Miami New Drama has garnered critical acclaim with their ambitious production of 7 Deadly Sins, an innovative, outdoor theatrical event presented from November through January in seven storefronts along Miami Beach’s historic Lincoln Road.
A diverse group of nationally recognized, award-winning playwrights Hilary Bettis, Nilo Cruz, Moisés Kaufman, Rogelio Martinez, Dael Orlandersmith, Carmen Pelaez and Aurin Squire premiere seven newly commissioned short plays, each focused on one deadly sin: Lust, Greed, Envy, Wrath, Sloth, Gluttony and Pride. In rotation over 90 minutes, small groups of theatergoers maintain social distance, listening through headphones while actors perform the short plays safely behind the windows of the transformed Lincoln Road storefronts.
7 Deadly Sins, created with the support of the Lincoln Rd Business Improvement District (LRBID) and Mayor of Miami Beach Dan Gelber, finds an innovative approach to bring audiences and live performances back to one of the world’s most famous commercial and pedestrian thoroughfares.

Bring a blanket, pack a picnic basket and arrive early to get a front row lawn seat as you enjoy cinema on the beautifully manicured grounds of SoundScape Park. Entering its eleventh season, the Cinema Series at SoundScape Park features free weekly movies curated by the City of Miami Beach Department of Tourism and Culture. The films are projected onto the 7,000 square foot projection wall of the New World Center through a striking use of visual and audio technology.
Nancy (Gabrielle Union), a divorced mother of three, feels especially lonely during the holidays. Sensing her sadness, Nancy's youngest daughter, Emily (Khail Bryant), has a plan to make her mom happy again. She asks Benjamin (Morris Chestnut), a department-store Santa Claus, to pay Nancy a compliment. Benjamin, who is also a struggling songwriter, knows exactly the right words to say.
