THEATER  

"Todo Lo Que No Dije"

Miami New Drama

Opens Friday, June 19 through Thursday, July 2

(In Spanish with English translation through headset)

Part confession and part live investigation, "Todo Lo Que No Dije" is a fun, intimate, and moving theatrical experience where the audience becomes part of the story. When a man discovers a postcard that may have been written by the father he has not spoken to in decades, a small mystery turns into an unforgettable journey through memories, migration, music, paper airplanes, and lost connections. The show stars Christian McGaffney and transforms the theater into a kind of living memory palace where the audience passes postcards, throws paper airplanes, shares memories, and helps reconstruct a past that refuses to disappear.

The Shark Is Broken

Actors' Playhouse

""he Shark is Broken" dives deep into the chaotic behind-the-scenes drama of Jaws, where testy, feuding co-stars, unpredictable weather and a constantly malfunctioning mechanical shark threaten the movie’s success. Co-written by Ian Shaw (son of Jaws star Robert Shaw) and Joseph Nixon, this sharp-witted comedy captures the tension, camaraderie and hilarity between Robert Shaw, Richard Dreyfuss and Roy Scheider as they bicker, drink, gamble and pray for the shoot to end—unaware they are making cinematic history.

Actors Playhouse, Miracle Mile, Coral Gables, opens July 15 and runs through Aug. 9.

Mindy Solomon Gallery

Exhibitions closing on Saturday, July 18.

• Christine Rebhuhn: Blow
  
  

Blow, the first solo presentation and second show for Christine Rebhuhn at the gallery. The exhibition is comprised of stand alone and relief sculptures rendered in her meticulous, concise manner. Rebhun writes: “Some of the most beautiful things can remain hidden from our view, because their expansiveness is too large to be knowable, or because they live inside the space of the mind. This work searches for what we cannot say.” Prominent curator and writer Anne-Laure Lemaitre contributed the following essay about the exhibition.

• Minkyu Lee: Instinct
  
  

Minkyu Lee has participated in several group exhibitions and art fairs with the gallery, however this marks his first solo presentation. Comprised of both functional and non-functional design works, the exhibition highlights Lee’s commitment to exceptional craftsmanship and meticulous detail.

• Glenn Barkley: In the Cactus Garden
  
  

In the Cactus Garden is the third solo exhibition of Australian artist Glenn Barkley. Barkley is a self-taught ceramicist whose innovative works are instantly recognizable for their distinctly personal style.
