Today is hump day! Yay! And what does that mean? Well, if you’re a normal member of society, it could just mean that it’s the middle of the work week creating a peak, or rather a hump, smack dab in the middle of five brutal days. Or, if you’re a…
We were intrigued by “Forest” from the first Facebook’d glance. An art show in a library? And a folksy, anyone-can-do-it open-call for submission? Paired with a blog detailing fairly theoretical motivations behind the show? You’ve got our attention. But when our initial inquiries into the show turned up an anonymous…
The Broward Stage Door Theatre company etched a name for itself on stages in Coral Springs and Wilton Manors by tackling some of Broadway’s bigger, more lavish productions and winning a 2011 Carbonell for best musical (Mack & Mabel).Now Stage Door is taking its talents to North Beach with the…
The essential measure of a good cirque production is how many times the audience gasps. And last night, at the first performance of Cirque Éloize’s iD at the Arsht Center, there were four such audible gasps. The first came about 15 minutes in, when one of the b-boy performers started…

Admit it, you were swept up by the passion of soccer this month when U.S.Women’s World Cup soccer team made a heroic run to the final game, only to get your heart broken when they lost in penalty kicks. If there was one player who was the center of all…
With the exception of a missing pew and some hymnals, a modest room near the entrance of the Bass Museum of Art could be a private chapel. Approximately the size of an average South Florida bedroom, the space called the Cabinet houses a suite of 15 paintings, suggesting that art…
There are many ways to battle: via clamors and guns, via rap a la 8 Mile, and in a spirited dance-off. In the world of Montreal performance troupe Cirque Éloize, rival gangs choose to battle via a circus-off — or, more aptly, a cirque-off. In iD, which opens tonight at…
Watching part two of the Basketball Wives vacationing is immediately interesting to watch. We are about to two months into this show and think about it: just a few weeks back, Tami Roman was ready to throw down with Evelyn Lozada. But in last night’s episode, she is so worried…
Yes, friends, the eco-friendly fashionistas of the world finally have their first compostable swimsuit. This is something you wear in water that breaks down naturally and feeds worms, and possibly make fish bellies grumble. Is it possible to think of something nuttier? Nair shampoo? Turns out, the beachwear isn’t such a…
We don’t mean she got stinkin’ drunk, though we’re not saying she didn’t either (she did party pretty hard at, among other places, the Wine Cellar at the Forge). We just mean she celebrated her birthday hardcore — about a month after her break-up with Mark Anthony — with some…
Once, while watching a basketball game, Richard Schechner, a Tisch professor and artistic director of East Coast Artists, had an idea. If players could go from total calm on the bench, to completely in the game once on the court, then why couldn’t performers? Schechner devised RasaBoxes as a way…
Liver spots, colostomy bags, and Metamucil-breath. There are just so many things that can make a memaw beautiful. But according to gorgeousgrandma.com which declared last Saturday Gorgeous Grandma Day, blue hair and medical alert bracelets do not equate to straight-up sexiness. Apparently these are the qualities that make a granny…

When we previewed the comedy show at Zo’s Summer Grove for the calendar three weeks ago, the headliner was slated to be D.L. Hughley. On Friday, however, we learned that none other than comedy god Dave Chappelle had joined the line-up. His glory days in Half Baked and the Chappelle…
Want to know which demographic most enjoys gift-wrapping toenail clippings in moist towelettes? There’s probably scientists right now securing grant money for just such a useless study. And consider this study reported by the New York Times in which two sociologists gave us a groundbreaking conclusion: Women are more likely…

The City of Miami turns 115 years old on Sunday. That seems old, we know, but really it’s quite young for a major metropolitan city in this country. Maybe that explains why our fair city, while an exotic, world famous tourist destination, brimming with potential, is still often viewed as…
Nickelodeon is bringing back the ’90s to Nick at Nite. The shows start airing Monday on TeenNick and we can’t wait. The only issue is that the shows don’t start until midnight. At first we were a little annoyed. We didn’t want to wait around at home for them to…
When the news broke that Latin royalty Jennifer Lopez and Marc Anthony split, you could literally hear the cacophony of jaws dropping all over the 305. It seemed like JLo and MAnth would be together forever (we just made that up, like it?). The two singers just started shooting a reality…
