"Weather Girl"

Ella Olesen is as a California weather girl who struggles to deliver forecasts about a climate-stricken planet with unflinching optimism. Beneath her sunshiny veneer lurks something fantastically primal, something that may be the key to saving us all. Directed by Nicole Stodard.

Show runs Sept. 25 through Oct. 18.

GableStage, 1200 Anastasia Ave., Coral Gables

International Hispanic Theatre Festival

Hamlet

A group of people with Down syndrome takes the stage to share their aspirations and frustrations through a free adaptation of *Hamlet*. The play weaves together Shakespeare’s text and the actors' own lives, taking as its starting point the question the play poses about existence.

To be or not to be? What does "being" mean for people who find no spaces where they are truly seen or considered?

Presented by Teatro Avante and the Adrienne Arsht Center

Carnival Studio Theater, Sept. 24-26.

Broadway Across Miami

It’s been years since legendary singer Omara Portuondo last entered a recording studio. Once known as the “Queen of Feeling,” her voice was celebrated throughout Cuba – until  she vanished from the spotlight. But when an ambitious young record producer brings her a rare opportunity, the elusive diva must finally reckon with her past. A hit on Broadway, now it's coming to Miami.

Opens Tuesday, Sept. 29. 7:30 p.m. Tuesday through Thursday, 8 p.m. Friday, 2 and 8 p.m. Saturday, and 1 and 7 p.m. Sunday. Through Sunday, Oct. 4.

MUSIC

Silvana Estrada

Miami Beach Bandshell

Latin GRAMMY-winning Mexican singer-songwriter Silvana Estrada pairs rich and captivating vocals with the Venezuelan cuatro, weaving together Latin American folk, indie, and jazz. Her songs are intimate and personal, filling the room with warmth, vulnerability, and quiet power. As Dazed aptly described her, Estrada is “the young, Latin American answer to Joni Mitchell” On Vendrán Suaves Lluvias, Estrada transforms grief, hope, and everyday beauty into songs that linger long after the final note.
