STAGED PLAY READINGS
FEAR UP HARSH – By Christopher Demos-Brown, Directed by Stuart Meltzer
February 28 @ 7:30 p.m.
Carnival Studio Theater (In the Ziff Ballet Opera House)
Adrienne Arsht Center.
Free tickets are available starting at 10 a.m. on day of performance, in-person only at the Arsht Center Box Office.
Zoetic Stage co-founders and 2012 Carbonell nominees Christopher Demos-Brown and Stuart Melzer team up with a cast of Miami’s best actors (including Todd Allen Durkin, Steve Anthony and Arielle Hoffman) to present a staged reading of this dramatic new work-in-progress. FEAR UP HARSH focuses on the process by which America's highest award for valour (The Congressional Medal of Honor) is given and, more broadly, how the entire concept of "awards" and "commendations" tends to skew our understanding of reality. "Fear Up Harsh" is a term used by the military to designate certain types of "enhanced interrogation" techniques that were legally sanctioned in the "global war on terror" post-9/11.
All performances are general admission. Tickets are available starting at 10 a.m. on day of performance, in-person only at the Arsht Center box office.

From the guys that brought you Brothers Beckett and Small Membership, a dark comedy about brothers with cancer. After the recent death of their father to cancer, the Merz brothers think it’s a good idea to get checked out, just in case. They soon learn that both of them have terminal cancer. TWO-MERZ is about how their family and loved ones deal with this incredibly bizarre and tragic news.

Originally shown as a work in progress at the Arsht Center in 2010 as part of the Miami Made Festival, GOOD, GOD, GO is a dance trio that asks: How much force is required to get the canary out of the coal mine? It is an exercise in energy, enthusiasm, and endurance. GOOD, GOD, GO features film, an installation of 50+ wooden canaries created by sculptor Laura Luna, a cappella singing in the dark, and a marching band.
