The heir apparent to a Miami political dynasty, Carolina Clarens, is the seemingly perfect candidate to be the next mayor. The only problem is…nobody likes her. Why? She’s an arrogantly honest candidate whose scorched earth style rattles the city’s political power players. She is tanking in the polls. Enter Alex, the slick D.C. political consultant tasked with smoothing out her edges and getting her the unpredictable Cuban Vote. Based on Shakespeare’s The Taming of the Shrew, The Cuban Vote draws you into the middle of Carolina and Alex’s quest for the Miami Mayorship…and each other. A romantic political comedy that can only happen in Miami, turns into tremendo arroz con mango and all for the coveted Cuban vote. They say all is fair in love and war, but nothing is fair in love and politics. A world-premiere play by Carmen Pelaez (Miami New Drama’s Fake and 7 Deadly Sins), directed by Loretta Greco (New York premieres of The Story, Lackawanna Blues, Two Sisters and a Piano – The Public/NYSF).

Makuyeika uses keen, artistic sensibility to address themes of great social, cultural, and human value that create original narratives and theatricalities of Mexicos indigenous people. Makuyeika means wayfarer in the language of the Wixarika people and was formed, as part of a Julie Taymor World Theatre Fellowship project. Andares (Pathways) centers on the lives of indigenous youths in Mexico, devised collectively through personal anecdotes, ancestral myths, as well as traditional music and art forms. The play shines light on a range of realities; land usurpation, widespread violence, ancestral duties, and community resistance that indigenous people face at the crossroads of modern life and tradition. Andares is a genuine, eye-opening, and intimate close-up on Mexico's most remote corners and the extraordinary stories of its humble, everyday inhabitants.

"Marguerite", o las crónicas de una mujer dormida, es un espectáculo concebido con música y cantantes en vivo para acompañar el peculiar viaje de una mujer que, en medio de alucinaciones, confunde a los espectadores con periodistas y les comparte información sobre su vida y su pasión: la radio y las radioescuchas, mujeres que en horas de la madrugada se conectan a su programa para recibir consejos de cómo sobrevivir al desamor, a la violencia y la soledad. Al ser despedida por la emisora, se multiplica el número de seguidoras que reclaman su presencia mientras ella se debate entre despertar o no de una sobredosis con somníferos por perder su trabajo y a su amante francés, un misterioso desconocido que desestabiliza su precaria existencia. Desde una cama, de la cual no tiene el valor de bajarse, Marguerite contesta a todas las preguntas y confirma la presencia de esa multitud de mujeres que la aclaman y transforman en una influencer sin ella tener conciencia de ello.
