TOUCH THE MOON by Arianna Rose. Directed by Ricky J. Martinez. “Miranda is a high school student leaving for Spring Break on an unnamed island. That is the last time she's ever seen alive. Through a series of short vignettes that connect past and present, we meet Miranda, her mother Becca, her best friend Emily, Stefan, and his father Dirk. A play about how humans need to know, and sometimes need to tell, TOUCH THE MOON draws a line between truth and lies and how they intersect. At its heart it is a story of motherly love and determination in the face of the unthinkable.” When: Thurs, April 7th @ 7:30 PM Where: Sandrell Rivers Theater 6103 NW 7th Ave Miami, FL, 33127 Tickets: $5 tickets.ftfshows.com Due to limited availability, please request in the ticket comment section if an assisted listening device is needed and quantity.For more information contact the Box Office at (305) 284-8872 or boxoffice@ftfshows.com Tickets Sales are Final.

TRANS-ITIONS by Donna Warfield. Directed by Gladys Ramirez “At the tender age of sixteen, Bette defies her family, community, and her Catholic faith by choosing to raise her son, Will, as a single teen mom. The boy’s father, Andy, disappears before Will’s birth, leaving Bette heartbroken and clinging to a fantasy of an ideal marriage and family with the headstrong Andy. Now, in middle age, Bette’s world is turned upside down when that fantasy becomes a very real possibility. Secrets are unearthed and her assumptions are challenged. Andy is not the man she thinks he is, and neither is her son Will.” When: March 31st @ 7:30-9:30 PM Where: Sandrell Rivers Theater 6103 NW 7th Ave Miami, FL 33127 Tickets: $5 tickets.ftfshows.com COVID-19 Protocol & Practices: Read our guidelines: https://www.sandrellriverstheater.com/reopening ADA Accommodations: It is our policy to comply with all of the requirements of the Americans with Disabilities Act.

Mr. Hatred is a lonely, sullen, and very bad-tempered character. One day, very early in the morning, he received the notification that a new neighbor will move to the apartment next door. This upsets him so much that he decides to prevent that move. What he doesn't know is that the new neighbor is Mrs. Love, a character completely opposite to him, which makes everything worse. Thus, Mr. Hatred undertakes a plan to attack his new neighbor and prevent her from settling in that apartment. What our hateful character does not know, is that everything he will try to do against his neighbor, will turn in him changing his life. El Sr. Odio es un personaje solitario, huraño y de muy mal carácter que, muy temprano en la mañana, se entera de que al apartamento que está justo al lado del suyo se mudará una nueva vecina. Esto lo altera tanto que decide oponerse a esa mudanza. Lo que no sabe es que la nueva vecina es la Sra Amor, un personaje completamente opuesto a él, lo cual lo empeora todo. Así, el Sr. Odio emprende un plan para atacar a su nueva vecina e impedir que se instale en ese apartamento. Lo que nuestro odioso personaje no sabe, es que todo lo que intentará hacer en contra de su vecina, retornará a él para cambiar su vida.

Fantasy Theatre Factory invites you to a series of New Year, New Works! ABOUT INQUISITION: Several university faculty families meet to decide whether to cooperate with a Congressional committee holding nationwide investigations on campuses of alleged foreign terrorist sympathizers or whether to join a college-wide protest against the attempt by the radical right that has gained control of the government to stifle dissent and freedom of speech. The faculty members' divisive discussion strips away their veneer of idyllic personal relationships and begins to tear apart their marriages as personal secrets are revealed.

Side by Side by Sondheim A Musical Entertainment Music and lyrics by Stephen Sondheim and music by Leonard Bernstein, Mary Rodgers, Richard Rodgers, Jule Styne Get ready to laugh, cry and fall in love with lyrics that are heartbreakingly true and music that captures soaring emotions with Side by Side by Sondheim. Simple and unpretentious, this Tony Award-nominated musical is a perfect introduction to the work of a contemporary master and a must for die-hard fans. Stephen Sondheim was the leading composer of musical theater for the past 50 years. His work is timeless. From the streets of ancient Rome to 19th century Japan, turn-of-the-century Sweden and the high-rise apartments of 1970 Manhattan, Sondheim’s songs represent a definite time and place. Yet they move beyond their settings to speak to us all. Now, with this award-nominated revue of his earliest work, some of the most lush, unforgettable songs from this musical theater master are presented in one magical evening. Featuring music from Company, Follies, A Little Night Music, A Funny Thing Happened on the Way to the Forum, Anyone Can Whistle and Pacific Overtures, along with classics written with musical theater giants Leonard Bernstein, Jule Styne and Richard Rodgers, this dazzling array of Sondheim's songs demonstrates his masterful craft and astounding creativity. Zoetic Stage continues its relationship with the work of Stephen Sondheim after mounting four critically acclaimed productions of his work. Assassins, Passion, Sunday in the Park With George and Sweeney Todd played to sold-out audiences and collectively garnered 29 Carbonell Award nominations, winning a total of seven awards, including Best Musical for Sunday in the Park With George and Assassins.
