Join FAU’s Department of Theatre and Dance for “Versace Era” by Juan Sanchez.

This new audio play is about gay life in the 1990s in South Beach. This golden time with extravagant parties, glamour and celebrities became known as the Versace era because the famous and beloved designer took residence at Casa Casuarina in 1992. His death symbolized the end of those golden days—and the end of refuge—for many South Beach residents.

Set in 1997 in a fictional cafe on Ocean Drive, the play follows the lives of several restaurant employees and guests as they come together to mourn the designer’s tragic end and confront what it means to them and their community. As they work, eat, drink and mourn, their personal stories, interactions and conversations reveal a picture of resilience, celebration, pride, communion and unity.
