Miami Beach Teen Club Debuts IMpossible, “The Hope Reiley Story”
– Performed by Teens, for Teens –
Miami Beach, FL –The City of Miami Beach Teen Club proudly presents their newest
theatrical performance, IMpossible, premiering at Nautilus Middle School (4301 N
Michigan Ave) on May 26 -27, 2017 at 8 p.m. Held in a court room setting where a
teenage girl “Hope Reiley” is on trial for breaking society rules, this interactive play
allows audience members to choose the fate of the main character.
“I was inspired to write this play after an encounter I had with three homeless teens
outside of our center,” said Miami Beach Teen Club Supervisor Willie Priegues “I fed
them while they shared their stories with me, and if this play just helps one person facing
the same obstacles as those teens — then all of the hard work has been worth it.”
The performance will tackle many serious issues, including homelessness and mental
distress, while still sending an inspirational message to viewers. The play will introduce a
myriad of characters with the attempt to sway audience member’s votes. While the
witnesses are on the stand, six different screens will show flashbacks giving you clues
on who is actually telling the truth. Towards the end of the play the audience is given the
responsibility to deliberate on the defendant’s fate. Is she innocent or guilty? You
choose!
Join the Miami Beach Teen Club’s drama crew as they put your reasoning on trial.
IMpossible is a play performed by teens for teens. Doors open at 7:30 p.m. and tickets
are $5 each.

Youth Center at 305-673-7784.
