Miami actors and writers aren’t letting stay-at-home orders stop them from entertaining the masses.
They are presenting free play readings online through GableStage At The Biltmore.
Re-imagined as ENGAGE@GableStage, the program at 7 p.m. Fridays shows original works by local playwrights. The world premiere of these projects was made possible through a commissioning grant process.
