Protect the Arts. Protect Miami-Dade.
In her budget for the upcoming 2025-2026 fiscal year, Miami-Dade County Mayor Daniella Levine Cava proposes a 50% cut to grants funding to artists and arts organizations, as part of a plan to merge the department of Cultural Affairs into the Library Department.

This proposal would strip cultural funding, eliminate expert leadership dedicated to the arts, and put hundreds of small and mid-sized arts organizations at risk. This isn’t just about budgets-it’s about lives, livelihoods, and the identity of our community.

It isn't just about budgets -- it's about our community. Miami-Dade’s cultural sector generates over $2.1 billion in economic impact, supports 32,000 local jobs, attracts 22 million people as cultural tourists, and supports over 1000 arts groups.

How to Help:

1. Email the Mayor at [email protected].

2. Find and contact your county commissioner.

3. Share your story on how the arts impact your life and how this funding loss will impact you -- as a working theatre artist or theatre patron or loved one of a child in a theatre program.

4. Sign up for updates from the Arts Action Alliance of Miami-Dade.

5. Show up to budget hearings: Sept 4 & Sept 18, 111 NW 1st St, Miami.

And again, yet another review from Florida Theater On Stage: Area Stage Company’s current professional production is not your childhood Tarzan. Yet it is still the story and music you know and love — only now, the titular character might literally swing past you, mid-scene. This gripping immersive staging doesn’t ask for audience participation; however, it surrounds you with the world of the show. The result is a visceral experience that reimagines the jungle not just as a set, but as a space you physically inhabit. Directed by Giancarlo Rodaz. This is our fifth review in six days. Thanks are due in addition to our founders Wm F. Hirschman and Oline Cogdill, but our fine staff Aaron Krause, Mariah Reed, Raquel V. Reyes, writer, Britin Haller, Jan Sjostrom and Linda Hengerer . Also several news items coming next week. Read at floridatheateronstage.com

And another Florida Theater On Stage review (the third in a week and more coming) When assassin Charlotte Corday declares, “We are all in a play that someone else is writing,” we know we’re stepping into a world steeped in existential tension. We brace ourselves for big ideas—and Lauren Gunderson’s The Revolutionists delivers. But it also surprises, infusing sharp wit and heartfelt humility into its bold exploration of the human condition in crisis. Gunderson’s play running at Main Street Players through Aug. 3 unfolds in the heart of the French Revolution, just after King Louis XVI is brutally executed by the radical Jacobins and his family is thrown into captivity.
