New Theatre Partners With The Humanity Project To Aid Desperate Haitians
New Theatre of Coral Gables will raise funds throughout the run of its world premiere play, The Hour of the Tiger, to aid Haiti earthquake relief efforts. Audience donations will be requested by the actors following each performance.
The donations will be collected through New Theatre's partner in this effort, the Humanity Project, a South Florida-based 501c3 nonprofit group. The Humanity Project will ensure that every dollar is carefully accounted for and turned over to the Red Cross, Doctors Without Borders or the Salvation Army - and that all money is dedicated solely to humanitarian relief for Haitians suffering in the earthquake's terrible aftermath.
World Premiere - 'The Hour Of The Tiger'
New Theatre presents South Florida playwright and historian Sandra Riley's World Premiere of The Hour of the Tiger, where two women from different worlds struggle against tradition to find personal and artistic freedom. This production marks Sandra Riley's first play produced at New Theatre. Sandra Riley began her career fifty years ago as a drama teacher in Miami and director of plays at the Barn Theater in Miami Lakes, and Player's Theater in Coconut Grove. In 1972, she worked on an Army Base in Japan teaching and directing at the Base Theater.
