Miami-born siblings pursuing careers in New York have created a company whose first production will be Stephen Sondheim’s musical Into The Woods as part of the Arsht Center’s Theater Up Close series next season.
Sister and brother Natalie and JJ Caruncho are partnering with the Arsht, artistically and financially as co-producers, to mount a full production of the large-scale musical in January as the inaugural entry from their new troupe, DreamCatcher Theatre.
The number and frequency of expected future local productions will depend on the Carunchos’ availability as other assignments allow. But the company is designed as an open-ended operation that will employ both the Carunchos’ New York colleagues and local talent on an ad hoc basis.
Natalie wrote in an email Saturday night, “We are beyond thrilled that they are entrusting us with their support and a spot in their Theatre Up Close Season…. It is going to be an exciting adventure. The entire team has been incredibly supportive and encouraging. We couldn’t be happier to be starting our journey at the Arsht.”
