Brévo Theatre presents a powerful series of staged readings by award-winning playwright Bryan Keyth Wilson, spotlighting urgent stories that interrogate race, power, memory, and survival in America. Featuring The Otha Amerikkka, 8:46, and FAFO, this reading series offers audiences an intimate first look at works in development that confront systemic injustice, generational trauma, and the lived realities of Black communities.

The Otha Amerikkka
“tha other ameriKKKa” is a choreopoem inspired by Martin Luther King Jr’s powerful lecture On April 14, 1967 at Stanford University. This choreopoem is a contemporary analysis of the duality and reality that plague America. Why is there this other America for the marginalized and people with skin colors other than white? Through a blend of poetry, prose, music, and movement, the piece challenges perceptions and sparks dialogue on the complexities of the American experience.

8:46
8:46 delves into the collective and individual experiences of those whose lives were irrevocably altered on that fateful morning. The play weaves together testimonies, memories, and poetic expressions, creating a tapestry of voices that reflect the complex realities of race, privilege, and trauma in the aftermath of 9/11. The title, 8:46, serves as a poignant reminder of the exact time the first plane struck, marking the beginning of an event that changed the world forever and left deep scars on those whose stories are seldom told.

F*** Around And Find Out
A raw, unapologetic breakdown of who showed up, who stayed home, and how the choices we make at the ballot box shape the world we live in. Told through powerful vignettes, FAAFO blends investigative theatre with intimate character studies, using real statistics and lived experiences to dissect the racial and gender divides in voting—because democracy isn’t just a right, it’s a reckoning. In this bold theatrical experiment, two actors—one Black man and one Black woman—embody a kaleidoscope of voices, slipping seamlessly between personas to reveal the personal stakes behind the percentages. From impassioned testimonies to stark moments of reckoning, FAAFO forces us to confront the numbers not as abstract data, but as human stories—messy, complicated, and impossible to ignore.

Miami, it’s that time again.

We opened 2026 with a special one at Do Not Sit — packed, intimate, and the kind of night that reminds us why we do this.

This Friday, we’re back for round two.

Our sunset edition of Intriga

We usually move between two worlds each month: one night deep in the club, one night up in the sky. A little contrast, a little variety, same intention throughout.

Some familiar faces, some new ones stepping in, all coming together as the sun goes down and the city shifts pace. Music first, moment first.

And when the clock hits eleven, we take it downstairs to the Bamboo Room to carry it through until close.

This is about being present.

If you’ve been before, you already know.

Reading between the Brushstrokes: Imagery and Meaning in Italian Renaissance Painting 2/21/26

Reading between the Brushstrokes: Imagery and Meaning in Italian Renaissance Painting
Saturday, 02/21/2026-, 03:00 pm-04:00 pm
NSU Art Museum Fort Lauderdale
One East Las Olas Boulevard,
Fort Lauderdale, Florida, 33301
Website
Cost: Free for members, $16 for non-members

While famous masterpieces such as the “Mona Lisa,” the “Birth of Venus,” and the “Sistine Chapel, Ceiling” draw massive crowds in Italy, most Italian Renaissance paintings in US museums are passed over for more readable, recognizable, and user-friendly 19th and/or 20th-century paintings. Museum-goers today often have a difficult time recognizing the characters, knowing the theology, identifying with the morality, or understanding the function of most Italian Renaissance paintings. Dr. Rocky Ruggiero will “read between the brushstrokes” to explain the meaning behind the imagery of painted masterpieces from the Italian Renaissance.

Admission is free for members, $16 per class for non-members. Space is limited. Preregistration Required.

Rocky Ruggiero has been a professor of Art and Architectural History since 1999. He received his BA from the College of the Holy Cross and a Master of Arts degree from Syracuse University, where he was awarded a prestigious Florence Fellowship in 1996. He furthered his art historical studies at the University of Exeter, UK, where he received a Ph.D. in Art History and Visual Culture.

In addition to lecturing for various American universities in Florence, Italy, including Syracuse, Kent State, Vanderbilt, and Boston College, Rocky has starred in various TV documentaries concerning the Italian Renaissance. He recently appeared as an expert witness for NBC News, as well as in the History Channel’s “Engineering an Empire: Da Vinci’s World” and “Museum Secrets: the Uffizi Gallery”, and the recent NatGeo/NOVA PBS program on Brunelleschi’s dome entitled “Great Cathedral Mystery.”

After living in Florence, Italy, for 20 years, Rocky and his family moved to East Greenwich, RI, and he now divides his time between the US and Italy.

Rocky also shares his knowledge and love of Italian art as an academic advisory board member of the non-profit group Friends of Florence and as a frequent collaborator and lecturer for the Friends of the Uffizi Gallery, both of which have provided funds for the restoration of numerous works of art throughout Florence. He also lectures and serves as a college liaison for the prestigious Jay Pritzker Academy in Siem Reap, Cambodia.

“Stand Up for Innocence,” a Night of Stand-Up Comedy to Benefit the Wrongfully Convicted in Florida’s Prisons 1/31/26

American Heritage Schools’ Broward Campus
12200 W. Broward Blvd.,
Plantation, Florida, 33325
Website
Cost: $30 to $100

On Saturday, Jan. 31, American Heritage Schools and its Honors Legal Studies program are pleased to once again partner with The Innocence Project of Florida (IPF) to host its seventh annual comedy event series, “Stand Up for Innocence,” at the school’s Broward Campus. The event will feature three comedians, including Tony V., Leighann Lord, and Maronzio Vance. The pre-event reception begins at 7 p.m., and the comedy show starts at 8:15 p.m.

This is a fun-filled night featuring stand-up comedians who frequently appear on Comedy Central and at NYC Comedy Clubs. The evening will entail levity and laughs to raise money for The Innocence Project of Florida – a nonprofit organization that aims to help innocent prisoners in Florida obtain their freedom and rebuild their lives.

All proceeds from the Stand Up for Innocence comedy show will provide critical funding for IPF’s work to find and free innocent people from prison in Florida. The litigation efforts and support services for freed people are always offered at no cost to the wrongfully convicted, ensuring that justice, freedom, and healing are never determined by someone’s ability to pay.

The impact of these events extends beyond the stage; they raise awareness, bring communities together, and amplify the voices of those who have endured unimaginable injustice. They are a reminder that wrongful convictions are not just statistics but human stories of resilience, families torn apart, and lives rebuilt.

BCMTA also provides student scholarships and competitive activities.

This year, BCMTA has chosen 4KIDS of South Florida, an organization committed to redefining foster care across the region one child at a time, with the support of the faith-based community. Whether a family is in crisis and at-risk of breaking down, siblings are coming into the foster care system, or a child requires trauma-informed therapy – 4KIDS brings hope, homes, and healing.

Opening Reception: Cristina Lei Rodriguez: Baroque Islands
Tuesday, 01/20/2026-, 11:00 am-01:00 pm
MDC's Hialeah Campus Art Gallery
1780 West 49th Street,
Hialeah, Florida, 33012
Website
Cost: Free

MOAD and Cristina Lei Rodriguez will host an opening reception in honor of the artist’s new exhibition, Baroque Islands, on MDC’s Hialeah Campus.

Cristina Lei Rodriguez: Baroque Islands presents new and recent paintings. For years, the artist has been combining sculpture, installation, painting, and photographic scans in her work. As opposed to including different media, this exhibition offers a special opportunity to consider her painting practice, with its dense layers evoking a multitude of forms. Beneath each layer of material, is another layer that offers a glimpse into an alternative world. Each painting is its own island, its own space, where a mix of materials from beads to paint and lacquer combine to make glistening surfaces suggesting both built and natural environments.

To create baroque art or to exist in a baroque space can mean many things. A term often associated with seventeenth-century Europe; baroque art and architecture took on new forms in the Americas. Baroque art can include a juxtaposition of contrasting elements as well as embellishment. It can be exuberant and emotional. Although it is most often used when speaking of historic visual, literary, and performance-based arts, manifestations of contemporary baroque exist all around us, including in the work of Cristina Lei Rodriguez.

Raised in Miami, the artist’s family lineage extends to Cuba and Japan, and she spent extended time as a child and a young adult in Hawai’i visiting her grandmother. Islands are personal for the artist. Rich and varied landscapes inform the artist’s work as does overlapping notions of place. From these national and international boundaries to her own backyard where plentiful plants multiply in the abundant humidity of Miami, the artist draws inspiration from complex textures, sumptuous colors, and intricate details.

This exhibition was organized by the Museum of Art and Design at Miami Dade College.

Parking at MDC’s Hialeah Campus

The Art Gallery is located directly across from the Building 5 garage.

The main vehicular entrance to the campus is located along West 17th Court before reaching 46th Street. Parking is available for all Miami Dade College students, staff, faculty, and visitors in our recently constructed parking garage and flat lots. All individuals using campus parking facilities must abide by the College parking guidelines.

The Museum of Art and Design (MOAD) at MDC may document the event, including its attendees. By entering the area, and/or participating in the event, you consent to the recording and its use in any form.

MOAD’s programs are made possible with the support of the Miami-Dade County Department of Cultural Affairs and the Cultural Affairs Council, the Miami-Dade County Mayor, and Board of County Commissioners. They are sponsored in part by the State of Florida through the Division of Arts and Culture, and with generous support from the John S. and James L. Knight Foundation. The Miami Herald is a media sponsor of MOAD’s programming.

History Fort Lauderdale artist-in-residence Constance Ivana is passionate about creating bold, vibrant works of art that spark reflection, conversation, and joy. Her creative journey is fueled by a desire to connect people through art—whether it’s through large-scale murals, interactive art workshops, or painting parties that bring communities together. Her pieces blend acrylic paint, spray paint, wood, and mirrors that not only transform spaces but also remind us that art heals and reflection fosters growth. She aims to make art accessible, meaningful, and powerful, while inspiring others to discover their own creativity.

The archival photography component chronicles African American life in South Florida from the 1900s through the 1960s. From family and school life to segregation, peaceful protests and triumphs, the selected photos offer insight how our community has evolved and overcome. Curated by Dillard instructor Celestin Joseph, the advanced placement student showcase illustrates a cultural reflection of today’s issues as see through the lens of upcoming young artists.

Joseph received his master’s in fine arts in painting from the University of Pennsylvania. He received a bachelor’s in fine arts, cum laude, from the University of Hartford as a painting major, with an art history minor, and concentrations in printmaking and graphic design studies. Joseph also received a prestigious Yale/Norfolk Art and Music Scholarship to further his studies.

South Florida Symphony Orchestra (SFSO) invites patrons to sail away to “Ravel on the Riviera,” this year’s annual gala fundraiser that captures the romance of the South of France in the golden age — where the glamour of Josephine Baker and the soulful voice of Edith Piaf filled seaside cabarets, and champagne flowed under starlit skies. The enchanting evening, which pays homage to both the celebrated French composer, pianist and conductor and the sun-drenched Mediterranean coastline renowned for its artistic heritage, will take place on Saturday, January 17, at 5:30 p.m., at Coral Ridge Yacht Club (2800 Yacht Club Blvd. in Fort Lauderdale). The event, which celebrates South Florida community arts leaders and advocates who support SFSO’s impactful artistic, community engagement and music education initiatives, will feature a private performance by international pianist Svetlana Smolina.

This formal gala evening will recognize Sound of Success regional arts advocates Jeannette and Francisco Alvarado of Marand Builders, Miriam Richter, William Sandrik & Henry Smith, Jerry Taylor & Nancy Bryant Foundation and the Warten Foundation for their instrumental support of SFSO’s impactful community outreach and musical programming initiatives.

Guests will be welcomed with champagne and signature cocktails, setting the tone for a night of Riviera elegance. A three-course French dinner follows, accompanied by evocative melodies that bring to life the timeless charm of the Côte d’Azur. The highlight of the evening will be a private performance by acclaimed pianist Svetlana Smolina, whose artistry captures the brilliance of Ravel and the spirit of the French Riviera.

As the night unfolds, the celebration continues with a dessert reception, sparkling apéritifs, and dancing on theme — a true voyage to another era, blending vintage Parisian allure with nautical Mediterranean sophistication.

SFSO’s “Ravel on the Riviera” Gala is chaired by Kate and Brent Nelson. This year’s sponsors include Mark Kravitz and Aviah Flagler Village (Special Recognition), Chuck Nicholls and Mark Turner (Décor Sponsors) and Ombelle Fort Lauderdale (Valet Sponsor).

SFSO’s 28th season of “Juxtapositions” explores beauty in contrasts, where the bold and the sublime intersect, and timeless masterpieces share the stage with today’s most compelling and celebrated musical voices. From Mozart’s vivacious “Haffner” symphony to the sun-drenched skies of Mendelssohn’s “Italian” and the sweeping emotion of Sibelius’ Violin Concerto — performances burst with color and power. Beethoven’s luminous Piano Concerto No. 4 and Dvořák’s Bohemian Eighth deepen the journey, while Rimsky-Korsakov’s Capriccio espagnol whirls with Spanish flair. SFSO is also proud to present upcoming orchestra firsts by GRAMMY-nominated composers, including the Florida premiere of Had to Be by Haitian-American Nathalie Joachim, featuring breakout cellist Seth Parker Woods, and Carlos Simon’s Four Black American Dances.

From sold-out masterworks performances to accompanying today’s musicians such as Natalie Merchant and performing modern musical scores including Tim Burton’s The Nightmare Before Christmas and Back to the Future, featuring the iconic films screened live with audio and musical accompaniment, South Florida’s largest symphonic orchestra is continuing its journey of excellence inspiring audiences of all ages and musical genres.

Individual tickets for South Florida Symphony Orchestra’s “Ravel on the Riviera” Gala start at $500. Standard seating tables for 10 start at $5,000 and VIP tables start at $10,000. Tickets can be purchased at southfloridasymphony.org/gala-2026. Sponsorship opportunities are still available for this special evening.

Her culinary leadership and warm hospitality have made her one of the brightest forces in contemporary Caribbean dining.

Rounding out the experience, award-winning DJ GQ will bring the heat to the Surfcomber with his signature mix of dancehall and reggae beats. Born in Miami and raised in Jamaica, DJ GQ—who’s toured globally with Kevin Lyttle and shared stages with artists like Akon, DMX, Mr. Vegas, and Skip Marley—infuses his sets with the same cultural energy that’s made him a mainstay on Y100 Miami and Bob Marley’s Tuff Gong Radio. A 2024 EDMA Mixshow DJ of the Year, he’s known for transforming any event into a vibrant celebration of Caribbean rhythm and spirit—making him the perfect soundtrack for this tropical soirée.

Island City Stage presents The Little Foxes 1/8/26 – 2/1/26

Island City Stage presents The Little Foxes

Cost: https://www.islandcitystage.org/season-13-1-1#/productions-view

Lillian Hellman’s The Little Foxes, a searing Broadway and silver screen classic, storms into Island City Stage with all its ruthless ambition, razor-sharp dialogue, and Southern gothic splendor from January 8 – February 1. Tickets are on sale now.

Set in the Deep South at the turn of the 20th century, this gripping drama follows the wealthy but morally bankrupt Hubbard family, bound by blood but torn apart by greed. At the center is Regina, a calculating and charismatic woman determined to get her share of the American Dream—no matter the cost. Together with her cruel brothers Oscar and Benjamin, the Hubbards will stop at nothing to secure a fortune. But when Regina’s ailing husband refuses to fund their scheme, the claws come out and the lies begin to spiral. With money on the line and family loyalty up for sale, the Hubbards prove one chilling truth: some people eat the earth—and some just stand by and watch.

The original Broadway production of The Little Foxes opened in 1939 at the National Theatre and ran for 410 performances. It originally starred Tallulah Bankhead as Regina Hubbard Giddens who went on to win awards and reprise her role in the 1941 radio adaptation. It was Bette Davis, however, who starred in the film adaptation alongside the other Broadway stars making their film debuts. Over the years and many incarnations of the play, the coveted role of the malevolently, ruthlessly scheming Regina Giddens has been played by notable actresses including Greer Garson, Anne Bancroft, Geraldine Page, Stockard Channing, Marg Helgenberger, Laura Linney and Cynthia Nixon.

Austin Pendleton directed a production at the Parker Playhouse in Fort Lauderdale for three weeks that transferred to the Kennedy Center in Washington, D.C., for six weeks before opening on Broadway in 1981, at the Martin Beck Theatre for 123 performances and eight previews. The cast included Elizabeth Taylor as Regina, Tom Aldredge as Horace, Dennis Christopher as Leo, Maureen Stapleton as Birdie, and Anthony Zerbe as Benjamin. Taylor received nominations for both the Tony Award for Best Performance by a Leading Actress in a Play and the Drama Desk Award for Outstanding Actress in a Play. Tony nominations also went to Pendleton for Best Direction of a Play, Aldredge for Best Featured Actor in a Play, Stapleton for Best Featured Actress in a Play, and the play itself for Best Revival.

Island City Stage’s production of The Little Foxes is directed by Michael Leeds and stars Mia Matthews (Regina), Margery Lowe (Birdie), Christopher Dreeson (Horace), JohnBarry Green (Oscar), Cary Brianna Hart (Haddie), Christian Cooper (Leo), Jeff Burleson (Marshall), Mallory Flory (Alexandra), Randy Coleman (Cal), and Steve Trovillion (Ben).

The Little Foxes co-producers are Thel Boyette & David Page, Lights and Sound Sponsors are Glenn Goldberg & Robert Lee, Talent Sponsors are Art & Fran Greenberg and Costume Sponsor is Scott Bennett. Additional funding is provided by the following: The Our Fund Foundation, The Schubert Foundation Inc., the SHS Foundation, the Warten Foundation, OutClique and the Broward County Board of County Commissioners as recommended by the Broward Cultural Council.

Individual show tickets start at $45. A special Women’s Night at the Theatre sponsored by Caryl Stevens will take place on January 23. The show runs for two hours and 30 minutes including two intermissions.

From twisted tales to touching human stories, Island City Stage’s upcoming season invites you to expect the unexpected. Upcoming bold productions, each delivering unexpected twists, inventive storytelling, and unforgettable theatrical moments Everything Beautiful Happens at Night by Ted Malawer from April 2 – 26; Light Switch by Dave Osmundsen from May 21 – June 14 and Eureka Day by Jonathan Spector from August 20 – September 20.

Island City Stage will also be offering two Flexpass options this season.

Investing in heritage and community is priority #1 for Chef JJ Johnson.

The Cookout is Chef JJ’s way of reclaiming and celebrating the beauty and brilliance of African American culinary traditions. It’s an opportunity to honor the individuals who have shaped and sustained this extraordinary legacy. As the visionary behind this unique SOBEWFF® walkaround event, Chef JJ brings together dishes that tell the story of heritage, resilience, and creativity.

At this event, you’ll savor an array of dishes, each representing a piece of history and tradition. These creations will be brought to life by an exceptional and diverse group of chefs who, like Chef JJ, are passionate about reconstructing historical foodways and paying homage to culturally significant ingredients and techniques.

Capping off the evening, Grammy-nominated hip-hop legend Fat Joe will deliver an electrifying live performance. A Bronx native and cultural icon, Fat Joe has shaped the sound of hip-hop for over two decades with chart-topping hits like “Lean Back,” “What’s Luv?” and “All the Way Up.” His undeniable influence and charismatic stage presence have earned him global acclaim, cementing his place as one of the genre’s most enduring figures.

With Fat Joe bringing the beats and Chef JJ curating the bites, this vibrant celebration at the Eden Roc promises an unforgettable fusion of food, music, and storytelling — a night where heritage, rhythm, and flavor come together in perfect harmony.

NOIZE MC. NORTH AMERICAN TOUR 2026

Noize MC is one of the most outspoken anti-Putin, anti-war Russian artists in exile — a musician whose work sits at the crossroads of rap, rock, and sharp political commentary. Over the past 15 years, he has become a defining voice for a generation, known for his fearless freestyling, genre-blending sound, and uncompromising civic stance. He was named to Forbes’ “50 Stars” list in 2010 and 2019 and received MTV Europe Music Awards nominations for Best Russian Artist in both years.

In 2019, Noize MC released “Just Like Everyone Else,” a scathing critique of contemporary Russia that went viral, amassing more than 36 million views on his official YouTube channel. His 2025 album Not All There marked a major turning point in his career and is widely regarded as one of the most important releases in recent Russian-language music.

After publicly condemning Russia’s full-scale invasion of Ukraine in February 2022 — following more than a decade of protest activity against Vladimir Putin’s regime — Noize MC left Russia and settled in Lithuania. Together with fellow artist Monetochka, he launched Voices of Peace, a series of benefit concerts that raised over €400,000 for Ukrainian civilians. In December 2024, Noize MC and Monetochka were nominated for the Nobel Peace Prize.

South Florida Symphony Orchestra (SFSO) continues its 28th spirited Masterworks season of “Juxtapositions” with a new sparkling evening of music led by SFSO’s award-winning music director Sebrina María Alfonso. On Thursday, January 22, at New World Center in Miami Beach (500 17th Street), rhythmic drive meets lyrical beauty in an exhilarating program brimming with wit and brilliance, anchored by the sweeping power of Sibelius’ Symphony No. 2. SFSO fan-favorite Svetlana Smolina also returns for Ravel’s jazzy and spirited Piano Concerto in G major, and Vaughan Williams’ ethereal Fantasia on a Theme by Thomas Tallis opens the evocative evening. The concert begins at 7:30 p.m. Enjoy a pre-concert chat with Dr. Alan Mason 30 minutes before the concert, featuring in-depth conversation and insights about the works and composers.
Among her many accolades, pianist Svetlana Smolina has performed with major orchestras and in recitals worldwide, including the New York Philharmonic, Mariinsky Orchestra, St. Petersburg Philharmonic, Orchestre National de France, Salzburg Festival, Hollywood Bowl, Ravinia, White Nights in Saint Petersburg, Maggio Musicale Fiorentino, Moscow Easter Festival, Rotterdam Philharmonic, Hanoi Opera House, London’s Royal Opera Covent Garden, and Rome’s Accademia Santa Cecilia. She has appeared frequently with South Florida Symphony Orchestra, including during its 25th anniversary season, and will also be the featured guest artist at the Symphony’s 2026 gala on January 17.

Her discography includes the solo album Romantic Journey and a 2025 recording of Rachmaninoff’s Piano Concerto No. 3 with the Czech National Symphony Orchestra, both produced by Luca Rustici for L’n’R Productions/Universal Music. Other recordings include Chopin for iTunes, Scriabin on Pentatone, a live concert with Christopher O’Riley in Montana, and a Walt Disney Concert Hall recording for BCM+D Records. Her performances have aired on NPR, WQXR, BBC, PBS, RAI, and Kultura TV. Her recording of Stravinsky’s Les Noces with Valery Gergiev received an International Classical Music Award (ICMA).

Smolina has collaborated in chamber music with Ida Haendel, Vadim Repin, Narek Hakhnazaryan, Kian Soltani, Charlie Siem, and others, performing at venues including Koerner Hall (Toronto), Salle Garnier de Monte Carlo, and Teatro Lirico di Cagliari. Recent engagements include tours in China, Peru, Brazil, Japan, Greece, and Spain, and festival appearances at iPalpiti, Classical Tahoe, and Triumph Music Festival.

SFSO’s 28th season of “Juxtapositions” explores beauty in contrasts, where the bold and the sublime intersect, and timeless masterpieces share the stage with today’s most compelling and celebrated musical voices. From Mozart’s vivacious “Haffner” symphony to the sun-drenched skies of Mendelssohn’s “Italian” and the sweeping emotion of Sibelius’ Violin Concerto — performances burst with color and power. Beethoven’s luminous Piano Concerto No. 4 and Dvořák’s Bohemian Eighth deepen the journey, while Rimsky-Korsakov’s Capriccio espagnol whirls with Spanish flair. SFSO is also proud to present upcoming orchestra firsts by contemporary GRAMMY-nominated composers, including the Florida premiere of Had to Be by Haitian American Nathalie Joachim, featuring breakout cellist Seth Parker Woods, and Carlos Simon’s Four Black American Dances.

From sold-out masterworks performances to accompanying today’s musicians such as Natalie Merchant and performing modern musical scores including Tim Burton’s The Nightmare Before Christmas and Back to the Future, featuring the iconic films screened live with audio and musical accompaniment, South Florida’s largest symphonic orchestra is continuing its journey of excellence inspiring audiences of all ages and musical genres.

John Pizzarelli Presents Dear Mr. Bennett
Thursday, 01/08/2026-, 07:00 pm-11:00 pm
Faena Theater

Miami Beach, Florida, 33140

Cost: $75-$170

Kicking off the 10th Annual South Beach Jazz Festival, Grammy Award–winning guitarist, vocalist, and producer John Pizzarelli brings his signature charm and swing to the Faena Theater in a heartfelt salute to the legendary Tony Bennett.

Hailed by The Boston Globe for “reinvigorating the Great American Songbook and re-popularizing jazz,” Pizzarelli leads his trio through more than six decades of Bennett’s timeless repertoire – from beloved early hits like “Because of You” and “Rags to Riches” to the unforgettable “I Left My Heart in San Francisco.” Audiences will also be treated to highlights from Bennett’s late-career renaissance and collaborations, woven together with Pizzarelli’s warm wit and behind-the-music stories.

With effortless musicianship and impeccable style, the John Pizzarelli Trio celebrates one of America’s most beloved voices in an evening that promises pure swing, sophistication, and sentiment.

Mouse King: The Untold Story Of The Nutcracker Returns For Its 2025 Holiday Run, Bringing South Florida A Fresh Twist On A Timeless Tale

South Florida’s favorite holiday tradition is back! Mouse King: The Untold Story of The Nutcracker, the family-favorite musical created by Sesame Street veteran Noel MacNeal and award-winning composer Jim Camacho, returns to the Mandelstam Theater this December with an all-new edition of the magically reimagined Nutcracker story… told from the other side of the battle.
Now in its twelfth year, “Mouse King” invites audiences to step into a whimsical world where the mice take center stage and the Nutcracker isn’t quite the hero he’s been made out to be. Packed with heart, humor, and holiday wonder, the musical brings together a vibrant cast of young Miami performers, spectacular puppetry, and show-stopping special effects for an unforgettable seasonal tradition.

“Twelve years ago, Noel MacNeal shared an idea, and I nudged him to take it from page to stage. We met in a coffee shop to dream up Mouse King, and somehow that little spark has become a South Florida holiday tradition,” says composer Jim Camacho. “Thanks to our incredible kids, professional actors and puppeteers, and the extraordinary puppets crafted by James Wojtal of Henson and Sesame Street, the spirit of Christmas fills the Mandelstam Theater every year.”

Featuring puppets crafted by master puppeteer James Wojtal Jr. – whose work has appeared on Saturday Night Live, The Today Show, and Last Week Tonight with John Oliver – the production also welcomes guest artists from New York City. Together, they bring MacNeal’s imaginative retelling to life in a way that captivates first-timers and returning families alike.

With a one-hour runtime and no intermission, “Mouse King” is designed for audiences of all ages (minimum age 3). The production remains one of Miami’s most cherished seasonal outings, drawing families back year after year to celebrate the magic of storytelling, community, and Chrismouse cheer.

2025 PERFORMANCE DATES
Friday, December 12 – 7 PM
Saturday, December 13 – 12 PM & 7 PM
Sunday, December 14 – 12 PM

All children, regardless of age, require a ticket. Minimum age is 3 years.

ABOUT “MOUSE KING”
A holiday musical for the whole family, “Mouse King” retells the classic Nutcracker story from the perspective of the mice – complete with enchanting music, handcrafted puppets, and a cast of talented young performers from across the Miami community. Created by acclaimed puppeteer Noel MacNeal (The Muppets, Bear in the Big Blue House, Sesame Street) and award-winning composer Jim Camacho, the musical has become a cherished South Florida tradition celebrating its twelfth year in 2025.
