The Juneteenth Experience, Hued Songs’ flagship celebration of the federal holiday marking June 19, 1865, returns for its 6th year to the Miami Beach Bandshell, where it began. Now one of South Florida’s most anticipated cultural traditions, this concert-theater production explores the theme “We, Too, Sing America,” inspired by the Langston Hughes poem - blending gospel, blues, R&B, and classical music in a powerful reflection on identity, history, and the Black roots of American sound. This free event is presented as part of Miami Beach Arts in the Parks, by Rhythm Foundation in collaboration with Hued Songs.

Presented free to the public, as part of Miami Beach Arts in the Parks series. Simbios Art Corp's charming production of a Spanish-language play is designed for children of all ages, but especially those age 3 to 8. A musical work where songs, dance, acting, and clowning come together through theatrical language and multimedia. An aesthetic inspired by pop culture that awakens the imagination of the little ones, so that they learn to dream. It's bedtime, but little Luly has much more interesting things to occupy herself with. Her tired mother eagerly awaits the final task of the day: putting her daughter to sleep. Will she succeed? Between stories and songs, they both must conquer monsters, dangerous shadows, wayward sheep, and the enormous challenge of saying "see you tomorrow."

A Regional Premiere. Fresh from Broadway, this uproariously funny drama is a punishingly sharp satire of the oppressively progressive Eureka Day School in Berkeley, scones and militant inclusivity rule the weekly board meeting, where four self-consciously woke parents – led be a Rumi-reciting headmaster – can only act through strict consensus. But when a mumps outbreak forces the community to reconsider the school’s liberal vaccine policy, the board faces its worst nightmare: making a decision that won’t please absolutely everybody. Runtime: 1 hour and 40 minutes with no intermission

“A Double of Nofal” brings together two short plays by acclaimed Argentine playwright Rafael Nofal in a moving, contemporary, and deeply human theatrical experience. The first play tackles an urgent issue: drug use during adolescence and its impact on the life of a sensitive young man with a passion for literature. Through an honest and intimate lens, it invites reflection on the topic and on a therapist’s efforts to help him. In contrast, “Until the End of Days” immerses us in a luminous story about the enduring love between an elderly couple, and the special bond they share with their granddaughter—a young woman who dreams of following in her grandfather’s footsteps in the world of theater. Featuring performances by two young actors—a 20-year-old and an 18-year-old, both with theatrical training—this production resonates with younger audiences, who will see themselves reflected on stage. The staging blends visual elements such as projections and UV lighting, creating a modern aesthetic experience in the style of Antiheroes Project. This project is presented in partnership with Fantasy Theatre Factory at the Sandrell Rivers Theater and it is made possible with support from The Jorge M. Pérez Family Foundation at The Miami Foundation and the Miami-Dade County Department of Cultural Affairs and the Cultural Affairs Council, the Miami-Dade County Mayor, and Board of County Commissioners.

Kevin and the River Flan follows a young man whose accidental killing of a butterfly sends him on a surreal journey through family, spirituality, and self-discovery, where the line between life and death begins to blur. Infused with themes of guilt, cultural identity, and spirituality, the play reflects Urrutia’s Hispanic heritage and offers audiences a rich, thought-provoking theatrical experience. Performances of Kevin and the River Flan will run from May 2 through May 17, with evening performances on Thursdays, Fridays, and Saturdays at 8:00 PM, and Sunday matinees at 2:00 PM. This limited run offers audiences multiple opportunities to experience this unique and evocative production in Main Street Players’ intimate theater space in Miami Lakes.
