The ALLIANCE THEATRE Lab announces its 5th Season--
Brothers Beckett, Fool for Love, and [title of show]
The ALLIANCE THEATRE Lab of Miami, Florida is proud to begin their 5th season with the World Premiere Production of Brothers Beckett by resident playwright and ensemble member David Michael Sirois. Kevin Beckett, Yale alumnus, is awaiting the arrival of his beloved girlfriend named Tuesday, who will be spending a perfect week with him and his roommate/brother, Brad. When Kevin divulges to Brad that he plans on proposing, Brad tries to find any way possible to keep his brother from moving out of their bunk-bedded, pink-walled studio apartment.
David Michael Sirois is a Connecticut-born theatre artist who currently resides in Florida, and is the resident playwright at the ALLIANCE THEATRE Lab. "Brothers Beckett is about codependency, miscommunication, and the dangers of building a life around a relationship and forgetting to live in the middle," says Sirois.
Don't miss this funny and touching production premiering on March 17th and running through April 3rd, 2011.
Fool for Love by Sam Shepard June 9th - 26th, 2011As Frank Rich wrote in the New York Times, ‘‘Fool for Love is a western for our time. We watch a pair of figurative gunslingers fight to the finish-not with bullets, but with piercing words that give ballast to the weight of a nation's buried dreams.'
The scene is a stark motel room at The Edge of the Mojave Desert. The action centers on the tormented, cursed, and sometimes explosive relationship between the disheveled young May, and the rough spoken bull rider, Eddie.
[title of show] Music and Lyrics by Jeff Bowen, Book by Hunter Bell

The ALLIANCE THEATRE Lab was founded by Adalberto Acevedo in 2001 as The Modern Stage. After three years of successful shows that included the South Florida premieres of Seascape with Sharks and Dancer by Don Nigro, Hellcab by Will Kern and Nocturne by Adam Rapp, the theatre took some time off to regroup, add new members, and refocus their mission statement. In 2005 the theatre resurfaced as The ALLIANCE THEATRE Lab, and went on to present critically acclaimed productions of Burn This by Lanford Wilson, Danny and the Deep Blue Sea by John Patrick Shanley, Sexual Perversity in Chicago by David Mamet and Orphans by Lyle Kessler. In 2009, The Alliance produced its first full season. Together, the new Alliance has refocused the company as an ensemble of theatre artists that focus on contemporary works that Provoke, Challenge and Engage the audience.
