Gloria at Gables Stage
This 2016 Pulitzer Prize for Drama Finalist takes place in the offices of a notorious Manhattan magazine. A group of ruthless editorial assistants vie for their bosses’ jobs and a book deal before they’re thirty. This sharp-witted play brilliantly questions the dark side of artistic ambition, modern workplace trauma and the striking commonality of exploitation as a commercial enterprise in popular culture. GableStage is located at the Biltmore Hotel, 1200 Anastasia Ave. Call 305-445-1119. http://www.gablestage.org

The Pirates of Penzance at Ring Theatre

Frederic has earned his dues as the pirates’ apprentice waiting to be promoted to full pirate-dom on his 21st birthday, but upon discovery that he is a leap year baby born on February 29th, it seems he may never get the chance. One of Gilbert and Sullivan’s most famous works, gets a fresh interpretation on the Ring stage. Call 305-284-3355. http://www.as.miami.edu/ringtheatre/current-season/
