ArtesMiami donated cash and publicity services to support English Only, a new play by Nicholas Griffin, produced by Miami New Drama at the Lincoln Road Colony Theater, from January 29th to February 20, 2026. The play occurs in Miami in the 1980s.

As described by Miami New Theater, “The streets are tense, the airwaves are burning, and the fight for the soul of the city has begun. Based on explosive true events, English Only unfolds in the wake of the Mariel Boatlift, when 125,000 new arrivals to South Florida ignited a fierce grassroots campaign to make English the county’s sole language—sparking a showdown with activists determined to keep Miami-Dade bilingual. A gripping, high-stakes portrait of a city—and a country—at a crossroads.”
