Join us for an exciting evening at the Actors’ Playhouse @ the Miracle Theatre on April 4th in Coral Gables. We are proud to offer tickets to the legendary Pulitzer Prize-winning Tony Kushner’s Tony-nominated musical, “Caroline, or Change”. Set in 1963 Louisiana, Caroline, Or Change is a provocative story of political and social change during one of the most pivotal times in American history. The show is riveting and moving with music written by Broadway composer Jeanine Tesori with blues, gospel, and beautiful Klezmer Jewish melodies woven into the fabric of the story.
A happy hour will precede the curtain opening at 6:30 PM and refreshments will be available for purchase. The play will then start promptly at 8:00 PM.
Proceeds from ticket sales will benefit the Miami Center for Racial Justice, and help us continue in our mission to preserve Black History in Florida.
