Thursday, December 3 Sometimes, a play is so hilarious, heartbreaking, or headline-torn that it demands more than one production a year. Michael McKeever’s Daniel’s Husband is all three of these things and more. The latest and most personal work from this indefatigable South Florida playwright received its world premiere this…
Thursday, November 19 From the truncated hilarity of the Reduced Shakespeare Company to the sly feminist comedy Women Playing Hamlet, the Bard is far from the theater world’s sacred cow.

Carter wonders, “What would it look like if we brought everybody together and respect each other’s differences?” He hopes to answer that…
Thursday, November 5 You’re in Fort Lauderdale; now imagine yourself on a boat. It shouldn’t be too hard, because this place is the yachting capital of the world — precisely what makes the city a global destination for boat enthusiasts. Now in its 56th year, the Fort Lauderdale International Boat…

Thursday, October 8 In Mexico, dance moves are as diverse as the stars.

You might be familiar with…
Thursday, October 1 Politics, religion, sex, race, gender: A lot of opinions and external factors separate the human race. If there are two things everyone likes, it’s attractive people and puppies — if you don’t, there’s something seriously wrong with you. Whether you have a puppy, want one, would like…

Thu 9/17 Social Jazzy Connections Boasted as the “most fun networking you will have this year,” the Greater Fort Lauderdale Chamber of Commerce will host its annual Jazz in the Hall event Thursday with live music, food, door prizes, and not one but two open bars. Let’s repeat that: two…

Thursday, September 3 It’s been eight years since the late and otherwise great Christopher Hitchens delivered a legendarily asinine polemic for Vanity Fair titled “Why Women Aren’t Funny.” It was quite an assertion, which funny women like Tina Fey, Amy Poehler, Mindy Kaling, Amy Schumer, Kristen Wiig, Melissa McCarthy, and…
Alan Scherstuhl and Stephanie Zacharek of the Village Voice, along with Amy Nicholson of the LA Weekly, run down the worst and best of the movies they saw this summer, which as summers go, wasn’t so terrible! Among the best performances were those by Sam Elliott, wonderful in two movies,…
Thursday, August 27 Whether it’s extra walks around the block, thorough back scratches on that spot just above the tail, tossing in an extra treat when you pass by, or stocking bowls of water filled to the top with a couple of ice cubes in for good measure, there are…

Thursday, July 16 Have you ever thought that you most certainly nailed a job interview with cool-as-a-cucumber composure only to peep down at your armpit region afterward to see two gigantic sweat stains pooling faster than you can safely exit the room? Or ever wonder why certain activities like nodding…
Thu 7/9 Food + Drink Ladies and Lagers Men drink beer. Ladies sip wine. That’s the stereotype anyway. Like all generalizations, though, there are hundreds (if not thousands) of exceptions to the rule. Although there certainly are more male brewers in the field, there are plenty of women who are…
