Highlights include:
Miami New Drama: 7 Deadly Sins
Miami New Drama is adapting to the times, producing 7 Deadly Sins, “an outdoor, socially distanced and sinfully-safe theatrical experience.” 7 Deadly Sins opened November 27 across seven Lincoln Road storefronts. Nationally recognized, award-winning playwrights were commissioned for short plays, each focused on one deadly sin: Lust, Greed, Envy, Wrath, Sloth, Gluttony and Pride. 90 minutes total, audience members will be seated outdoors, socially distanced with headphones while actors perform behind storefront windows. Masks required. Runs through January 3. For more information and tickets, click here.
Oolite Arts: Support local artists through the Oolite Arts’ Pop-Up Exhibition “MATERIALIZE.” All works are for sale and all proceeds go directly to the artists. Ranging from $1 to $250 with select works above $1,000, the curated exhibit includes photographs, prints, zines, books, clothing, jewelry, sculpture and face masks, all created by local artists. The exhibition “materializes” an empty storefront at 928 Lincoln Road. Works are for sale in person in a socially distanced environment and also online starting November 28 at www.oolitearts.org/materialize. Lincoln Road hours, noon to 8:00 pm from November 28 through December 6.
The Sagamore Hotel: During Art Week, in addition to exhibits throughout the property, The Sagamore will feature galleries in their iconic bungalows for the first time.
