Give Miami Day is November 19, 2026

 

Give Miami Day is the Miami Foundation’s annual day of giving, and the biggest fundraising day of the year for City Theatre. Early giving opens November 14, and every gift of $25 or more counts.

 

City Theatre is a professional theater company founded in Miami in 1996, now in its 31st season. Best known for the short play format, City Theatre brings its programming to audiences across Miami-Dade County. Nearly everything we do is free to attend. Last season we reached more than 8,000 people and employed over 200 artists and arts professionals.

 

Your Give Miami Day gift to City Theatre supports:

 

• THE SHORT CUTS TOUR, which brings four ten-minute plays and a talkback to Miami-Dade middle schools free of charge. In 2025-26, Short Cuts reached 3,189 students at 19 schools.

• HOMEGROWN, our season-long development program for Miami playwrights, whose next world premiere, Liberty City Vignettes, opens in March 2027.

• CITY READS, our free short play reading series presented at venues throughout South Florida.

• SUMMER SHORTS, our annual short play festival, every June.

• SUSAN J. WESTFALL NATIONAL SHORT PLAYWRITING CONTEST which acknowledges excellence in the short play format.

 

Donations directly support the plays, the writers, and the actors who perform them.
