Empire Stage hosts ArtBuzz Theatrics’ production of David Mamet’s tale of toxic masculinity, “Glengarry Glen Ross,” opening on Feb. 7 and running through Feb 23.
Based on Mamet’s own experience working in a real estate agency, the play depicts two days in the lives of four desperate Chicago real estate agents who are prepared to engage in any number of unethical, illegal acts — from lies and flattery to bribery, threats, intimidation, and burglary to sell real estate to unwitting prospective buyers.

THEATRE ON THE MOVE
“Lincoln Road Hustle,” Miami New Drama’s new immersive, site-specific play staged across Lincoln Road, in restaurants, shops, cafés, and public spaces is the talk of the town. The riveting action comes alive in this high-tech production as audiences move between secret locations, eavesdropping on real-time conversations that shouldn’t be overheard. At the center of it all is a major real estate deal: the groundbreaking of a casino set to transform Miami Beach, demolishing a block and altering the city’s fate. A Michelin-ready chef on the brink, an Instagram influencer, a judgmental mother-in-law, and a billion-dollar heist all collide in one explosive night. Will the casino rise, or sink into the Miami Beach sand?
This is a story as Miami as it gets — a wild, sexy chronicle of the city’s hungry, conniving characters. Lincoln Road Hustle that takes the drama experience to the next level. It’s a thrilling night you can’t watch on a screen. It turns Miami Beach’s one-of-a-kind street into an immersive theater experience. The production runs through Feb. 16. Go to miaminewdrama.org for tickets and more information.
