"The Golem of Havana" Play Seeks Young Talent
ONLY LOCAL TALENT WILL BE CONSIDERED. Seeking young talent for "The Golem of Havana" play. See the details below. About the project: Miami New Drama's biggest celebration of the year. A revolution of our own, marking the highly anticipated return of the very first production Miami New Drama ever staged at the Colony Theatre. A Holocaust survivor's family. An Afro-Cuban housekeeper who prays to the sea. A wounded revolutionary hiding in the back room. And a teenage girl who believes a comic-book monster can save them all. Set in late-1950s Havana, The Golem of Havana follows Rebecca, a young Jewish girl who turns to a mythical protector of Jewish folklore — the Golem — as her family navigates poverty, political unrest, and the electric final days of the Batista regime. When she's drawn into the orbit of Teo, a young revolutionary, myth and reality collide. The Golem of Havana throws Jewish legend and Cuban revolution onto the same stage and lets them ignite, in a musical that moves from klezmer to mambo to bolero without ever stopping to breathe. Funny, ferocious, and heartbreaking, it asks the question every exile carries: when no savior comes, who will you choose to be?
