The most honored American play in a generation won “Best Play” awards in London and New York, including Tony, Olivier, Drama Desk, Outer Critics Circle and Drama League awards. The play reimagines E.

How to Break in a Glove

Presented by City Theatre and Adrienne Arsht Center
By Chris Anthony Ferrer

February 5-22, 2026

In 1999 Miami, an 11-year-old boy clings to the fractured pieces of his Cuban-American family: an iron-willed grandfather, a devoted but weary grandmother, a father fighting for relevance and a mother torn between rebellion and responsibility. When a night of crisis unearths buried tensions, love and survival collide in a battle for connection, legacy and the desperate need to belong. As with a new baseball glove, they must break in their bonds, stretching, softening and learning to hold on before it’s too late.
