When: Thu., April 11, 8 p.m., Fri., April 12, 8 p.m., Sat., April 13, 2 & 8 p.m. and Sun., April 14, 2 p.m. 2019

Pete, Barbara, Matthew and Bridget are on their way to Florida in an RV but are currently stuck in traffic. Meanwhile, Seth is supposed to be on a date but is instead in the company of some criminals, who nabbed him instead of his roommate — the guy they really want. And then there's Rudolph, a married man enjoying an affair. All of these disparate (and desperate) strangers come together in Lucas Marschke's road-trip comedy, Florida. The play won the 2018 A.E. Hotchner playwriting festival and makes its world premiere this weekend at Washington University's Hotchner Studio Theatre in the Malllinckrodt Center (6445 Forsyth Boulevard; www.edison.wustl.edu). Performances are at 8 p.m. Thursday and Friday, 2 and 8 p.m. Saturday and 2 p.m. Sunday (April 11 to 14). Tickets are $15 to $20.
