BOCA RATON, Fla. - Floridant -- (South Florida – September 9, 2025) Gary Schweikhart, board president of the Carbonell Awards, South Florida's Theater & Arts Honors, today announced the recipient of the seventh prestigious Special Award that will be presented at the Carbonell Awards Ceremony on Monday, November 17, at 7:30 pm at FAU's University Theatre in Boca Raton 33431.
"While we will be honoring in 20 competitive categories specific theatre performances, production elements, and shows presented between September 2024 and August 2025, the Carbonell board of directors has unanimously voted to also bestow the following Special Award," said Schweikhart.
The Bill von Maurer Award
Honoring a theater company that exemplifies excellence for the totality of its programming: productions, educational outreach, developmental programs, and audiences served.
Gable Stage
With the mission to produce "theatrical works of artistic excellence that explore today's issues and ideas, GableStage serves South Florida's culturally rich communities by creating bold, thought-provoking productions that inspire conversation and connection." Originally founded as Florida Shakespeare Theatre, the nonprofit organization adapted the current name when it moved to the historic Biltmore Hotel in 1998. After the 2021 death of the legendary Joseph Adler, Bari Newport joined GableStage as Producing Artistic Director. The company's extensive community outreach, distinctive roster of educational offerings and ambitious mainstage programming have cemented the theatre's sterling reputation. It won eight Carbonell Awards since 2023 (for a total of 72) and was named "Best Theatre Company" several times by Miami New Times.

The theatre's 2024/25 season included audience-wowing productions of King James, Both Sides Now, Appropriate by Brandon Jacobs-Jenkins, Summer 1976, and a thunderous production of Fat Ham in partnership with Brévo Theatre and Island City Stage. As GableStage prepares to move into its long-awaited new home at the historic Coconut Grove Playhouse in 2027/28, it is poised to expand its programming, audiences, and civic impact for the next generation.
