Mouse King: The Untold Story Of The Nutcracker Returns For Its 2025 Holiday Run, Bringing South Florida A Fresh Twist On A Timeless Tale 12/12/25 – 12/14/25

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.

Hollywood Art and Culture Center, celebrating its 50th anniversary, will feature three new art exhibitions for the fall/winter season. Dennis Scholl: A Day of Four Sunsets and Felice Grodin: Where Do I Go From Here? will be on display from Saturday, October 18, through Sunday, January 4, and Brian Reedy: Gothic Pop Prints will be on display from October 18 through November 2 in the main gallery space. An opening reception will take place on October 18 beginning at 6 p.m.

A Day of Four Sunsets presents a new body of work by Miami-based artist Dennis Scholl, exploring the poetics of space exploration through assemblages of NASA memorabilia. The exhibition takes its title from astronaut John Glenn’s experience of witnessing four sunsets as he orbited Earth in 1962, evoking themes of time, memory, and the sublime vastness of the cosmos. Scholl’s work, rooted in the language of historical artifacts and collective memory, arranges space exploration ephemera into compositions structured by the dodecagon — a recurring motif in his practice that represents cyclical time and cosmic order. Over the past decade, he has meticulously gathered NASA-related materials, including mission patches, declassified documents, photographs, and newspaper clippings, integrating them into intricate assemblages that reframe our understanding of humanity’s relationship with the unknown. Scholl’s work gives us an insight into his keen collector’s eye and his skill at design and storytelling. In Untitled (Viking Orbiter II), photographs of Mars captured using surface imaging are arranged in thoughtful compositions. Visitors will find themselves viewing a piece of history transported back to 1969 with the work Untitled (Man on Moon). This exhibition contains more than 14 works of art that immerse the viewer into the history and collective memory of outer space, the universe, and astronauts. From real space food to sculptures created using space gloves, to viewfinders with images of the universe, this exhibition will fascinate science, history and modern art enthusiasts alike.

Felice Grodin’s architectural training informs her drawings, intricately weaving together elements of imagination, the future, and the past. Where Do I Go From Here? features more than 10 new works, some of which were created during Grodin’s time as a Center 2025 Spring Artist in Residence. With meticulous care and references to ancient civilizations, Grodin renders lines into complex arrangements of circles and curves, creating dynamic three-dimensional forms and exploring the concept of mental boundaries. Her art transports viewers to a psychological realm reminiscent of maps, cities, landscapes, and speculative future worlds. These ink drawings on mylar can sometimes rely on chance, or automatism, liberating not only the creative process, but inviting viewers into the surreal.

Gothic Pop Prints by Miami artist Brian Reedy features more than 10 custom linoleum block prints. The Center commissioned Reedy to create a work about Lizzie Borden inspired by Lizzie the Musical, which will be performed Oct. 18 – Nov. 1 at the Hollywood Central Performing Arts Center. In addition to the Lizzie Borden print, the exhibition features the macabre and spooky iconography of hauntings, oddities, and the afterlife in an expressionist and graphic style. Reedy’s woodblock prints combine his eye for graphic design, the skill of European medieval woodcuts and Japanese woodblock prints into modern pop culture masterpieces. Reedy creates modern works of art using the painstaking process of block printing, the craft of hand carving wood blocks to transfer ink to paper. Brian’s expertise in this art form has provided a unique combination of traditional print making with pop-culture iconography and themes.

A guided tour of the exhibition will take place on Thursday, December 4, at 7 p.m. An artist talk will take place on Saturday, December 13, at 1 p.m. On Saturdays, November 15 and December 20, at 6 p.m., a free curator tour/Downtown Hollywood Art Walk will be conducted.

These exhibits were made possible through support from the City of Hollywood, Broward County Cultural Division, Broward County Board of County Commissioners, Max Chira and Family, State of Florida Division of Arts and Culture, National Endowment for the Arts, Community Foundation Broward, David and Francie Horvitz Family Foundation, Josephine S. Leiser Foundation, Memorial Healthcare System, The Windhover Foundation & Quadracci Family, Kofsky Weinger, PA, and Helen Ingham Foundation.

Kids and families can now play and save the day with the heroic PAW Patrol™ pups, at the brand-new PAW Patrol: Adventure Play traveling exhibit presented by Joe DiMaggio Children’s Hospital, Florida Prepaid College Savings Plan and Chewy VetCare, opening September 12 at the Museum of Discovery and Science (MODS). Based on the hit preschool series PAW Patrol, produced by Spin Master Entertainment and airing on Nickelodeon, this interactive exhibit gives kids and their grown-ups an opportunity to run rescue missions and work together to overcome challenges in a fun and immersive environment. The exhibit runs through January 10, 2026.
Families will visit Adventure Bay with a group of eight rescue pups. Each pup is inspired by a real-world job like a police officer (Chase), a firefighter (Marshall), a construction worker (Rubble), a fearless pilot (Skye) and more. Just as the heroic pups, who believe “no job is too big, no pup is too small,” work together to protect the community on the TV show, families will work together to save the day with a can-do attitude. In the process, kids learn about different jobs within a community and how those real-life professionals coordinate to keep people safe and happy.
Each of the pups has special skills, gadgets and vehicles to help them on their rescue missions. In the exhibit, families are invited to pop on a pup pack containing their own imaginary tools and check out the lay of the land from the lookout tower. They can head to Jake’s Mountain and scope things out near the snowy slide to see if anyone is in trouble. They can also board the PAW Patroller, push buttons, and drive it up the mountain to help Rubble and Everest rescue a snowboarder stuck in the snow. Those with a taste for foodie adventures can whip up tasty treats in Porter’s Café and help Adventure Bay win the Tallest Cake Competition by stacking cake layers as high as they can. Families can also cruise Adventure Bay aboard the Sea Patroller, steering it to rescue baby seagulls and turtles.

The hands-on, immersive PAW Patrol: Adventure Play exhibit is a fun way for the whole family to learn bravery and heroism, with exciting stories. The whole family will learn how to combine their skills to problem-solve together and save the day.

Wanna Be Weekends in October and November: No Job Too Big!
MODS will extend the PAW Patrol: Adventure Play experience with Wanna Be Weekends, taking place every Saturday and Sunday in October and November. These themed weekends feature engaging, hands-on activities highlighting real-life community heroes and STEAM-based careers. From designing rescue vehicles and building homes to meeting local police officers, firefighters, first responders and even learning how to be a pilot, families will discover how teamwork, compassion and problem-solving shape the world around us. Thanks to support from the JetBlue Foundation, young aviators will have the chance to explore flight science and aviation careers through special programming and guest speakers.

On select days, Chewy VetCare will also host an interactive Vet Clinic, where children can step into the role of animal caretakers by practicing empathy and learning how to care for pets and other animals in need.

Each weekend brings new partners, fresh adventures and opportunities for children to imagine how they can make a difference just like the heroic pups of Adventure Bay.

PAW Patrol: Adventure Play was produced by The Children’s Museum of Indianapolis in partnership with Nickelodeon. The Children’s Museum of Indianapolis is a nonprofit committed to creating extraordinary family learning experiences across the arts, sciences, and humanities that have the power to transform the lives of children and families.

PAW Patrol: Adventure Play is included with admission to MODS. For more information about the exhibit, visit mods.org/exhibit/paw-patrol-adventure-play/.

Wild Rescue, an uplifting film following the inspiring journey of animals given a second chance at a wild life, opens at the AutoNation® IMAX® Theater at the Museum of Discovery and Science (MODS) on Friday, September 5. Produced by Tandem Stills + Motion, Inc., Wild Rescue is based on the work at the Santa Barbara Wildlife Care Network and its dedicated teams who rescue, rehabilitate and release injured and orphaned wild animals. The film is narrated by Marc Summers of Nickelodeon’s “Double Dare” and Food Network’s “Unwrapped.”

From the arrival of a fragile bobcat to the rehabilitation of a young fox evacuated during a wildfire, explore hospital admissions, groundbreaking medical treatments and the delicate balance of wildlife care. With breathtaking cinematography and heartwarming moments, Wild Rescue reminds us that every creature deserves a second chance – and that hope is worth fighting for.

Wild Rescue was filmed using the latest Red Digital Cinema camera systems, including the Red Raptor VV X. The film team captured breathtaking detail and dynamic range, enhancing every visual element for an unparalleled cinematic experience. Combined with cutting-edge aerial cinematography, immersive sound design and advanced visual effects, the film delivers a visually stunning and emotionally rich theater experience.

The official trailer for Wild Rescue can be viewed at wildrescuemovie.com.
