You could try to break more bones than Evel Knievel, but chances are you’d just look clumsy, no matter how awesome your motorcycle. And if you were to get shot while wearing a top hat in Ford’s Theatre, what would be the point? Abraham Lincoln already owns that. Same thing…
Everybody loves Ross Mathews. I mean, how can you not love the effortlessly hilarious Hollywood gossiper with the distinguishable, high-pitched voice? His voice may be one of the things that make him stand out, but it’s something he’s learned to accept and embrace. In other words, he manned up. That’s…
Travis Wall knows a thing or two about dreams. Firstly, the 25-year-old dancer, Emmy-nominated choreographer and reality star is living his; the dance company he founded with his best friends, Shaping Sound, recently set off on a multicity tour.

Road Through Heaven at New Theatre Through June 2
Three years after the 2010 Haiti earthquake, it’s easy to look to the island nation and wonder, what has been done, what has improved, is there rebirth? It can be a dark gaze — so much to be done. But for rays of light, look no further than Haiti’s premiere…
Let’s be real — some of the best ideas in the world are born out of bottles. Autralian-born comedienne Caroline Reid certainly owes a lot to a wild night and some vodka. One night, she dressed up as a Pan Am hostess and had some friends over for a party…
GableStage’s production of Cock contains what might go down (pun intended) as the most arousing sex scene you’ll see onstage all year. Except you won’t actually see it. Contrary to the expectations of its saucy title, Cock is chaste as can be. Physical contact is limited to the occasional embrace…
Did you miss out on all the free Cock last week? Don’t fret — the South Florida Theater League is doing its best to pack theaters full for all the region’s summertime performances. And if that means giving tickets away for free, so be it. The league’s Free Night of…

To revive an axiom that President Obama directed at the ideas of a certain failed vice presidential candidate from Alaska: Actors’ Playhouse’s production of The Fox on the Fairway is, at best, lipstick on a pig. As pretty as the company presents it, it’s still an ugly, desperate, virtually witless…

Stage hypnotist Rich Guzzi has learned to expect the unexpected. In one memorable performance, he instructed 15 hypnotized audience volunteers to compose and perform a rap song onstage — in Chinese. One by one, they shed their inhibitions and freestyled vaguely Oriental gibberish, at the cultural expense of any unfortunate…

Since then he has become a dancer, actor, performing artist, and writer, performing with Teo Castellanos’ D-Projects and becoming a founding member of Octavio Campos’ Camposition Hybrid Theater Works and Rosie Herrera’s Rosie Herrera Dance Theatre. A highly acclaimed b-boy, Goblen and his…
Mark your calendars: There will be swordfighting on Miami Beach this summer. Well, not on the beach, exactly, but in a small theater steps away from the sand.

In his award-winning play Jeffrey, first produced off-Broadway in 1993, playwright Paul Rudnick (who wrote the screenplay to Hollywood’s In & Out) dipped his sifter into that veritable comic goldmine, the AIDS crisis. HIV might not be the cause for national panic it once was — a controversial “functional cure”…
Glengarry Glen Ross at Main Street Playhouse Through May 19
Some of the best comedians infuse truth and intellect into their act, which can put off those looking for a night of laughter without thinking. (Ahem, Seth MacFarlane fans.) For those expecting Sarah Silverman’s stage act to replicate that of her absurdist (yet hilarious) television program, The Sarah Silverman Show,…
During the South Beach Comedy Festival, while headlining the Fillmore Miami Beach, Tracy Morgan addressed the protesters who had decried his “misogynistic” performances in Australia earlier this week. But first, he strutted onto the stage with his arms spread wide and announced, “I gotta shit.” Nothing about Morgan’s bright white…
As part of the South Beach Comedy Festival, taking place on South Beach now through April 21, the smart, silly, sassy, and somewhat controversial Sarah Silverman will take the stage at the Fillmore Miami Beach on the highly appropriate date, 4/20. She may do some partying while she’s in the…
