Graphic for The Minutes featuring a gavel on a red background
SWFL PREMIERE!
This scathing new comedy from the author of August: Osage County is about small-town politics and real-world power. It exposes the ugliness behind some of our most closely-held American narratives while asking each of us what we would do to keep from becoming history’s losers.

“You will probably leave at the end with very mixed feelings, but you will talk about it, think about it, and go away with the knowledge that you have never seen anything like it.” – Observer.com
