25 Jul
Summary
- Micro theater offers intimate audience engagement in small spaces.
- The festival celebrates Hispanic culture and local artistic talent.
- The event features five short plays, live music, and food vendors.
The Tallahassee Hispanic Theater is marking its tenth anniversary by hosting its ninth Annual Micro Theater Festival at Goodwood Museum & Gardens. This unique theatrical event immerses audiences in intimate settings, fostering direct interaction with performers. It is scheduled for August 7-9, 2026.
Sonia McNelis, instrumental in the theater's mission, will direct "From Mary to Mary," a monologue by Spanish playwright Paloma Pedrero. The festival will feature five short plays, presented in English, alongside live musical performances by Trio Siete Colinas and guitarist Charles Santiago.
Originating in Madrid, Spain, micro theater involves staging short plays in small, distinct spaces, allowing audiences to move between them. This format enhances the experience by eliminating separation between performers and attendees, promoting cultural understanding and shared appreciation.
The festival provides a platform for local artists, authors, directors, and musicians, aiming to bring the community together. Food from Venebites and Le Point Bakery will be available for purchase, making the event a social gathering.
