Opera Meets Zarzuela brings together two compelling stories of courage, community, and the complexities of love. Presented by The Opera Atelier, Inc., the program features Juana Inés, an opera inspired by the life of trailblazing 17th-century nun, poet, and intellectual Sor Juana Inés de la Cruz as she struggles to reconcile her religious vocation with her passion for writing and learning. The program continues with La Revoltosa, a lively zarzuela reimagined within a New York City immigrant community, where the joys, rivalries, and misunderstandings of everyday romance unfold through spirited music and theatrical flair.

Blending opera’s dramatic power with zarzuela’s warmth and vitality, this collaboration between The Opera Atelier and La Zarzuela, Inc. celebrates rich cultural traditions while bringing fresh relevance to timeless human experiences.

Step into a world of ambition, obsession, and horror in FRANKENSTEIN, a gripping stage adaptation of Mary Shelley’s timeless gothic classic.

Within the shadowy halls of the Frankenstein estate in Geneva, Switzerland, brilliant young scientist Victor Frankenstein becomes consumed by his desire to unlock the secrets of life itself. But when his experiment succeeds, Victor creates something far beyond his control—a creature assembled from the remains of the dead and brought terrifyingly to life.

As Victor struggles with the consequences of his creation, the boundary between creator and creature begins to blur. What follows is a haunting journey through fear, revenge, love, and the devastating consequences of playing God.

Directed by Frankie Navarro of MagicArts Studios and produced by Katherine Rubio of Seminole Theatre, this gothic production brings Frankenstein’s story to the stage through an immersive theatrical experience featuring dramatic special effects, fog, strobe lighting, and powerful sound.

Victor created the monster. But who is truly the monster?

Join us at Seminole Theatre in Homestead, Florida, for two unforgettable performances of FRANKENSTEIN on October 16 and 17, 2026.

Mary Shelley’s timeless gothic classic

IN THE HEIGHTS features music and lyrics by Lin-Manuel Miranda and a book by Quiara Alegría Hudes, conceived by Lin-Manuel Miranda. This Tony Award–winning musical tells the vibrant story of a close-knit community in New York's Washington Heights, where the coffee from the corner bodega is light and sweet, the windows are always open, and the streets pulse with the sounds of three generations of music.

As the neighborhood stands on the brink of change, its residents chase dreams, face challenges, and discover what it truly means to call a place home. Filled with infectious Latin rhythms, powerful storytelling, and unforgettable characters, In the Heights celebrates culture, family, and the courage to hold onto the traditions that shape us while embracing the future ahead.
