Brévo Theatre, in partnership with The Roxy Theatre Group and with generous support from The Warten Foundation, will present the world premiere of Me & My Miami: The Musical in October.
This joyful, thought-provoking production is the latest installment in Brévo’s “Freshly Rooted” series and marks the evolution of a community-focused workshop production into a fully realized stage performance.
Me & My Miami makes its debut Oct. 2-12 (7:30 p.m. with weekend matinees at 2 p.m.) at the Westchester Cultural Arts Festival located at 7930 SW 40 St. (Bird Road).
Originally developed as a workshop in May 2024, Me & My Miami was written and directed by acclaimed theater artist Patdro Harris. The workshop was first presented at the African Heritage Cultural Arts Center and featured a talkback with the creative team. Community members were invited to engage with the material through interactive music, dance and dialogue, helping shape the final direction of the piece.
Now, the musical production returns with new vibrance and vision, ready to take center stage in its world premiere.
Set in the lively streets of Miami, Me & My Miami follows three teens — Rosa, Fuquan and Joseph — who are chosen to represent the best of the city’s youth at the Miami-Dade County Farmers Market Arts Festival. What begins as a celebration of international art and culture becomes a journey of personal discovery, as each performer reveals more than just their talent. Family secrets, personal truths and cultural pride collide in a kaleidoscope of music, dance and spoken word that’s both heartwarming and deeply resonant.
“This is a story about what makes Miami feel like home,” said T.M. Pride, co-founder and producing artistic director of Brévo Theatre. “The premiere honors where we started — with community input and authenticity — and brings it to the next level with bold performances and meaningful storytelling.”
Audiences can expect a lively, interactive experience full of Miami flavor, familiar rhythms and powerful new voices. Whether you are a longtime resident or a newcomer to the city, Me & My Miami is a celebration of belonging, healing and the voices that carry our culture forward.
With the support of the Miami-Dade County Department of Cultural Affairs, the Cultural Affairs Council, the Mayor, and the Miami-Dade County Commission.
