This weekend in Homestead, FL

Guided by the belief that breaking silence can open the door to healing, this community gathering centers a men’s panel focused on grief, gun violence, loss, and the path toward restoration. Created for men, families, and community members who have lost loved ones or faced trauma and other painful life experiences, it offers a supportive place to speak openly, listen with compassion, and find strength together. Conversations emphasize honesty, resilience, faith, and practical support so no one has to carry grief alone. The goal is to face the impact of gun violence and tragedy on homes and communities while fostering genuine dialogue and collective healing. Hosted by HE Chose Me.

Hosted in the theater at Deering Estate, recently updated with enhanced projection, lighting, and surround audio, admission is free.

Step into an immersive courtroom drama that places you in the juror’s seat. Hear testimony, study evidence, and vote at pivotal moments that can shift the direction of the trial and uncover new angles. Every performance can play out differently because the audience guides the case and delivers the final verdict. The story follows a late-night speedboat outing led by the son of a powerful politician, joined by an ex-partner and old friends. By the end of the night, one person is dead, another is in a coma, and the driver stands accused of murder. The proceedings explore whether jealousy sparked the tragedy or if something more complex lies beneath. This experience includes intense material, including domestic violence, emotional manipulation, alcohol use, and a distressing emergency call. It is designed for ages 12 and up, with adult accompaniment required for anyone under 16. The venue is fully accessible and has a designated wheelchair area. Seating is unassigned within selected zones. There are no strobe effects. Photography and recording are allowed if flash is avoided. Groups of 30 or more and private showings can be arranged, and there is no late entry.
