South Florida's favorite holiday tradition is back! Mouse King: The Untold Story of The Nutcracker, the family-favorite musical created by Sesame Street veteran Noel MacNeal and award-winning composerJim Camacho, returns to the Mandelstam Theater this December with an all-new edition of the magically reimagined Nutcracker story.... told from the otherside of the battle.
Now in its twelfth year, "Mouse King" invites audiences to step into a whimsical world where the mice take center stage and the Nutcracker isn't quite the hero he's been made out to be.

Thinking Cap Theatre Presents Cymbeline
Saturday, Dec 13, 2025 at 7:00 PM - English
Dubbed Shakespeare’s “kitchen sink” play for its generic mashup of comedy, tragedy, history, and romance, CYMBELINE is a sweeping tale of love, betrayal, forgiveness, and the resilience of the human spirit. You’ll laugh, you’ll ponder, and maybe you'll shed a tear or two.
Show more >>
In one of Shakespeare’s final and most enchanting plays, lost children are found, innocence is tested, and broken bonds are healed. At the heart of the play is Imogen—one of Shakespeare’s most courageous heroines—whose unwavering integrity, intelligence, and grace guide the story toward its joyful and just conclusion. With forged letters, false accusations, mistaken identity, and rolling heads,
CYMBELINE reminds us that even in the face of darkness and deceit, truth, love, and humor can triumph in the end.

Man of La Mancha

- Written By Dale Wasserman
- Music By Mitch Leigh
- Lyrics By Joe Darion
Man of La Mancha, the musical that opened Actors’ Playhouse in its Kendall location and again at the Miracle Theatre returns to celebrate the company’s 30th anniversary at the Miracle Theatre! One of the world’s most popular and enduring musicals, Man of La Mancha is inspired by Miguel de Cervantes’ 17th-century masterpiece Don Quixote and set during the Spanish Inquisition. Cervantes, imprisoned and awaiting trial, leads his fellow inmates in a play-within-a-play that tells the story of Alonso Quijana, an aging man who imagines himself as the knight Don Quixote and sets out on a quest to right all wrongs in the world. Featuring a stirring, Spanish-inflected score with beloved songs like “The Impossible Dream,” “I, Don Quixote,” “Dulcinea,” “I Really Like Him,” and “Little Bird,” this five-time Tony Award-winning musical is a moving tribute to hope, imagination, and the power of dreams.
