Rising Stars
New Theatre Company Presents Its Second
Production
By Jan Engoren
 |
|
|
Arturo Fernandez, Carlos Alayeto
and Arnaldo Carmouze, the cast of The Indian Wants the Bronx |
|
1968 – the year that rocked the world – was an
unforgettable year in American history. Sex, drugs and rock and roll. The
Vietnam War, flower power, sit-ins, Martin Luther King and Bobby Kennedy’s
assassinations. Peace, love and marijuana. Hippies, bell-bottoms and the
emergence of the civil rights movement.
That was also the year that an unknown actor named Al
Pacino won an Obie Award for his performance as Murph in his off-Broadway debut
in the one-act play The Indian Wants the Bronx by up-and-coming American
playwright Israel Horovitz. Horovitz also won an Obie award for Best New Play
and John Cazale (later of The Godfather) won Best Supporting Actor for
his role as the East Indian man, Gupta.
It is with this weighty history in mind that Ground Up &
Rising, a non-profit Miami theater company dedicated to fostering the arts in
South Florida, presents Israel Horovitz’s The Indian Wants the Bronx,
directed by Bechir Sylvain, and starring Arturo Fernandez, Arnaldo
Carmouze and Carlos Alayeto as the East Indian. |

A View from a Broad
Hurricane Preparedness
By Anna Collins
It’s that time of year again – time
to stock up on flashlights, umpteen boxes of “D” batteries (and a few “Cs” for
those “lonely” nights), time to restrain yourself from telling hack B.J.
jokes, and most importantly, time to stock the liquor cabinet.
That’s right folks, let’s give a warm round of applause to that recurring
yearly phenomenon that we hope will never perform for us again, give it up for –
The Hurricane! (groans, sighs and sounds of “ugh” from the
crowd).
God, I hate that part of living in Florida. But hurricanes are the tradeoff
we all pay for the advantages of living in the Sunshine State; beautiful
beaches, café con leche served at the local Shell station and being able to wear
a tube top in January, to name a few. |
