In A World Silenced by Fear, Her Truth was Unstoppable.
Journalist Anna Politkovskaya risked everything to speak the truth. As an unflinching, independent voice for the Russian people, her fearless reporting exposed injustice, brutality, and corruption placing her life in constant danger. Though she was ultimately silenced, her voice endures. Anna Politkovskaya's legacy lives on as a powerful testament to the courage of journalism and a stark reminder of the deadly risks faced by those who refuse to look away. Her story demands vigilance, reminding us that the right to report the truth must be defended at any cost.

From Venezuela to the American Southwest - All Soul's Episcopal Church
Saturday, Feb 21, 2026 from 2:00 PM to 3:30 PM - English
Carreño String Quartet in B minor (1896), Beach String Quartet in One Movement, Op. 89 (1921),
Jerod Impichchaachaaha’ Tate Pisachi (Reveal) (2013)
María Teresa Carreño García (1853-1917) was a Venezuelan pianist, soprano, composer, and conductor. Over the course of her 54-year concert career, she became an internationally renowned virtuoso pianist and was often referred to as the "Valkyrie of the Piano". She frequently performed the works of Norwegian composer and pianist Edvard Grieg (1843–1907). Carreño composed approximately 75 works for solo piano, voice and piano, choir and orchestra, and instrumental ensemble.
Amy Beach (1867-1944) was an American composer and pianist. She was the first successful American female composer of large-scale art music. Her "Gaelic" Symphony, premiered by the Boston Symphony Orchestra in 1896, was the first symphony composed and published by an American woman. She was one of the first American composers to succeed without the benefit of European training, and one of the most respected and acclaimed American composers of her era.
Jerod Impichchaachaaha' Tate (born 1968) is a Chickasaw classical composer and pianist. His compositions are inspired by North American Indian history, culture and ethos. Tate has had several commissioned works, which have been performed by major orchestras in Washington, DC; San Francisco, Detroit, and Minneapolis. When the San Francisco Symphony Chorus performed and recorded his work Iholba' in 2008, it was the first time the chorus had sung any work in Chickasaw or any American Indian language. His Metropolitan Museum of Art commission, Pisachi (Reveal), is featured on ETHEL String Quartet's album Documerica.

Inspired by Shakespeare's King Lear, this contemporary reimagining explores the collapse of patriarchal power through the King's fractured memory. As time stalls and repeats, conflicts and the cost of power resurface, with the jester emerging as a truth-teller whose voice can no longer be silenced.

English Only
Saturday, Feb 21, 2026 at 12:00 AM - English
A battle over language that reshaped a city. Miami New Drama presents the World Premiere of English Only from January 29 to February 22, 2026, at the Colony Theatre. This is a gripping portrait of Miami at a cultural and political breaking point.
Show more >>
Set in 1980 Miami, the theatrical production of English Only unfolds in the turbulent aftermath of the Mariel Boatlift, when more than 125,000 Cuban refugees arrived on South Florida’s shores, reshaping the region overnight and igniting a fierce political battle over identity, language, and belonging. As tensions mounted, a grassroots movement emerged to make English the county’s sole official language, sparking a heated showdown with activists fighting to preserve Miami-Dade’s bilingual future. The newly formed grassroots group, Citizens of Dade United, led by Emmy Shafer, launched a campaign designed to end the county’s official bilingual policies and remove Spanish from government documents, communications, and civic life. Standing in opposition was young attorney Manny Diaz of the Spanish American League Against Discrimination, who recognized that this was not just a symbolic gesture but a direct attempt to reshape political power, civil rights, and the identity of a city transformed by immigration and fear.
English Only is the first theatrical work to dramatize a ballot initiative to remove Spanish as the official language, offering a gripping, human portrait of a city at a crossroads. As Miami reemerges at the forefront of national conversations, the moment feels especially meaningful. “This is a story about power, fear, and the fight to be heard,” says Nicholas Griffin, journalist, author, and playwright whose work, including Dangerous Days, has long explored the forces that shape Miami. When Miami New Drama’s artistic director, Michel Hausmann, came to Griffin, he was immediately attracted to the idea. “The debates at the heart of English Only are not relics of the past. They are the very conversations shaping Miami today,” says Michel Hausmann. “The chance to illuminate a defining moment in Miami’s history, with all its tension and humanity, was impossible to pass up.”
The remarkable cast bringing English Only to life on the Colony Theatre stage is led by Andhy Mendez as Manny Diaz; the ensemble also features Rene Granado, Carmen Pelaez, Linda Mugleston, and Laura Faye Smith as Emmy Shafer, along with an outstanding supporting company. Together, this group of actors delivers depth and emotional clarity to Nicholas Griffin’s world premiere, creating performances that feel both intimate and urgently of the moment.
This production continues the Miami History series that Miami New Drama has undertaken in recent years, which brings pivotal moments from our community to the stage, including Elián, Dangerous Days, and Confessions of a Cocaine Cowboy.
WHEN: Dates: January 29 - February 22, 2026
WHERE: The Colony Theatre, 1040 Lincoln Road, Miami Beach, FL
SHOW DATE & TIMES: Thursday - Saturday at 8 p.m., Sunday at 3 p.m.
