DURAN ▼ PINECREST CAST A SPELL If you’re eagerly anticipating your letter from Hogwarts, Pinecrest Gardens has an enchant- ing event that might be the next best thing. This Friday, don’t miss the opportunity to join Hog- warts Herbology 101, a terrarium-making work- shop designed to test your horticultural skills. No worries — there’s no need to bring your ear- muffs, as this class won’t involve planting man- drakes. As a student, you’ll have the chance to personalize your terrarium and proudly repre- sent your Hogwarts house. Additionally, for those who haven’t acquired a wand from Olli- vanders yet, fear not; each participant receives their very own wand. 6:30 p.m. Friday, at Pinecrest Gardens, 11000 SW 57th Ave., Pinecrest; 305-669-6990; pinecrestgardens.org.

SOPHIA MEDINA ▼ ALLAPATTAH LEVEL UP We’ve all got to start somewhere, and for local filmmakers, the 786 Film Festival, presented by Omega Spit, is hoping to provide that to them. Why not 305? To represent Miami’s new gen- eration of artists, the festival opted to celebrate the 786 overlay, which was introduced in 1998 after all 305 number combinations were ex- hausted. (Miami-Dade now has a third area code, 645, which will be introduced in August because 786 faces a similar fate.) But back to the films. Expect to see filmmakers of all skill levels spotlighted and Miami Community Ra- dio helping with the broadcast. 7 p.m. Friday, at the Bridge, 4220 NW Seventh Ave., Miami; ins- tagram.com/omegaspit. Tickets cost $10 via shotgun.live. JOSE D. DURAN ▼ LITTLE HAVANA POOR BUT MAKE IT CHIC You don’t need to be an opera aficionado to recognize La Bohème, the four-act opera composed by Giacomo Puccini. This time- less masterpiece follows the lives of a group of young bohemians in Paris’ Latin Quarter, focusing on the relationship between Ro- dolfo and Mimi. If the storyline strikes a chord, the Broadway musical Rent heavily draws inspiration from this classic. On Fri- day, at the Manuel Artime Theater, Florida L’Opera & Zarzuela showcases the 1896 original with Herman Diaz and Nathalie Ávila portraying Rodolfo and Mimi, respec- tively. 8 p.m. Friday, at the Manuel Artime Theater, 900 SW First St., Miami; 305-960- 4680; miamigov.com/manuelartime. Tickets cost $10 to $35 via eventbrite.com. ASHLEY-ANNA ABOREDEN ▼ NORTH MIAMI LOUIS, LOUIS Swing over to the Museum of Contemporary Art, North Miami, for a night of jazz.
