Eric (Steve Evets) was once a spry young man who met the love of his life at a dance competition. He’s now a graying, slouching postman, slowly losing his mind and stuck caring for two teenage sons. He’s so miserable that his fellow postmen stage a little self-help visualization session…

Leo can’t deliver the goods to his girlfriend of six months. And there’s a good reason – he’s gay. But this is Catholic Uruguay, and men don’t just go around kissing other men in public. In Leo’s Room (El Cuarto de Leo), the title character, played by puppy-eyed Martín Rodríguez,…

Somebody must have poured water on fame monster Lady Gaga, ’cause that gremlin of an entertainer has multiplied. Well, that’s not actually how it happened. Once upon a time, there was a little person named Terra Jole (stay with us), who paid her rent throwing Vegas shows as Mini Britney…

Obama eased travel restrictions to Cuba, but the country 90 miles south still remains an enigma to most Americans. Its proximity and mystery inspired Minnesota composer Sage Lewis to create a multimedia production — The Closest Farthest Away (La Extrañable Lejania) — that would make this paradox of distance visible…
We don’t need an excuse to frolic outside this time of year. And it’s especially difficult to ignore the call of fresh air when the DWNTWN concert series books a lively band. Celebrate the end of another workweek with a performance by Bachaco at the Tina Hills Pavilion at Bayfront…
Every time Stephen Colbert goes home to South Carolina, he becomes an elderly black woman named Shirley. At least that was his shtick at Second City’s 50th anniversary reunion show, where he and other alumni got back to their sketch comedy roots. Often called the “Harvard of humor,” the Chicago…
Miami is not known for its extensive Irish-American population. So this week, don’t expect rivers to be dyed green in honor of the patron saint of Ireland. But in the wake of last year’s South Park-inspired “Kick a Ginger Day,” we should all eat corned beef and drink green beer…

It’s time to get ultra-protective about Miami’s venues, galleries, and event spaces. There’s a bad trend going on: Upper Eastside Garden is closing; Wallflower might be on its way out too. So now’s the time to grab hold of spaces like Locust Projects and shove them under your wing.Now twelve…
This year’s Oscars seem to be about having twice the fun. There are ten Best Picture nominations instead of five, and now there will be two wisecracking hosts, Steve Martin and Alec Baldwin, instead of one dancing Hugh Jackman. The show also runs the risk of running twice as long,…
