Miami, FL – April 25, 2012 – The Adrienne Arsht Center for the Performing Arts of Miami-Dade County proudly presents The House Theatre of Chicago’s critically-acclaimed production of  DEATH and HARRY HOUDINI, commended by the Chicago Tribune as “Magic of the very highest order!” This play marks the second House Theatre of Chicago production presented at the Adrienne Arsht Center after last season’s The Sparrow. Written and directed by The House’s Artistic Director Nathan Allen, DEATH and HARRY HOUDINI delivered a roller coaster ride through the life of the great magician, Harry Houdini, and his life-long battle against Death. House Company Member and award-winning magician, Dennis Watkins, has joined the cast and performed Houdini’s most renowned and dangerous escape—the dreaded Water Torture Cell—in this dark and tumultuous story that kept audiences on the edge of their seats. DEATH and HARRY HOUDINI plays in the intimate Carnival Studio Theater (Ziff Ballet Opera House) from April 26 – May 20, 2012 as part of the Theater Up Close season.
