Preview performances will be held on Friday, July 27 ^th and Saturday, July 28^th at 8 PM.

 

"We are very excited to bring our biggest production to date, The Basic Training of Pavlo Hummel, to the Miami Dade College stage ," said Jose Terrier, Marketing Director for Ground Up & Rising. "We feel this show is not only a reflection of our diversity, as shown by the melting pot cast, but also a sign of our passion and artistic ambition."

 

The Basic Training of Pavlo Hummel is an epic play set during the Vietnam era that follows a naïve recruit's path through the war abroad and the war back home. Hummel is an impressionable young man who joins the United States Army and immediately encounters difficulties with both his sergeants and fellow recruits, none of whom trust him. As he stumbles through basic training and closer to the battlefield, he is guided by Ardell, a mysteriously ambiguous character who is seemingly an officer but serves as Hummel's conscience and guide to the baffling world around him. The play feels like a fever dream as the line between the chaos abroad and the turmoil back home becomes nearly indistinguishable.  

 

Co-directed by Carlos Alayeto and Arturo Fernandez, Ground Up & Rising's production of The Basic Training of Pavlo Hummel stars an ensemble cast including Arturo Fernandez, Sheaun McKinney and more. The Basic Training of Pavlo Hummel will be produced in association with the Miami-Dade County Cultural Affairs, the Board of County Commissioners, and Miami-Dade College.
