Sometimes being slow, small or weak can have its advantages in Survival of the Slowest, the newest summer traveling exhibit presented by Joe DiMaggio Children’s Hospital, running June 7 through September 5, at the Museum of Discovery and Science (MODS). Guests will get an in-depth look at the often-overlooked species that evolved to slow down as part of their survival strategy in a world where large, strong and fast animals are often at the top of the food chain.

The exhibit will feature 14 habitats with live animals (17 species) and plants. Guests will get an up-close look at wildlife with daily presentations featuring a sloth, a tarantula, tortoises, a hedgehog, a blue-tongued skink and more* via wildlife educators and MODS’ Life Sciences staff. Meet animals that have survived for millions of years despite being very slow and learn about the puzzling sides of evolution and adaptation. Discover the difference between warm- and cold-blooded species, explore why some animals need less food than others and see the unique ways they hide from predators.

This educational exhibit looks at the different survival strategies of various species. How can slow and steady win the race? Does bigger always mean better? What animals benefit from being weak rather than strong? This exhibit looks at the advantages and disadvantages of these different traits.

This world class exhibit is produced by Little Ray’s Nature Exhibitions in collaboration with the Canadian Museum of Nature. It is locally sponsored by Joe DiMaggio Children’s Hospital. Little Ray’s Nature Centres is the largest exotic animal rescue organization in Canada with educational programs reaching more than one million Canadians each year. Most of the animals in this exhibition are rescues.

Included with Museum admission.

Actors' Playhouse at the Miracle Theatre
280 Miracle Mile,
Coral Gables, Florida, 33134
Website
Cost: Ticket prices range from $40 to $75.

Actors’ Playhouse is thrilled to present the Florida Premiere of Sean Grennan’s new play A Rock Sails By from May 15 – June 9, 2024 at the Miracle Theatre. This marks Grennan’s sixth production at Actors’ Playhouse, following the success of Now and Then, The Tin Woman, Making God Laugh, Married Alive! and Another Night Before Christmas. Renowned for his adept craftsmanship, Grennan brings forth endearing and authentic characters, crafting moments that blend humor with genuine human experiences.

In A Rock Sails By, Dr. Lynn Cummings, an astrophysicist, tries to bring science and faith into balance while grappling with personal questions, reconnecting with her daughter, and mourning the loss of her husband. When an unidentified object is discovered heading toward Earth, a less-than-reputable online magazine misquotes her, casting doubt on her credibility. Dr. Cummings hopes to witness nothing remarkable and thus save her reputation, but there is no telling what she will discover beyond the stars.

Under the direction of David Arisco, A Rock Sails By stars Laura Turnbull as Dr. Lynn Cummings, marking her third Sean Grennan play following acclaimed performances in Now and Then and The Tin Woman at Actors’ Playhouse. Turnbull was recently seen in Cabaret at Zoetic Stage, Rooted at Theatre Lab, and Murder On the Orient Express at the Maltz Jupiter Theatre. Lela Elam returns to the Miracle Theatre as the Player, following her compelling portrayal in The Tin Woman and notable appearance in The Book Club Play. Daniel Llaca, featured in last season’s Proof, plays Jason, with recent credits including “Magic Mike 3” (dir. by Steven Soderbergh), Summer Shorts 25th Anniversary (City Theatre), and The Impracticality of Modern-Day Mastodons (Theatre Lab). Mallory Newbrough rounds out this impressive ensemble as Olive, known to Actors’ Playhouse audiences from recent productions of Now and Then and Murder on the Orient Express.

The creative team for A Rock Sails By includes Scenic Design by Brandon M. Newton, Lighting Design by Eric Nelson, Costume Design by Ellis Tillman, Sound Design by Reidar Sorensen, Set Dressing and Properties Design by Jodi Dellaventura, Production Management by Carlos Correa and Production Stage Management by Amy London.

This event is made possible with the support of Miami-Dade County Department of Cultural Affairs, the Cultural Affairs Council, and the Miami Dade County Mayor and Board of County Commissioners for Major Cultural Institutions, and is sponsored in part by the State of Florida, Department of State, Division of Arts and Culture and the Florida Council on Arts and Culture, with support of the City of Coral Gables, and the following sponsors: Azamara, BACARDÍ U.S.A., Delta Air Lines, NBC 6 South Florida, Mega TV, Zeta 92.3 and South Florida PBS.

MIAMI, FL.- Tras tres exitosas temporadas de sold out en el 2019, “En la Vida hay Amores” la “bolero-ópera” del periodista y escritor venezolano, César Miguel Rondón, protagonizada por los talentosísimos Lena Burke y Rafael “Pollo” Brito, regresa al escenario del Colony Theatre de Miami Beach del 6 al 23 de junio de este 2024.
Narrada en vivo por el propio César Miguel Rondón, el show cuenta la historia de “El” y de “Ella” una historia de amor y desamor como tantas que existen en la vida cotidiana contada al ritmo de los mejores y más entrañables boleros de todos los tiempos. El repertorio incluye una treintena de boleros clásicos interpretados magistralmente por Burke y Brito acompañados por un cuarteto en vivo de músicos de talla mundial dirigido por el maestro Héctor Molina.
Cuenta su autor que se inspiró en la letra de “Inolvidable”, el famosísimo bolero escrito por el músico y compositor cubano Julio Gutiérrez en 1944. “Después de tantos años disfrutando este género, me di cuenta de que la gente se podía hablar a través de las canciones o, mejor dicho, los boleros decían lo que la gente se reclamaba en circunstancias críticas” afirma Rondón.
