Buyer and Cellar

Miami Theater Center
9806 NE 2nd Avenue Miami Shores

The revelation that Barbra Streisand built a private shopping mall, complete with a doll shop, vintage clothing atelier and candy store, in the basement of her Malibu home has inspired many reactions -- surprise, befuddlement, righteous indignation -- but none as hilarious or as ingenious as Buyer & Cellar. In this Drama Desk Award winner, playwright Jonathan Tolins spins a crazy piece of trivia into a fictional one-man show of real depth and heart. Follow struggling thespian Alex More as he takes a job as the sole employee of Babs' wonder emporium. As the two forge an unlikely friendship, you begin to wonder whether their basement bonding will ever move upstairs into the light of real friendship. Performer Chris Crawford portrays six distinct characters -- including Streisand herself -- in this tour de force production from Actors' Playhouse at the Miracle Theatre.
