GableStage, the venerable Miami theater company at Coral Gables’ historic Biltmore Hotel, has released single tickets for its 26th season.
“We are preparing for an extraordinarily popular season,” said Jeff Potts, managing director.
“Because subscribers and groups have been reserving seats all summer, we already have a number of performances that are nearly sold out. If you want specific seats for a specific performance, book them early or become a subscriber.”
The season tips off with Pulitzer Prize finalist Rajiv Joseph’s King James (Nov. 1-24). In this comedy starring Melvin Huffnagle (August Wilson’s How I Learned What I Learned) and Gregg Weiner (The Price), two unlikely friends forge a bond over their love of “King” LeBron James. Set in Cleveland, these two men are brought together by their shared love for basketball, their city and their friendship.
Miami “born and made” director Ruben Carrazana directs King James. This Miami premiere shoots and scores!
Featuring 13 iconic songs, Both Sides Now: The Music and Lives of Joni Mitchell and Leonard Cohen (Dec. 13-Jan. 5) stars UM Frost School of Music alum and award-winning jazz vocalist Danielle Wertz and rock/folk musician Robbie Schaefer. After two sold out runs at Washington, DC’s Tony Award Winning Signature Theatre Company, Both Sides Now explores the short love affair and lifelong friendship of the two legendary musicians.
Wertz and Schaefer accompany themselves on piano and guitar in this regional premiere which include renditions of Big Yellow Taxi, Who by Fire, Hallelujah, and more.
Straight from its sold-out Broadway run, Appropriate (Jan. 31-Feb. 23) is the reigning Tony Award winner for Best Revival of a Play. Written by Pulitzer finalist and Obie Award winner Branden Jacobs-Jenkins, this darkly comic American drama invites audiences to one helluva family reunion.
Starring Rachel Burttram (A Doll’s House, Part 2), and Mark H. Dold (The Lehman Trilogy), this Miami premiere is described as “brilliant, blistering and outrageous” by The New York Times and is directed by GableStage’s producing artistic director Bari Newport.
A new play by David Auburn, the Pulitzer winning playwright of Proof, Summer, 1976 (Mar. 28-Apr. 20) playfully examines how small moments can change the course of one’s life. Set over one fateful summer during America’s Bicentennial, Summer, 1976 follows Diana, an artist and single mother, and Alice, a free-spirited and naive young housewife, who forge an unlikely friendship one night in Ohio.
Bari Newport (The Lehman Trilogy) directs Sara Morsey (The Year of Magical Thinking) and Patti Gardner (The Price) in this beautifully written “Beaches” for the stage.
Finally, in a historic three-way co-production, Brévo Theatre, Island City Stage and GableStage join to produce a Shakespearean-sized, Pulitzer Prize Winning comedy, Fat Ham (May 16-June 15). Swapping a Danish castle for a North Carolina barbecue, James Ijames reimagines Hamlet’s story of murder and revenge into something hilarious and profound.
This joyful, unforgettable South Florida premiere is made possible with major funding from the Warten Foundation.
In addition to these five season productions, the theater will produce a roster of still-to-be-announced special events. Stay tuned.
GableStage’s 26th season is made possible through major support from Knight Foundation, The Jorge M. Pérez Family Foundation at the Miami Foundation, Warten Foundation, the Biltmore Hotel, Miami-Dade County Department of Cultural Affairs and the Cultural Affairs Council and the Miami-Dade County Mayor and the Board of County Commissioners.
