Cowboy,” written and directed by Layon Gray, tells the story of Bass Reeves, a freed slave who protected the Wild West as the first Black United States deputy marshal. Black cowboys are an integral yet forgotten element of the Wild West, which is something playwright and director Layon Gray hopes to change in his latest work, “Cowboy. ”Though “Cowboy” sold out all performances in a day at the 2019 National Black Theatre Festival, the coronavirus pandemic significantly scaled back how Gray and his team are able to present the show, including its format shifting to a streamed, digital performance. “The whole ending, you know, when the tornado comes, that’s one of my favorite parts, when the tornado just hits the saloon,” Gray said. “We can’t do it like we want to do it with all the effects, you know, because it is a bare-bones production with the projection and screen, but the tornado, that’s one of my favorite parts.” Now that the show is being produced by M Ensemble at the Sandrell Rivers Theater the audience will experience and feel all of those those effects in addition to the great actors..

Catherine is searching for something authentic as she embarks on a "Lewis-and-Clark-esque" trip across America sponsored by Monteverde Moonshine. But as she travels, she comes to more questions than answers about "the real America," her own identity, and about what authenticity even means anymore. This reading is part of the Playwright Development Program Alumni Reading Series, administered by the South Florida Theatre League on behalf of the Miami-Dade Department of Cultural Affairs.

SONNETS FOR AN OLD CENTURY by Jose Rivera directed by Michael Yawney You want to fight with existence? Go for it. You want to scream? Knock yourself out. A radiant play about the things we take with us as we begin again.

The free Digital Premiere of “El daño que hace el tabaco” by Anton Chekhov goes live on Saturday, April 3rd at 7pm. ⁣This Drive-Through Theatre Experience theatre performance was filmed live on January 30, 2021. The show - written, directed and performed by Larry Villanueva - begins with Professor Ivan Ivanovich Nyukhin's intention of giving a simple lecture on the harmful effects of tobacco. As the disorderly sermon begins to unravel, he delivers an unpredictable speech wavering between pathetic, ridiculous, and nonconforming, leading him to reveal terrible evils of the soul.⁣

Based on the true story of the world’s biggest art caper, Art Heist Experience is a true-crime walking show where socially distanced groups move through five walkable locations to gather clues. The amateur gumshoes interact with a wild group of wily career criminals, slimy con men, rumpled art-recovery specialists, a possible inside man, a gentle psychopath and the larger-than-life but definitely real self-proclaimed "Greatest Art Thief of All Time.” The story is based on the biggest art heist in history, which took place on March 18, 1990, when two thieves disguised as police officers entered Boston’s Isabella Stewart Gardner Museum in the middle of the night, telling guards they were investigating a disturbance. The $500 million pieces, including works by Rembrandt, Vermeer and Manet, as well as the robbers remain at large today. Expect intrigue, high stakes and laughs. Set your personal BS detector to its highest setting and help solve this mystery.
