Nilo Cruz’s Hurricane Swirls With Unbridled Passion, Superb Craft
The tempest dies down, but the emotional tumult rages on in Nilo Cruz’s superbly staged world premiere of Hurricane, getting a criminally brief run at Arca Images in Miami.

But Naked Stage cofounders Katherine and Antonio Amadeo pledged the proceeds toward the medical expenses of theater supporter Dana Castelleno, who is in hospice with stage 4 cancer.
Miami Theater Center Delivers A Modern Day ‘Hedda Gabler’
