| Martin McDonagh's The Pillowman steps outside the playwright's customary Irish milieu to explore a mysterious series of child murders in an unspecified totalitarian country. Ground Up & Rising kicks off its ongoing series at Miami Beach's The Little Stage, 2100 Washington Ave., at 8 p.m. Friday with McDonagh's intense, unsettling play. Arnaldo Carmouze directs a cast that includes himself, Bechir Sylvain, Sheaun McKinney, Claudio Pinto, Jennifer Lorenzo, David Gallegos and Curtis Belz. Performances are 8 p.m. Friday-Saturday, 2 and 7 p.m. Sunday through Aug. 8. Tickets are $25 ($15 for students, seniors, military, actors' union members and Miami Beach residents).
