The Scene for February 7, 2014


Blink and you’ll miss it; this week’s Scene is out early enough to tell you about the Arts Garage Radio Theatre production of Casablanca tonight, Thursday February 6th, only. 
 
New Theatre and M Ensemble both open shows at the South Miami-Dade Cultural Arts Center – kudos to Eric Fliss for working with both companies to make this happen.
 
A lot of closings this weekend – if you haven’t caught Gablestage’s Anthony and Cleopatra, or Slow Burn’s Parade, or ONCE at the Arsht Center, or Boca Raton Theatre Guild’s Pippin, or Julie Johnson at Kutumba, or End of the Rainbow at Actors’ Playhouse, well, you might manage it if you double up on Saturday and Sunday.

But man, that’s a lot to cram in.
Here's what's playing on the scene this weekend:



opening...

  
New Theatre opens Visiting Hours at its new digs in the Lab Theatre at the South Miami-Dade Cultural Arts Center, through March 2nd.

The M Ensemble also opens its first play at the South Miami-Dade Cultural Arts Center, staging Knock Me A Kiss in SMDCAC’s Black Box Theater.
 
If you somehow managed to miss My Son The Waiter all those weekends it was playing at the Stage Door Theatre last year, you’re in luck.   Miami Stage Door Theatre brings Brad Zimmerman and his one-man-show back to the Byron Carlisle Theater through March 2.

Steve Solomon is at it again; he has a new one-man show, Steve Solomon’s Canoli, Latkes, & Guilt! The Therapy Continues…, playing at the Coral Springs Center for the Arts through February 16.
