More than an awesomely titled play by prolific playwright Stephen Adly Guirgis, The Motherfucker With The Hat, which opened last night at GableStage, is a production taut with tension, is sardonically funny, and is carried by its sharp, quick, vulgar and whip-smart dialog that is both hilarious and thought-provoking.It’s a…

Miami theater 2011: Best of the best

When the NFL season began, it was pretty much a foregone conclusion that the Philadelphia Eagles would come to town and slam the Miami Dolphins in the face with their juggernautness. But things haven’t quite turned out to be as awesome for the Eagles as originally thought. They signed some…

The Dolphins have ensured themselves their third straight losing season, falling to 4-9, and remain dead-last in the AFC East even though everyone…
The Santaland Diaries, which opened last night at the Arsht Center, is the perfect antidote for the saccharin-filled Holiday themed cheeriness that bombards our every day existence in movies, television, plays, parks and, most of all, the cathedral of mawkish X-Mas merriment — the shopping mall.Based on the collection of…
