Escape from Miami

Starting with a gruesome true-crime discovery in her backyard that would haunt her for decades, to being roofied then stalked by a machine gun-toting ex-boyfriend, a former journalist & runway model shares a darkly funny odyssey of growing up wild in the Miami fast lane with cocaine cowboys, rock stars and other dangerous wildlife! What starts off as an escape from an unhappy home spirals into an odyssey of close encounters on the dark side of the beach. This autobiographical 60-minute solo show by Moth storyteller, author, actor, and playwright Kim Smith vividly captures the mayhem and magic of growing up in Miami during the ’80s & ’90s, when it was the drug and modeling capital of the US. Raw, darkly funny, and ultimately hopeful, Escape from Miami traces her journey from trauma to transformation, and the healing power of finally telling the tale. Perfect for fans of bold autobiographical theatre, Fleabag, and intimate solo storytelling. Content Warning.
