We're Taking our TALENT to the STREET...
... Flagler Street!
Flagler Street Stages:
• 159 E. Flagler Street • 132 E. Flagler Street |
Olympia Theater launches Street Stages, bringing FREE community programming to Downtown Miami’s Flagler Street on Friday and Saturday evenings through March 2021. Since we can’t present entertainment inside, Olympia brings the show outside so everyone can enjoy Miami’s talented Performing Artists in a safe, socially distanced, responsible way.
Every Friday and Saturday from 4:00p to 8:00p Singer/Songwriters, Jazz/Pop Ensembles, Jugglers, Electronica, Comedians, Opera and Performance Art pop up in front of Storefront Art Installations at two locations on East Flagler Street. Sets are short and a perfect fit between drinks and bites in Downtown restaurants and bars. Street Stages is part of the #Flagler District #SafeStreets / Alt-B initiative, activating vacant storefronts with Art, and is funded by Miami DDA, Miami-Dade County, Florida Division of Cultural Affairs and supported by Flagler District BID. |

@ 132 E. Flagler Street (EXILE) Guy Michel the Cello Assassin Born in Port au Prince Haiti, Guy Michel grew up in a household surrounded by musicians and artists, music has always been part of his DNA. At the age of 5, his dad encouraged him to play the cello. Guy did not approve of it at first, but he later saw the beauty of this instrument at a recital. On that day, he fell in love and has never looked back. Guy emigrated to the U.S to further his musical studies at Florida International University where he received a bachelor's in Music Education. Although Guy is classically trained, he believes that music goes beyond Bach and Beethoven. Guy loves exploring new possibilities with the cello through a repertoire ranging from easy listening to hip hop and EDM. * This performance is part of Arsht on the Road, an Adrienne Arsht Center series |

@ 132 E. Flagler Street (EXILE) Ha1ey Ha1ey is many things: a vocal powerhouse, a fiery performer, and a lyrical risk taker. With a raw ballad or a spicy anthem, she motivates people to be the truest, most badass version of themselves. She was born in New York and raised in Miami, where she discovered her edge. With a fresh take on the Pop genre, Ha1ey calls her style Persona Pop: classy as champagne and dramatic as a film score, with a few jokes thrown in. She is currently performing throughout Miami and producing new music for her upcoming EP. * This performance is part of Arsht on the Road, an Adrienne Arsht Center series |
