Armour Dance Theatre presents The Nutcracker
2021-12-03 19:00 (America/New_York) | Miami-Dade County Auditorium, 2901 West Flagler St, Miami, FL, 33135, United States
Armour Dance Theatre’s Nutcracker ballet is more than a holiday tradition with familiar music. Students from all five Armour Dance Theatre sites start preparing for The Nutcracker in August, rehearsing weekly and learning the ropes of being in a large-scale, full-length ballet production.
The cast of over 140 includes New World School of the Arts students in the more advanced roles, along with world-class guest stars, guaranteeing both quality and a level of diversity not seen in other local productions of The Nutcracker. Our goal is to make certain all children in the audience see performers on stage who look like them.
Over 7,000 public schoolchildren experience this production annually. The region’s first Sensory-Friendly Nutcracker was launched by Armour Dance Theatre (formerly known as Thomas Armour Youth Ballet.) in 2013. Through this effort, Armour Dance Theatre has become a leader by the local arts community in making the arts accessible to all children.
This performance is part of our A Very Merry Holiday Season 2021 series.

"Marguerite" by Neher Jacqueline Briceño
2022-04-08 20:00 | MDCA On.Stage Black Box Theatre, 2901 West Flagler St, Miami, FL, 33135, United States
“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.
“Marguerite”, o las crónicas de una mujer dormida, forma parte de una trilogía de unipersonales que plantean diferentes posturas sobre las complejidades del amor y sus estragos, de los cuales ya su autora y actriz, Neher Jacqueline Briceno, pudo llevar a escena “Hablame del amor… y otras torturas” , con el cual gana el premio Escena de Miami 2019, como mejor Actriz.
