Ernesto and Sandra García are dreamers who have learned, of necessity, how to transform creative ideas into reality with very little money. Since winning a visa lottery that brought them to Miami from Cuba in 1995, the Garcías have started a clearinghouse website for Spanish-language theater worldwide, created their Teatro en Miami Studio above a Little Havana tire shop and, in 2010, launched a festival to celebrate made-in-Miami theater en español.
Not that any of this has been easy. Playwright and director Ernesto García, whose Drume negrita will have its world premiere on Friday, is usually as determined as his optimistic wife. But he does admit that sometimes, on his darkest days, “I feel that I am plowing in the ocean.”

Young troupe takes on Italian classic (The Miami Herald )

BY ANTONIO ORLANDO RODRIGUEZ Special to The Miami Herald Así es (si así os parece) -- So It Is (If You Think So) -- an ingenious parable about the nature of truth and mankind's curiosity, is among the best-known creations of Italian playwright Luigi Pirandello.

Cristobalillos Mesiánicos

Por Ernesto García. En el teatro, como en otras realidades de la vida, aparecen de cuando en cuando, los Cristobalillos Mesiánicos. Ese ser que se cree esperado por una multitud deseosa de sus grandes, históricos y profundos cambios en la vida, ideología y el arte. Un Jesús del pensamiento religioso, un Cristóbal Colón en lo marítimo y en lo imperial. En el teatro, estos seres llegan, con grandes e imponentes discursos (que ni son grandes ni imponentes), para indicar su advenimiento. Su llegada a esta tierra baldía que espera por su gran talento (reconocido solo por ellos) . Primero anuncian el paraje yermo, el “desierto cultural” de Miami, luego traen bajo el brazo la tabla de Moisés y sus nuevos mandamientos que finalmente harán que la ciudad cambié para siempre. Algunos son de una extirpe de “agitadores”, arman en unas cuantas semanas todo un movimiento que muchas veces la prensa refleja. El Critobalillo es un ser hábil, sabe hacer más con menos, apenas ni teatro ha hecho pero se l...
