Two plays written by two of Broadway’s greatest playwrights have recently opened, both dealing with AIDS. Stephen Sondheim and James Lapine’s “Into the Woods” was seen as an allegory for the AIDS crisis when it debuted in 1987. Terrance McNally’s “Love! Valour! Compassion!”, which debuted on Broadway in 1994 deals with AIDS head-on as two of the characters battle the disease.
Miami City Ballet (MCB) and Artistic Director Lourdes Lopez successfully balance homage to dance history and the monumental legacy of George Balanchine, while also highlighting the choreographic genius of some of today’s most gifted choreographers.

Witty conversation and gay romance are what you can find in Eliot Schrefer's "Charming Young Man".
From the first time many of us saw Gael García Bernal onscreen, in “Amores Perros” or “Y Tu Mama Tambien,” we knew he had something special. A little spark they used to call “star quality.” In Almodóvar’s “Bad Education,” Iñárritu’s “Babel,” and more recently, Larraín’s “Ema,” Bernal was never anything less than riveting.
The Carbonell Awards, South Florida’s theater and arts honors, announced the nominations in 20 competitive categories for the 2022-2023 theater season.
