In rotation over 90 minutes, groups of 10 theatregoers will maintain social distance, listening through headphones while actors perform the short plays behind the windows of the vacant Lincoln Road storefronts. The production has been created with the support of the Lincoln Rd Business Improvement District and Mayor of Miami Beach Dan Gelber to help bring audiences and live performances back to the area that has been greatly affected by the ongoing pandemic.

Betty Buckley Releases New Video to Promote Social Justice
Tony winner and Texas native Betty Buckley (Cats, Sunset Boulevard) has released a powerful new video, in which she performs “For the Beauty of the Earth/Jesus Loves the Little Children” with the School of Arts and Enterprise Virtual Choir. The video was created to promote social justice, turn out voters in her home state, and solicit donations for the American Civil Liberties Union, Save the Children, Black Lives Matter, and Voto Latino.

Buckley says: “I grew up as a military brat on Air Force bases around the World. My father Ernest Buckley was a Major turned Lt. Colonel in the United States Air Force. Kids of every race and color were my classmates and our neighbors. When I was in the fifth grade, my father retired from the military, and we settled in Fort Worth, Texas. Every Sunday morning we went to the Methodist Church. I sang in the Youth Choir on Sunday evenings. 'For The Beauty Of The Earth' is one of my favorite, most beloved hymns. I learned 'Jesus Loves The Little Children' when I was very young at Vacation Bible School. It is my hope that via the remembrance of the simple truths contained in the beautiful music and lyrics of these two traditional hymns some persons will feel a call to a soul remembrance of Truth. And it is my hope that the gorgeous faces and voices of the Children of the School of Arts and Enterprise will touch hearts and minds to remember our connected humanity. These children, their teachers, and families did these recordings from their homes. Over 200 people have participated in creating this project. If this music and the images in this video touch one person, ten or one hundred, it will have been worth it.”

The LP features tunes from Great American Songbook, such as “It Had to Be You” and “S’Wonderful.” Named after Judy Garland, Whitmore co-founded the cabaret group Act Three with her brother Billy and her neighbor Lynn O'Hearn Wagner.
