At Miami New Drama, we believe theater has a responsibility—not only to reflect the world, but to actively shape the conversations that define our time. Birthright is, without a doubt, one of the most urgent and significant world premieres we have ever produced.

The horrific events of October 7th and the bloody wars that followed sent shockwaves across the globe. They unleashed a surge of antisemitism and deepened fractures within the Jewish community—dividing friends, families, and generations.

A few weeks after October 7th, I called Jonathan Spector—one of the most fearless and thoughtful playwrights working today—and asked him to write something that could help us make sense of this new era. I knew that this was a moment for a true artist to step in and help us grapple with the complexity of what we were living through. My instinct was right: with Birthright, Jonathan has created a major work—bold, layered, and unflinching— that I believe will leave a lasting impact.

We are honored to be in the company of remarkable artists—director Teddy Bergman, whose deep humanity and creative brilliance have illuminated every corner of this play; a fearless, generous cast who have given their all; and a team of designers and technicians whose imagination and precision have built the world of Birthright from the ground up. Together, they have elevated Jonathan Spector’s searing, layered text into something unforgettable.

Birthright is part of our Y6K New Jewish Play Initiative, a long-term commitment by Miami New Drama to commission and produce at least one new world premiere each year that explores urgent questions of Jewish identity, history, and culture.

We are inviting you to join us on this journey—because Jewish identity is not a monolith. It contains multiplicity, contradiction, love, rage, memory, and hope. And because we believe theater is a space where all of that can be held, questioned, and shared.

Thank you for being here, and for supporting the arts.

HONORING CHRISTINE DOLEN The Heart of South Florida Theater

Christine Dolen was the glue that held South Florida’s theater scene together for decades. She championed this community with depth, fairness, and an unwavering commitment to professionalism.

When I first arrived in Miami over a decade ago, one of my first meetings was with Christine. I sought her wisdom as I embarked on forming a new theater company, and I quickly fell in love with her generosity, insight, and passion. She became a mentor, shaping both Miami New Drama and me as an artist.

Today, we celebrate Christine’s extraordinary legacy and mourn her passing. May we all strive to give back to this community, even a fraction of what she gave.
