"How to Break in a Glove" 

City Theatre

Opening Friday, Feb. 6, running through Sunday, Feb. 22

A world premiere play written by Chris Anthony Ferrer and developed through City Theatre's Homegrown playwright development program designed to give local writers the time, tools, and guidance to create new work. 

Miami, 1999. A boy grips a baseball glove like it’s the last solid thing in his life. Around him, three generations of family unravel and collide: an unyielding grandfather, a grandmother carrying the weight, a father desperate to matter, and a mother caught between rebellion and duty. One night changes everything. Secrets break open. Bonds are tested. Love is stretched thin. Like a baseball glove, they must stretch and soften to hold on.

Cost: $66.69 and $72.54 (includes fees)

"Sotto Voce" 

Gable Stage

Running through Sunday, Feb. 15

Written and directed by Pulitzer Prize winner Nilo Cruz (Anna in the Tropics), Sotto Voce is a lyrical meditation on memory, longing, and the legacy of the Holocaust. When a young Jewish-Cuban researcher’s obsession with the MS St. Louis leads him to an 80-year-old novelist who is still haunted by the love she lost aboard the doomed voyage, the line between memory and desire blurs. This is a haunting story of love, loss, and the voices that refuse to be forgotten.

Mindy Solomon Gallery

Exhibitions are running through Saturday, Feb. 28

• Ornella Pocetti and Marcelo Canevari: X Marks the Spot

Built as a shared fictional landscape, the exhibition brings together painting and sculptural elements to create a series of scenes that feel familiar at first glance, yet quietly unsettling. The “X” marks a metaphorical intersection: between two painters who have lived and worked together for over ten years, between different ways of building images, and between what is shown and what remains hidden.

• Zoe Schweiger: Sun-Kissed

Mindy Solomon is pleased to present the first solo exhibition of Zoe Schweiger at the gallery, Sun-Kissed, a love letter to Miami’s nightlife. Drawing from scenes at places such as Twist on South Beach and Willy’s, a beloved gay bar that recently closed in Wynwood, alongside longtime favorites

• Lanise Howard: In Aludria

Continuing with her tradition of masterful storytelling and graphic imagery, Howard explores a new body of work through an Afro-futurist lens. Afro-futurism is a cultural aesthetic and philosophy that blends African diasporic culture with science fiction, fantasy, and technology to reimagine the past, present, and future — fostering Black identity, liberation, and empowerment through art.
