare and wonderful accomplishment...
    ...great characters, engaging script, generous humor and compelling conflict that leaves us complete in the stories presented without the need to spoon-feed us tidy resolutions. As one audience member could be heard enthusiastically saying as he left the theatre, ‘That is exactly what I needed!’” 
           – Chicago Stage Review

                              "4 stars; a more clear-eyed "Steel Magnolias" – TimeOut Chicago

    "Float has mainstream commercial potential at least at the regional level, and it even has possibilities as a film”; “an apple pie of a play” with “frequent and funny one-liners” – Variety

                “Kane’s punchy dialogue and surprising twists keep you entertained and rooting for her                                       
                  characters...It’s a fun, far-from-silent night.” – New City

    “With Kane’s gift for writing and the cast’s gift for performance, this play is near perfection... FLOAT is a wonderful holiday treat that pleases on a variety of levels. It’s funny, it’s sincere and it’s thought provoking. If you’re tired of all the holiday fluff that gets thrown on stage this time of year, check out FLOAT.”  – ChicagoTheatreBlog
