Jan. 12 (Thursday) at 8:00 pm. Anna in The Tropics (20th Anniversary Production). At Colony Theatre, 1040 Lincoln Road, Miami Beach, FL. 20 years after its original debut, Pulitzer prize-winning Anna in the Tropics comes back to Miami. Miami New Drama is preparing to roll out the red carpet on the 20th Anniversary! Written by Miami Playwright Nilo Cruz, it was commissioned by the New Theatre in Coral Gables back in 2002. Since then, the play has visited the world, including London, L.A., and Broadway, to name a few. After 20 years, Miami will not only get to see it at the Colony Theater, but this time, they’ll get to experience it with Nilo Cruz as its director for a three-week run between Jan. 12 through Feb. 5, 2023.
The audience will be transported back to 1929 to a Cuban American Cigar Factory, where Cuban migrants labored away hand rolling each cigar, as a hired “lector,” (reader) who was traditionally well-dressed and eloquent, would read to them as form of entertainment, when the new lector enters the scene and begins to read aloud, Tolstoy’s Anna Karenina, the unwittingly becomes a catalyst in the lives of his avid listeners and suddenly the lives of the workers begin to parallel the novel. Old traditions and new ways collide while longing, love and betrayal spark a volatile flame that signals the end of an era. Performances are scheduled Thursday through Saturday at 8:00 pm and Sundays at 3:00 pm. Tickets ($40-$70) are for sale. Info (305) 674-1040.
