🎭 Meet the Writers of WHY THE DRAMA? LIVE!

Behind tomorrow’s live readings are three writers bringing bold, distinct stories to the room — from folk horror and class tension to a scrappy Miami production company trying to survive.

🩸 Michael Arcos & Yamil Rodriguez — BITING SUSAN
Set in 1991, a preteen boy’s final week with his best friend and first love spirals into an unhinged folk-horror adventure on their suburban cul-de-sac… culminating in one confused, impulsive bite.

🚬 David Hamzik — CIG
A day in the life of a young man struggling to settle down with a wealthy woman in hopes of escaping his lower-class life. His misery and bad attitude finally hit a boiling point—forcing him to confront his true nature.

🎞️ Scott Grainger — GRUB STREET
A small Miami film production company wants to change the world—but they’ve got to pay the bills, and they’ll take on any job they can get to keep the dream alive.
Come hear these scripts out loud at Why the Drama? LIVE! and celebrate the writers shaping South Florida storytelling.

🗓 Saturday, April 25th at 2:00 PM
📍 El Oro Theater at the Downtown Media Center
168 SE 1st Street, 4th Floor, Miami, FL 33131
