​      ACTORS' PLAYHOUSE TO REOPEN ITS MAINSTAGE SERIES THIS                                      SUMMER WITH ¡FUÁCATA! OR A LATINA'S GUIDE

                                     TO SURVIVING THE UNIVERSE

 
       Actors’ Playhouse at the Miracle Theatre is proud to announce that it will reopen its Mainstage series this summer with ¡FUÁCATA! or A Latina’s Guide to Surviving the Universe, a humorous one-woman tour de force starring Elena María García. The production will play August 18 – September 12, 2021.

 
      Originally produced by Zoetic Stage in 2017, ¡FUÁCATA! brings more than 20 Latina women to glorious life on stage by weaving together tales of love, marriage, immigration, and identity through eccentric stories and whimsical song. A collaboration between Zoetic Stage artistic director Stuart Meltzer and highly celebrated, three-time Carbonell Award-winning Cuban-American actress Elena María García, ¡FUÁCATA! finds endless humor in what it means to be Latina in today’s America, where politicians speak of building walls while tourism booms in Havana.
 

     “Elena María García is one of the funniest actors that I’ve ever seen on stage, and I couldn’t have asked for a more resonant and hilarious show to reopen our Mainstage with,” said Actors’ Playhouse Artistic Director David Arisco. “We absolutely can’t wait to welcome guests back to the Miracle Theatre for our Mainstage productions after being shut down for more than a year due to the pandemic.”

      The creative team for ¡FUÁCATA! includes Scenic Design by Michael McKeever, Lighting Design by Rebecca Montero, Original Sound Design by Anton Church, and Production Stage Management by Amy Rauchwerger.

      This event is made possible with the support of Miami-Dade County Department of Cultural Affairs, the Cultural Affairs Council, and the Miami Dade County Mayor and Board of County Commissioners for Major Cultural Institutions, and is sponsored in part by the State of Florida, Department of State, Division of Arts and Culture and the Florida Council on Arts and Culture, with support of the City of Coral Gables, and the following sponsors: Azamara, Bacardi U.S.A., NBC 6 South Florida, Zeta 92.3 and WPBT2.

                                                              SARGE
                          A Wildly Entertaining Night of FUNdraising!
                                              Sunday, July 11, at 7 pm
 
          Marjorie Waldo, President & CEO of Arts Garage, today invited friends, supporters and fans of diverse art and culture programming, to the nonprofit organization’s first post-pandemic summer benefit:
Comedy for a Cause with SARGE - A Wildly Entertaining Night of FUNdraising!
 
         “Get ready for some much-needed laughter with a dynamic and hilarious performance by SARGE, who’s inimitable brand of music, stand-up comedy, and motivational speaking has captivated audiences from Radio City Music Hall to The Late Show with Craig Ferguson, from Major League Baseball’s All-Star Game to Iraq where he entertained the troops.
 
         “Having overcome addiction and homelessness in his formative years, SARGE now uses his talents to not only entertain, but to hopefully inspire and assist others in their daily struggles,” said Waldo. “Funds raised at this fun event will support Art Garage’s diverse events, education programs, and emerging artists exhibitions.”
 
          Scheduled for Sunday, June 11, at 7 pm, Comedy for a Cause with SARGE will include complimentary light bites, a drink from the cash bar, and the chance to enter a raffle to win $250 in scratch-off lottery tickets. VIP tickets are $75 each and include front row seating, and General Admission tickets are $50. They are available for purchase by calling the Box Office at 561-450-6357 or going online to 
www.ArtsGarage.org.
 
          About SARGE: An entertainer who has performed worldwide to adoring audiences of all ages, SARGE is much more than a comedian. He is a self-taught piano savant, an author and motivational speaker. His humor comes from a very personal place as his road to success was not a smooth one.
 
         After playing clubs and colleges all over America for three years, SARGE found himself opening for some of the biggest names in music, including Natalie Cole, Aretha Franklin, Paul Anka, The Beach Boys, The Four Tops, Taylor Dayne, Donna Summer and Wayne Newton, just to name a few. He also has worked on some of the biggest stages in show business, where  his ability to improvise and tailor his show to specific audiences is uncanny.
 
         Sarge is a highly sought after motivational speaker and for the last seven years has been working in treatment centers and recovery residences bringing a revolutionary and groundbreaking modality of “Comedy Therapy” to people suffering from addiction with incredible results.  Last year, his first comedy recovery film Sarge Behind Bars—shot  entirely on location of the Casper Wyoming Reentry Prison—place second at the “REEL Recovery Film Festival” in New York and Los Angeles.
 
         In 2017, Sarge released his autobiography and motivational book, Black Boychick, which traces his hilarious, inspirational life of twists and turns, ups and downs which will leave you exhilarated and entertained.
 
          Today, he is one of the highest energy, multi-talented acts to tour. Not only a hysterical stand-up comedian, but also SARGE sings in his own voice and in a dozen others including Harry Connick Jr., Sammy Davis Jr., Lionel Richie and Stevie Wonder. Additionally, his dead on impressions of Marv Albert, Mike Tyson, Kermit the Frog and Gilbert

Gottfried leave audiences howling and clamoring for more.

        Loxen Productions, in association with Loud and Live, bring you the award-winning musical In the Heights, a new production made for Miami by South Florida artists. 

        From the creator of Hamilton, Lin-Manuel Miranda’s In the Heights tells the universal story of a vibrant community in New York’s Washington Heights neighborhood, a place where the coffee from the corner bodega is light and sweet, the windows are always open and the breeze carries the rhythm of three generations of music.


         It’s a community on the brink of change, full of hopes, dreams and pressures, where the biggest struggles can be deciding which traditions you take with you and which ones you leave behind.

        In the Heights won the 2008 Tony Awards for Best Musical, Best Score, Best Choreography and Best Orchestrations.


        This performance, originally scheduled for May 8 - 9, 2020 and postponed to September 18 - 19, 2020, has been rescheduled to July

23 - 24, 2021. Orders placed for the previously scheduled dates will be honored. Ticket holder options are here.
