In the second half of New Theatre’s Henry V, we found ourselves staring at Sipiwe Moyo, the actress who played the king, her expressive and round, dewey-skinned face framed by a hood of fluid metal. Wonder if it’s expensive to buy chainmail headdresses, we thought. They sure are cool. Bet…
“So whatcha doing this weekend?” “Oh, not much, dropping by Bas Fisher Invitational to watch a couple of writers write.” “Say what?”That’s right Miami literati, what you’ve been dreaming of your entire lives – just ahead of waiting in line at the DMV and sitting in rush hour traffic on…

Now that South Florida seems to have escaped the cone of danger/destruction/apocalypse for Hurricane Irene, we are collectively exhaling after keeping our breath for the past week.

Like many South Florida residents, we try not to travel without Y100. And Michael Yo and his crew really does make any ride home from work just a little bit easier. A couple of weeks ago, he happened to mention that he was hosting a night the Miami Improv. We…
Ever heard the phrase, “If you want the truth, go to the source?” Well, it’s something we try to live by here at Cultist. So as we watched the Basketball Wives reunion Monday night on VH1, many questions came to our mind that host John Salley just couldn’t seem to…
