The year is 2017. A hush falls over the audience as the lights dim in the Colony Theatre. But this is not just any performance. This is the inaugural season of Miami New Drama, a theatrical force about to shake things up. The Colony Theatre, with its beautifully preserved Art Deco elegance, has witnessed countless stories unfold on its stage since it first opened its doors. Now, it’s the beating heart of Miami New Drama, a company born from the vision of two men: Michel Hausmann, a playwright and director, and Moises Kaufman, a Tony Award winner. Miami New Drama, a resident company at the Colony Theatre, isn’t afraid to push boundaries. They’ve wowed audiences with thought-provoking productions like a multilingual “Our Town” and the American premiere of “Terror.” Their commitment to showcasing the multicultural tapestry of Miami is evident in works like “Confessions of a Cocaine Cowboy” and the vibrant “Viva la Parranda!”. Awards and accolades, like the Knight Arts Challenge Award and Miami New Times’ Best Theater for Drama, are testaments to their impact. The Colony Theatre isn’t just a venue; it’s a crucible where innovative storytelling meets the soul of Miami, leaving audiences breathless and wanting more.
