As we rummage through life filled with all its nuances and trinity; and yes some intervals bridge-building and productive periods. We reminisce about the past, where we are now; and even (for some, thank God!) Where are we going? And what will become of us?! This very thought – is mastered in The Pelican Playhouse production and celebration of “The Clothesline.” A tribute event to the 100 year centennial of the City Of Miami Springs.”Miami Springs” performed at the Rebecca Sosa Theater. September 4th-13th. The playhouse, now 27 years young, was founded by Ralph Wakefield & Nancy Llones Circa 1999. Wakefield himself an Emmy recipient, has play written the script. (parlayed by some as the unfinished symphony.)
The production by Decade Parses. The ordinary lives of the people with local and world events. Of Curtiss’s fledging city on the river. It showcases it all. Brilliantly in our own backyards. Around the clothesline, hanging loads of wash. Co-directed by Sam Chesser and heir apparent Jorge Calil. This two-part adaptation, represents the most eloquent toast of the City of Miami Springs. In the year of her centennial.
“Clothesline” makes us laugh, it makes us reminice, it makes us wonder, and above all, it makes us proud to live in (as councilwoman Jennifer Ator coined.) “In the heart of it all”
