“REFUGEE” is generously sponsored by LCEC.Commissioned by Florida Rep, “Refugee” tells the story of three young refugees and their families fleeing violence at home to find the promise of a better life in America. Electrifying, heartbreaking, and timely, the play follows Josef, a Jewish boy leaving Nazi Germany in 1939, Isabel, a Cuban girl escaping Castro’s regime

in 1994, and Mahmoud, a Syrian boy ravaged by the ongoing civil war. Florida Rep education director, Kody C. Jones, approached Coble to adapt the bestselling book

after successful collaborations between Florida Rep and Coble on “Zap” in 2006 and last year’s production of his adaptation of Lois Lowry’s

Newbery-winning novel, “The Giver.”
