Tuesday, April 29 Opening Night
Greetings from Paradise
A love story to Coral Gables just in time for the city’s centennial anniversary, Greetings from Paradise is performed April 29 through May 3, sharing the beginning story of South Florida and the South Florida key players in the 1920s including Carl Fisher, George Merrick and Edward “Doc” Dammers. The story of early Miami and Coral Gables comes to life in the 80-minute, fast paced and entertaining one-act play written by playwright June Thomson Morris. As the granddaughter of Lucy Mae and Robert Thomson -- who the story is inspired by -- June heard the stories first-hand. Her subsequent research led to Greetings from Paradise, a true narrative that resonates 100 years later with warnings about lust, greed, land and where the insatiable desire for paradise on earth can lead.

One-in-eight Floridians went into uniform. Equally, Florida’s space on the planet made it central for both defensive and offensive strategies. Get details online.

Experience a contemporary re-imagining of Dr. Seuss at UM's Ring Theatre, weaving together many of his most famous stories and characters in unexpected ways. The musical creates the witty, wild and whimsical world of Dr. Seuss as it has never been seen before. When chaos erupts in the Jungle of Nool, it will take The Cat in the Hat, Horton the Elephant, Gertrude McFuzz and a gaggle of characters to bring harmony back to their world. The Tony Award-winning team of Ahrens and Flaherty has created a score that includes pop, gospel, blues and R & B. Get details online.
