This April, Puttshack Dania Beach marks Autism Acceptance Month with a continued commitment to accessibility and inclusion, paired with a month-long giveback benefiting KultureCity®, the nation’s leading nonprofit focused on sensory accessibility and acceptance. Throughout April, Puttshack will donate 20% of proceeds from all 9-hole mini golf games booked through www.puttshack.com/locations/dania-beach directly to KultureCity, extending the giveback across all 19 locations nationwide. The effort builds on Puttshack’s ongoing partnership with KultureCity and its Sensory Inclusive™ certification, reflecting a continued investment in creating environments that are accessible, thoughtful, and easy to navigate for guests with sensory needs. At the Dania Beach location, guests have access to sensory bags equipped with noise-reducing headphones, fidget tools, and verbal cue cards. These resources are designed to support a more comfortable and confident experience from arrival to final putt. The venue is also featured on the KultureCity website, allowing guests to preview the space in advance and better understand the accommodations available before visiting. With one in four individuals experiencing a sensory processing need or invisible disability, the partnership reflects a shared commitment to making everyday experiences more inclusive, ensuring that every guest can engage with the space in a way that feels both welcoming and intuitive. Arriving alongside the April initiative, Puttshack is also rolling out its most significant menu evolution since launching in the U.S. in 2021. The updated lineup leans into familiar favorites with a more considered approach, introducing new shareable dishes, reworked classics, and a refreshed beverage program designed to match the energy of the game. Highlights include a signature skirted cheeseburger, stacked and seared for added texture, a birria nacho tower built for the table, and churro dippers finished with sugar and spice. Behind the bar, the program expands with new cocktails and spirit-free options, including an espresso martini designed without alcohol and an exclusive barrel-select Old Fashioned available only at Puttshack. Puttshack’s Autism Acceptance Month giveback runs through April 30, 2026. For more information or to make a reservation, visit www.puttshack.com/locations/dania-beach.

Cost: $25

The Coconut Grove Theatre Festival (CGTFest) returns April 16–19, 2026, bringing four days of original new plays, both emerging and award-winning voices, and community-driven theatre back to its historic Miami home.

Following a successful inaugural year that featured eight plays, 16 of Miami’s leading and emerging theatre creatives, 42 actors from across South Florida, and more than 700 audience members, CGTFest returns in 2026 with expanded programming and renewed ambition.

What made CGTFest 2025 such a success was the incredible excitement and support, both from our artists and partners, and also from our audience, which ranged from first-time theatregoers to long-time arts supporters. Their enthusiasm and engagement is why CGTFest can return this year to bring even more exciting stories to life for an expanded audience of Grovites, South Floridians, and for the first time, the youngest of theatre fans for a CGTFest children’s matinee,” said William Hector, Founder and Artistic Director of CGTFest.

This year, CGTFest expands its audience by introducing a Children’s Matinee for the first time, featuring two original plays written by leading Miami dramatists Vanessa Garcia and Brandon Urrutia. Designed to welcome young theatre fans and families into the Festival experience, the productions will incorporate music and puppetry to create an engaging and imaginative experience for children.

Island City Stage presents the East Coast Premiere of Everything Beautiful Happens at Night 4/2/2026, 4/3/26 – 4/26/26

Island City Stage presents the East Coast Premiere of Everything Beautiful Happens at Night
Thursday, 04/02/2026-04/26/2026, 07:00 pm-09:30 pm
Island City Stage
2304 N. Dixie Highway,
Wilton Manors, Florida, 33305
Website
Cost: $30 – $62

From writer Ted Malawer (Red, White, & Royal Blue), Carbonell and Silver Palm Award-winning director Bruce Linser, and featuring stunning illustrations by multi-award-winning artist Bong Redila, Everything Beautiful Happens at Night is a tender, funny, and moving story about the life you have, the life you want, and who stays when the world gets quiet. Tickets are on sale now for Island City Stage’s East Coast premiere of the play which runs April 2- 26.

Ezra is a closeted children’s book author. Nancy is his fiercely loyal editor. Their creative partnership has shaped stories that delight generations. But when writer’s block pushes Ezra far past deadlines to deliver his latest book, a new voice enters the conversation and begins to change Ezra’s life, inspiring a controversial ending to Chipmunk and Squirrel, and testing the limits of his friendship with Nancy.

As a former literary agent for children’s book authors, then as an editor of children’s books, and ultimately as a children’s book author and novelist, himself, Ted Malawer has spun a tale close to home. Everything Beautiful Happens at Night was partially inspired by his childhood LGBTQ author heroes Maurice Sendak (“Where the Wild Things Are”) and Arnold Lobel (“Frog and Toad” books). The play held its world premiere at Capital Stage in Sacramento, California, in early 2025 and its second U.S. staging brings it to the award-winning Island City Stage in Wilton Manors, Florida.

Island City Stage’s production of Everything Beautiful Happens at Night, directed by Linser, stars Christopher Dreeson as Ezra, Laura Turnbull as Nancy, and Aidan Paul as Jake.

Everything Beautiful Happens at Night co-producers are Russell Vance, Michael Mullins and Terry Gaw; Lights and Sound Sponsor is Scott Bennett; Talent Sponsors are Paul Rolli & Bennett Quade and Robert Lee; Costume Sponsors are Rita Cassady and John Colemen; Set Sponsors are Margie & Trevor Fried; and Illustrations Sponsor is DC Allen & Ken Flick No Gay Hate Fund at Our Fund. Additional funding is provided by the following: The Our Fund Foundation, The Schubert Foundation Inc., the SHS Foundation, the Warten Foundation, and OutClique.

Individual show tickets start at $45. A Mimosa Sunday performance sponsored by John Fomook and Charles Lee will take place on April 12. A special Women’s Night at the Theatre sponsored by Barbara Signer and Fran Epstein will take place on April 24. The show runs for one hour and 40 minutes with no intermission.

Island City Stage believes that theatre should belong to the next generation of storytellers, artists, and audiences. Its new “30 Under 30” initiative invites patrons ages 18–29 to experience award-winning, professional theatre for just $30 per ticket (plus taxes & fees; subject to availability on Thursday and Friday evenings and Saturday matinees). Limit one ticket per patron per production. A government-issued photo ID will be required at will call. When ordering online, use discount code “30U30.”
