The Delray Beach Playhouse is presenting Ethel Waters: His Eye Is on the Sparrow. This play documents the life of Broadway gem Ethel Waters. She was born into extreme poverty, her mother a victim of rape, yet she was able to accomplish things most people only dream about. It wasn’t…
If Fifty Shades of Grey taught us anything — aside from the fact that mediocre prose doesn’t preclude commercial success — it’s that everyone’s more open to mild kink than originally suspected. The stage production Gloucester Blue weaves in plenty of sexual tension and even a bit of bondage, but…

A chiller about two abandoned little girls and their bond to the wraith of the title, Mama never delivers the primal terror its premise would suggest. Instead, the movie — the first feature by Andy Muschietti, who co-scripted with his sibling Barbara and Neil Cross — distracts with too much…
The way to a queen’s heart is through Rousseau in A Royal Affair, in which church and state oppression can’t, at least for a time, quell enlightenment urges. From prostitute trysts and physician-conducted crotch examinations to wild-stallion rides through the lush countryside, everything is eroticized in Nikolaj Arcel’s historical drama…

Digging into a lavish feast on a college campus seems counterintuitive, yes, but there will be no ramen noodles or Hot Pockets in sight at this weekend’s JA World Uncorked, hosted on Broward College’s campus. Chefs like Paula DaSilva (1500 Degrees at the Eden Roc Renaissance in Miami Beach), Lenore…
