Performing Arts

by Mary Damiano

More than two dozen productions will open at Miami-area theatres this season — dramas to make you think, comedies to makes you laugh and musicals to make you sing your way home. Me, I’ll see them all, that’s a given. But there are some things I’m especially looking forward to. Here are my picks for the season’s highlights:

White Christmas

For me, nothing says Christmas like a splashy holiday musical, and nobody does splashy musicals like Actor’s Playhouse. The company will kick off the holiday season with the first regional production of White Christmas, a new musical based on the classic Bing Crosby movie, with songs and lyrics by Irving Berlin. White Christmas runs from Nov. 15 to Dec. 31. For more information visit www.actorsplayhouse.org.

Sin Full Heaven

As an actor, director, dancer, choreographer and artistic director of New Theatre in Coral Gable, Ricky J. Martinez wears many hats. Early next year he’ll be wearing a yet another, that of a playwright with a show off-Broadway. But before Martinez’s play Sin Full Heaven takes a bite out of the Big Apple, South Florida audiences will get to see the world premiere of this gothic drama about a tyrannical father who confines his adult daughter to his sugarcane plantation. Sin Full Heaven runs Jan. 18 to Feb. 11. For more information visit www.new-theatre.org.

Fat Pig

Neil LaBute is about as edgy, controversial and politically incorrect as a playwright can get. He likes to make audiences squirm and make them think. In those ways, he has a lot in common with Joseph Adler, the artistic director of the GableStage Theatre, which has produced several LaBute plays in the last few years. The GableStage is set to present the southeastern premiere of another LaBute Play, Fat Pig, about a man tired of the insults lobbed at his large and lovely girlfriend. Fat Pig runs Feb. 24 to March 25. For more information visit www.gablestage.org.

Lavender Footlights Festival

This coming April marks the fifth anniversary of Lavender Footlights, the annual festival of gay and lesbian-themed play readings produced by Creative Arts Enterprises. The festival really came of age this year as it settled into its space at Dot 51 Gallery, taking it out of a traditional theatre setting and establishing itself as a hip happening. During their first four years. The Lavender Footlights Festival has presented plays by some of South Florida’s most dynamic local talent, including Michael McKeever and Ricky J. Martinez, as well as some the most well respected playwrights in the country, like Claudia Allen, who attended the festival last May. I can’t wait to see what they do next. This year’s Lavender Footlights Festival runs April 18-22. For more information visit www.caemia.org/lavender.htm.

Dirty Rotten Scoundrels

Another musical based on a movie, Dirty Rotten Scoundrels is the second Broadway Across America at the Carnival Center for the Performing Arts. It’s about two con men in competition to scam a woman on the French Riviera. Dirty Rotten Scoundrels runs Dec. 4-10. For more information visit www.carnivalcenter.org.
