Miami is known for the night life and trendy vibe, with
great beaches and social atmosphere, but also for the arts and culture of the
city. Places like Wynwood, Lincoln road, South Beach and Art Deco District,
just to name a few, makes the city a beautiful and artistic contemporary cultural
hub. There is a hidden place, that
mostly locals know, and you should add it to your list of “must do’s” in Miami,
this is the Micro Theater of Miami.
Following the tiny home movements, the place is a venue of
several small theaters that reaches a maximum capacity of up to 15 spectators per
showing and the show runs for 10 to 15 minutes.
The several theaters are shipping containers painted with stylish and
fashionable arts and graphics that give a hip and sophisticated vibe. After the show, you can socialize in an
outdoor bar with a garden atmosphere and enjoy drinks, as well as food, until
you wait for another show. The company describes it as “A constellation of
actors that present great texts all year round..”
The Micro Theater Miami is done with the Knight Foundation
and the CCEMiami (The Spanish Cultural Center), so most of the shows are in Spanish,
but there are some English show alternatives. The theater has the option of “Primetime,”
7 plays in scene and 6 showing of each from Thursday through Saturday, from
8p.m. to 11p.m. The second option is for “Golfa” or more late night showings
and a excellent night life, with 6 plays in scene and showing from 11p.m. to
1a.m. Fridays to Saturdays, and Sundays from 7p.m. to 10 a.m.
Benefits of assisting these performances are that you don’t know which famous actors can appear or come out of this theater. Because of the high production of telenovelas in Miami, there are a lot of the actors that take Micro Theater Miami as a hobby or a way to exercise their talents, and keep enhancing their performance in acting. As a spectator you will be surprised to see some recognized talents from Spanish television.
The place is located in 1490 Biscayne Blvd. in the downtown area of Miami. Check out their current shows and their description at www.microtheatermiami.com
