These are very important times for the Florida Panthers. Seven teams have a realistic shot of finishing the season in the final four spots of the playoffs. At the time of this writing, the Cats are tied for the seventh spot in the conference. One cold streak by the Panthers…
If you’ve seen any of the great, African-American comedies of the past few decades, chances are you’ve seen John Witherspoon show up in at least one. He seems to be the go-to guy to play the stereotypical old and cranky black dad. Whether he’s trying to “coordinate” his mushroom pants…
When conjuring famous international art cities, many pop to mind: Milan, Miami, Paris, New York, Beijing, Coral Springs — wait, what was that last one? It’s true. Coral Springs Museum of Art’s current exhibit features a collection by Romero Britto. A Miamian by way of Brazil, this pop purveyor has…
Want further proof that craft beer is the newest liquor du jour? Take a look at the Thursday night beer tasting going down at ritzy, vintage-format steakhouse Angelo & Maxie’s. A&M’s comes from New York City stock – think Madison Avenue suits hoisting a rocks glass in one hand and…
There is something wonderful in the dancing cadences of Sarah Ruhl’s The Dead Man’s Cell Phone: the way its madcap scenes chase each other like bits of the author’s associative thought process. The tale follows Jean, a shy and needy woman who one day finds herself seated next to a…
“That was the most offensive display of sexualized violence I have ever seen,” one wilting fellow in need of a camphor hankie was overheard saying in the elevator. Such blanching is the reaction Last House on the Left is trolling for, but I doubt it will be typical. Permissibility has…
You are all. So. Beauuutiful.” So says Anita Berber (Ashley Ellenburg) in the opening monologue of Michael McKeever’s new play, Dangerous. It is not a compliment. Berber has been ruined by beautiful things, and her slow, slurred words are a warning wrapped in a sneer. She is a bombed-out refugee…
Mea culpa. I confess. For years, I didn’t “get” Duane Hanson. Oh, sure, I got that he was probably both the best and the best-known American realist sculptor of the human figure, certainly the best at his particular brand of all-out, trompe l’oeil realism. I got that nobody else prompts…
“While this exhibition may look playful and inviting, in reality it addresses many complex societal issues.” So proclaims the news release for “John Zoller: Color & Learn,” now winding down in the Project Room at the Art and Culture Center of Hollywood. Heck, they had us at “playful and inviting.”…
Theo Von got his start on MTV’s Road Rules in 1994. His subsequent appearances on the Real World/Road Rules specials kept him in the semi-warm glow of the reality television limelight just long enough to start working on a stand up act. This all seems like it would spell disaster…
There’s nothing quite like the thunderous boom of a drum the size of a Volkswagen Bug to get the bones in your chest to rattlin’. Japan’s legendary Kodo Ensemble, masters of the rumbling sound of the giant taiko drum, are poised to blow the roof off the Kravis Center tonight…
“The Petite Opening” is the epitome of chi-chi. It’s an artsy party happening tonight at a hair salon in West Palm Beach, organized by a trio of eccentric characters: Neil London, an advertising exec and stock-market heavyweight who counts Citibank among his clients and runs a 24-hour Internet news channel;…
When you visit the website shotgunparty.com, you’ll find a product that punctures the bottom of beer cans to allow maximum drinkage. It’s fitting that the band Shotgun Party can probably give you just as much of a buzz, without all that pesky projectile vomiting. When you visit their site, cleverly…
Russian Jews were in a precarious position in the early 20th Century. Already, the century had brought them cruel social and economic oppression in Tsarist Russia, and then betrayal by the Bolshevik movement to which they’d largely given their sympathies. In the Revolution, Jews were demonized and killed by armies…
Inveterate rock group Bad Company will host the St. Paddies Day festivities at Roxy’s Pub in downtown West Palm Beach. The show is free and also includes the band Live. Now here’s a video of Bad Company, performing live. Wrap your head around that one: Tue., March 17, noon, 2009…
The streets outside Moroccan eatery Tazin are usually lined with lux modern whips, far from the camel you might see tethered outside a North African resto serving the same cuisine. But the glittery people queued up to get inside might not be able to handle the sight of a furry,…
Some folk might curse the fact that Saint Patrick’s Day fell on a weekday this year, but the truly wise auld souls know it’s a blessing in disguise: St. Paddy’s on a Tuesday is essentially just free license to get crocked off your arse during the week; akin to adding…
It’s a rarity for a bar to stay open for more than a year in South Florida, an area that routinely tears down the old and erects the new as quickly as songs change on the radio. Add to that cycle an economic climate stiffer than an August day in…
Long before Fall Out Boy was plugging the Honda Civic, the backseat love affair between dirty rock bands and fast rides was already consummated. From Queen’s “I’m in Love With My Car” to Metallica’s “Fuel,” it’s a rare and deep partnership in a sea of fleeting and skeezy backstage encounters…
If your tan lines are fading faster than Gary Busey’s sanity, kill two birds by wandering booth-to-booth at the Lauderdale-By-The-Sea Craft Festival this weekend. Not only can you scorch your shoulders by meandering along Ocean Drive, but you can also do some shopping en plein air while chatting with the…
Imagine how differently you would view animal rights if your pets could hold a conversation. They would shudder and sigh disapprovingly as you explained stuff like foie gras, or the dairy and poultry industry. You would feel ashamed of your barbaric blood lust. Since they cannot throw their two cents…
