ITP supports the special needs community by showing the general public what this community CAN do. This performance exemplified this commitment given by ITP. If you want to support a non profit, family owned, and giving the special needs community the opportunity to shine visit Area Stage Company. You will not be disappointed!

Families with children and/or friends on the autism spectrum who intend to enroll in the ITP…read more(Inclusive Theatre Program, now called Inspired Theatre Program) classes at Area Stage, please read below before moving forward. Our daughter, now a 9-year-old girl on the spectrum who loves art and music in an incredible way, started her journey with Area Stage in mid-2024 by taking private lessons with Annette, an amazing instructor at Area Stage. Under Annette's guidance and patience, our daughter improved tremendously and was able to perform in three showcases where she sang and danced alongside other children. This success did not come without challenges. Raising and supporting a child on the spectrum can be very difficult. From meltdowns and lack of attention to struggles with taking turns and stimming, families connected to autism understand these behaviors can be caused by many factors such as inflexibility or sensory overload, which are often misunderstood by neurotypical people as misbehavior or poor parenting. Fortunately, everywhere we have gone to help improve our daughter's behavior and skills, we have been blessed with people who truly understand autism and know how to support autistic children, just like Annette did. That changed on May 14th, 2026, when our daughter's instructor had an emergency and could not attend class, so a substitute instructor was assigned to the ITP class. Our daughter had a rough day during class and, as we were told, she was not following directions and was being disruptive. She was repeatedly told not to do certain things because they were "not allowed," as if that alone has ever been an effective way to regulate or support a child on the spectrum. Our daughter was in deep distress, as she often becomes when something triggers a shutdown. Her behavior escalated to the point that the Director of Inspired Theatre Project, Irma Becker, stepped in and told her she was misbehaving, that wh. This is a 1 hour class. Meanwhile, I, her father, was sitting outside waiting for the class to finish. Once the time was up, I approached the door where the children exit from, but no one came out. As I got closer, I heard, "So who's coming to pick up this child today?" To my surprise, it was Irma asking who was picking up my daughter. When I explained that I was her father, Irma approached me aggressively and explained that my daughter did not want to participate and that she was a "mean girl" who pushed her multiple times while she was trying to get her to follow directions. My daughter was listening to everything Irma was saying because they were standing next to each other. While Irma discussed my daughter's behavior with me, my daughter became even more overwhelmed, yelling and completely out of control. I told Irma that I would talk to my daughter later at home, but she continued escalating the situation. In the middle of the chaos, she told me that we needed to discuss next year's enrollment because of my daughter's behavior, although she still had to commit to participating in this year's showcase. I was speechless and asked, "Do you even know that my daughter is on the spectrum?" In response, Irma began listing her titles and degrees in behavioral therapy, completely contradicting herself through her own behavior. It is truly sad that someone like this could be in charge of a program such as this one. We formally contacted ownership via email to explain the situation, hoping to schedule a meeting, discuss possible solutions, and receive an apology. Instead, we were told that after conducting an investigation with the people present, ownership concluded that Irma never said anything inappropriate about our daughter. Additionally, our daughter was removed from the inclusive program entirely only two weeks before her showcase. During a call with ownership regarding our email, the owner himself told us that he believed the problem with our daughter was that she was "not used to hearing no." Imagine saying that about a child on the autism spectrum, as if simply hearing "no" were ever a solution for autism-related behaviors. This was coming from someone who has never spent even a second with our daughter, yet still felt comfortable giving an opinion about her behavior. What I see here is a major red flag. When someone reports misconduct, unethical behavior, or unprofessional conduct and their concerns are immediately dismissed or denied, it creates an environment where that behavior can continue unchecked and potentially lead to even more serious problems. It is like calling a police department to report misconduct by the chief of police, only for the person making the complaint to be punished for speaking up. Thank you for creating a program that helps so many students with special needs. I truly hope this experience serves as an opportunity for growth and improvement so the program can become even more inclusive moving forward.

Everything about this place was smaller scaled including the seats, the theaters, and restrooms. There weren't too many people so the small space didn't feel cramped or overcrowded. They seem to play movies on regular days and have a place where you can buy limited food and drinks. It can be a nice place to come to when you are visiting coral gables area but I wouldn't drive out of the way just to come here. They offer plenty of parking spaces if you park in the parking garage. Be prepared to walk across the street. The weather was extremely hot so make sure you aren't wearing layered clothing in the afternoon time. Wear well ventilated clothes, stay hydrated, and wear ton of sun screen. Congratulations little bro on your accomplishment! I am very proud of you and wish you nothing but the very best!

The plays here are in Spanish and there is no translations so you should be fluent (just in case). I am and I found it hard to keep up at times. We just saw Fresa y Chocolate and it was fantastic. It's a great way to do something cultural and support the arts in Miami.

I made a reservation here for my mother's birthday because I was recommended by a good friend of…read moremine. We were a bit early to our reservation so we had to wait outside for the restaurant to open. They had a nice outdoor seating area with ashtrays and umbrellas. Once the restaurant opened, we were immediately seated and our server was with us shortly. I don't remember her name but she was very sweet and spoke both English and Spanish, which is perfect because my mom only speaks Spanish. She was very courteous and asked if we were here for a specific occasion. I told her it was my mother's birthday and we were there celebrating. We ordered drinks and the steak bites, which were sitting in a gravy like sauce which was amazing. The steak by itself was also well seasoned and delicious. I had an apple martini which was excellent as well and comes with a maraschino cherry. My mother had a margarita which she also quite liked. She and my fiancée ordered the skirt steak and I ordered the chicken francese. The steak was very good, perfectly seasoned, perfect temperature, and juicy. Despite ordering it well done, my mother's steak wasn't chewy or burnt. My fiancée had the same skirt steak medium well which I believe to be the sweet spot. The fries are excellent and well seasoned too. At the end, we ordered a très leches dessert and the waitress asked the band to play a jazz version of happy birthday, which we did not ask her to do but it was such a kind gesture and a very tasteful touch! The très leches was to die for! And to double down, they brought out complimentary raspberry tea to finish us off. The whole experience was made unforgettable by the team and I will be recommending this place to the people I know in the future. Thank you so much!

Only needed one. Entree: Apollo's Famous Prime Burger. I liked the burger, however, there was a strong taste of whatever method is used to cook the burger. I cant quite out my finger on it. It came with fries. They didnt have ketchup, but provided me with a cilantro sauce which actually paired better with the fries. Dessert: Vice City Tres Leches: DELICIOUS. Be ware if you cant finish it. They dont have a good method of it being to go due to how it's served. I did ask for a to go box anyways lol. Maybe try the to go box and see if they have saran wrap. The leche will escape the box. After dinner: French tea. Served hot in the most beautiful tea pot. I drank it as is. The live Jazz music was a bonus. We really enjoyed the music. They even performed a Bruno Mars song. A time was had. The staff was attentive and knowledgable. No complaints th I will be going back.

WOW! Tucked into the warehouse district by The Falls, a theater. Intrigued, I purchased tickets online and headed for the show on a Friday night. Parking was easy. All the parking spots up front were taken but there were plenty of available spaces behind the building that involved a short walk. Upon entering, I was warmly greeted by someone that was sitting at a small table. She checked my name off the list and I then entered the small but intimate theatre. The decor was a bit like pieces found at a thrift shop which was actually fun and thought out. The audience seating by the stage were simple but comfortable. Sound and lighting was excellent. At intermission, I checked out the concession stand. The person running it was friendly and all items were reasonably priced. There was ample time to grab a snack along with proper warning before the show resumed. This theater is obviously put together with a great love of the performing arts. Glad I discovered it and wonder what took me so long..... In summary, this is a simple and fun theater where you can experience local shows with a lot of personality. I'll be back.
