Adam Chanler-Berat, Rebecca Naomi Jones and More Set for The District Stage Company's BROADWAY UNPLUGGED
The District Stage Company will present Broadway Unplugged, described as an evening packed with songs from electrifying shows to hit the Great White Way in recent decades, with Broadway stars Rebecca Naomi Jones, Adam Chanler-Berat, Matt Caplan and Andy Señor Jr., under the musical direction of Jared Stein, with special guest Matt Nakoa, for three performances only on Friday, March 29 at 8:30 PM, and Saturday, March 30 at 8:30 PM and 10:30 PM at South Miami Dade Cultural Arts Center, 10950 SW 211 Street in Cutler Bay, FL.
"I love living and working in New York City, but it's always been a dream of mine to bring Broadway home to Miami. As a result, I founded The District Stage Company last year with other Miami natives working on Broadway," says District Stage Company's Artistic Director Andy Señor Jr. "I have developed such rich relationships in the Broadway community over the many years and I'm excited to create events in Miami that feature Broadway talent and turn up the heat in the South Florida Theatre scene."
Preceding Broadway Unplugged, Florida International University Theatre will be hosting "Inside Scoop," a talk-back in which these Broadway professionals will discuss career development, their experiences, and offer an insider's perspective of Broadway. Students, alumni, faculty, staff, and invited guests will have the opportunity to interact with and learn from the invited artists. This exclusive event will take place Thursday, March 28, 2013 at 3:30PM at FIU's Nicole & Herbert Wertheim Performing Arts Center Blackbox Theatre. Call 305-348-2895 to RSVP.
Broadway Unplugged is one of The District Stage Company's first events in South Florida. Last year they also produced "Broadway Songbook" featuring Janet Dacall (In the Heights) and Henry Gainza (4 Guys Named Jose).
Tickets are $25 in advance and $30 on the day of the show. Parking is free. All performances take place in the intimate Black Box Theater at South Miami Dade Cultural Arts Center, with food and drinks available for purchase. The Cabaret series is sponsored by Mercedes-Benz of Cutler Bay and The Freehand Hotel in South Beach.
