Edge Theatre’s two one-act comedies The Pattern and The Problem are not your archetypal love stories. And that’s a good thing. The Pattern sees a young girl seeking professional help and advice in her relationship with a man she’s met online. And while she’s had her history of bad relationships…

Counterculture has coddled some of us cynics with the lovely idea that Valentine’s Day is just a corporate holiday mandated by Hallmark (which will totally order a hit on your ass, via Betty White with a Hello Kitty gat, if you don’t buy one of their recordable storybooks STAT). But…

To be honest, we expected more from Penn & Teller after growing up bona fide Comedy Central junkies, eagerly watching Mystery Science Theater 3,000, The Ben Stiller Show (all five or so episodes), and yes, The Unpleasant World of Penn & Teller. On that show, the duo toured Britain, performing…
Even those of you who are not degenerate gamblers have probably heard by now about the slew of annual proposition (prop) bets surrounding Sunday’s Super Bowl. They’re stupid we know, but truthfully, they add some color to what more often than not is a drab sporting event beset with enough…

Making a new marriage work is hard enough. Add a reality show to mix, and chances are you probably won’t even reach 8 years – the average length of first marriages. But we’re sure that won’t stop throngs of engaged couples from flocking to the Country Club of Coral Gables…
We kicked off Black History month in style last night, attending M-Ensemble’s opening night performance of the gospel musical Crowns at the Arsht Center.
