Live theater is returning to Main Street in Miami Lakes.
This summer and fall, the Main Street Players will present two plays.
It will also offer a summer theater camp for kids. The Children’s Theater Workshop is for campers ages 7 to 13, and runs for three weeks, from July 26th through August 13th.
Teacher Jeannette Martos-Galup will help develop students’ performance skills as they work together in an ensemble, the theater said.
Students will learn techniques for auditioning, acting, movement, technical elements and playwriting.
They will work together on a performance that will be presented on the last Friday of camp.
Classes will be held Mon- day through Friday, 9 a.m.
– 4 p.m. at the theater, 6766 Main St. in Miami Lakes.
The camp is limited to 18 students and costs $650.

On July 23rd, professional actors will take the stage for a premiere, 18 performances of “Wolf & Badger,” a drama by Michael John McGoldrick.
McGoldrick’s work placed second in the theater’s 2020 New Play Competition.
The story follows two brothers from an economically depressed town as one brother attempts to get out.
There is also a get rich quick scheme, and it all takes place during the opioid epidemic.
The 90-minute show will be performed Friday and Saturday nights at 8 p.m. and Sundays at 2 p.m.
Tickets are $30 for adults and $25 for seniors, students or military members and may be purchased on the website.
The theater’s second offering will be “Shakespeare is a White Supremacist,” by playwright and director Andrew Watring.
The play explores the experiences of people of color as they rehearse “A Midsummer Night’s Dream.”
It will run from Sept. 24th through Oct. 31st.
