Winner! Two Tony Awards, Two Drama Desk Award, Eight Outer Critics Circle Awards, and a Grammy Award for Best Musical Theater Album.

Alanis Morissette’s Jagged Little Pill: The Musical is an exhilarating new musical inspired by the themes and raw emotions laid bare in Alanis Morissette’s seminal album of the same name. The Healys appear to be a picture-perfect suburban family – but looks can be deceiving. When the cracks beneath the surface begin to show, they must choose between maintaining the status quo or facing harsh truths about themselves, their community and the world around them.

This show contains strong language, adult themes, drug use, and moments of sexual violence that some might find upsetting.

FAB Grantee Program: NSU Art Museum Presents: Frantz Zéphirin: The Messenger
2026-06-27 12:00 - 17:00, 2026-06-28 12:00 - 17:00, 2026-06-30 12:00 - 17:00, 2026-07-01 12:00 - 17:00 UTC | NSU Art Museum | Fort Lauderdale, 1 East Las Olas Blvd., Fort Lauderdale, FL, 33301
The Messenger is the inaugural monographic museum exhibition dedicated to artist Frantz Zéphirin (b. 1968, Port-au-Prince, Haiti). While self-taught, Zéphirin was born into a lineage of painters that included his uncle, Antoine Obin, celebrated master of the Cap-Haïtien school. But in rejection of the Northern Haitian tradition of narrative painting grounded in Haitian daily life, Zéphirin created his own miniaturist style of painting, in which political history, Vodou spirituality and intensely decorative renderings of human animals converge.
The Messenger presents Zéphirin as a documentarian, recording the histories of both of the mortal realm and cosmic other. He is an Oungan (male Vodou priest) whose images have been created under the instruction of La Sirène, the sea goddess who became his muse and turned him toward a universal iconography that fused human, animal, and divine forms. Since 1988, Zéphirin has painted over two thousand visions of the mermaid, though he claims the paintings made themselves, the brushes and palette having mingled in his mind’s eye.
Simultaneous to the celestial visions that line his canvases, Zéphirin’s images are coupled with stories of ancestral and contemporary struggle: depictions of Haitian slavery and emancipation, its uniquely syncretic belief system, depictions of its ecological collapse in 2010 and its enduring battle to withstand devastation at the hands of gang violence.
Zéphirin’s paintings collapse temporal and spiritual borders, echoing the Haitian Spiralist movement’s belief in cyclical connection between the living and the dead, the earthly and the cosmic. In works such as The Slave Ship Brooks (2007) (exhibited at the 2022 Venice Biennale exhibition, Milk of Dreams) and Les Esprits Indien en face Colonisation (2000) the artist reimagines the transatlantic passage and the struggle for liberation through symbolic encounters between spirits and ancestors. In the aftermath of Haiti’s 2010 earthquake, his The Resurrection of the Dead (2007) appeared on the cover of The New Yorker, emblematic of an artist whose vision transforms tragedy into endurance. Through a synthesis of myth and reportage, Zéphirin situates Haiti not at the margins of history, but at its pulsing center, with the artist’s brush as witness and oracle to the diasporic world.
This exhibition is curated by Ariella Wolens, Bryant-Taylor Curator at NSU Art Museum Fort Lauderdale.

USA, 2026, Comedy, 88 Minutes
Influenced is a satirical comedy directed by Rachel Israel that follows Dzanielle, a wealthy Upper East Side social-media influencer obsessed with growing her online following. Surrounded by status-conscious friends, luxury lifestyles, and the performative culture of New York’s influencer elite, she spends her days chasing validation, sponsorships, and the elusive milestone of one million followers. As Dzanielle navigates a world of superficial relationships and relentless self-promotion, she begins to realize how disconnected she has become from genuine human connection. Her pursuit of internet fame takes an unexpected turn when she forms a real friendship that challenges her priorities and forces her to confront the difference between online influence and authentic self-worth. Through sharp humor and social commentary, the film explores modern influencer culture, identity, friendship, and the search for authenticity in an increasingly curated world.
Influenced is a hilariously foul-mouthed, warm-hearted satire of New York City’s Upper East Side “influencer” culture. Featuring an all-star ensemble cast including David Krumholtz, Justin Bartha, Christine Taylor, Laura Bell Bundy, Jessica Capshaw, Eugene Cordero and Dan Hedaya – plus hilarious cameos by Drew Barrymore, Jason Biggs, Gwyneth Paltrow and Matt Damon.
Influenced celebrated its world premiere at the Miami Jewish Film Festival

Rock got no reason, rock got no rhyme… You better get me to school on time!

Andrew Lloyd Webber’s School of Rock: Young Actors Edition follows Dewey Finn, a failed, wannabe rock star who decides to earn an extra bit of cash by posing as a substitute teacher at a prestigious prep school. There he turns a class of straight-A pupils into a guitar-shredding, bass-slapping, mind-blowing rock band. But can he get them to the Battle of the Bands without their parents and the school’s headmistress finding out? The show is a loving testimony to the transformative power of music.

This show will be performed by the talented 10 – 13 year old campers of the Broward Center and Performance Project Summer Camp.
