Grab your best partners-in-crime and hatch a plot to catch Die, Mommie, Die! by Charles Busch, Island City Stage’s riotous 12th Season closer running August 22 – September 22. Off-Broadway star Kris Andersson (aka Dixie Longate) leads a multitalented cast of performers in this killer comic melodrama that evokes the 1960s “Grande Dame Guignol” films that featured aging stars such as Bette Davis, Joan Crawford and Lana Turner.

Ex-pop singer Angela Arden is trapped in a hateful marriage with Sol. But desperate to find happiness with her young lover Tony, Angela murders her husband with a poisoned suppository. Suspicious of their mother, her children slip her some LSD, provoking a wild acid trip in which many secrets are revealed.

Die, Mommie, Die! was first produced in 1999 by Kenneth Elliott and Don Fairbanks at the Coast Playhouse in Los Angeles. In October 2007, the play opened Off-Broadway at New World Stages in New York City. Directed by Carl Andress, the production starred author Charles Busch and featured Bob Ari, Van Hansis, Chris Hoch, Ashley Morris and Kristine Nielson. It was also made into a 2003 film starring Busch.

Charles Busch has forged a unique place in the world of entertainment as playwright, actor, director, novelist, cabaret performer and drag icon. The award-winner is the author and star of over 25 plays including The Divine Sister, The Lady in Question, Red Scare on Sunset, The Tribute Artist, The Confession of Lily Dare and Vampire Lesbians of Sodom; one of the longest running plays in the history of Off-Broadway. His play The Tale of the Allergist’s Wife ran for 777 performances on Broadway, won the Outer Circle Critics’ John L. Gassner Award for playwrighting, received a Tony nomination for Best Play and is the longest running Broadway comedy of the past 25 years. He wrote and starred in the film versions of his plays, Psycho Beach Party and Die Mommie Die, the latter of which won him the Best Performance Award at the Sundance Film Festival. For two seasons, he appeared as Nat Ginzburg on the HBO series OZ and is the author of the auto-biographical novel Whores of Lost Atlantis. He has directed two films and has appeared as a guest programmer and in numerous documentaries for Turner Classic Movies. He has lectured and conducted master classes at many colleges and universities including NYU, Harvard, UCLA and Amherst College. In 2003, Mr. Busch received a special Drama Desk Award for career achievement as both performer and playwright and was given a star on the Playwrights Walk outside the Lucille Lortel Theatre. He is also the subject of the acclaimed documentary film The Lady in Question is Charles Busch. He is a two-time MAC award winner and has performed his cabaret across the globe.

Die, Mommie Die! is directed by Andy Rogow and co-stars Clay Cartland, Troy J. Stanley, Elizabeth Dimon, Kevin Veloz and Suzanna Ninomiya alongside Andersson.

Die, Mommie, Die! is co-produced by the Warten Foundation. Costume Sponsors are DC Allen and Ken Flick and Lights and Sound Sponsor is Vic Smith. Additional funding is provided by the following: The Our Fund Foundation, The Schubert Foundation Inc., The SHS Foundation, The Maval Foundation, and the Broward County Board of County Commissioners as recommended by the Broward Cultural Council.

Cost: $20 online and $25 at the door

American Heritage Schools [ahschool.com], the top-ranked PK3 through 12 college preparatory school in Florida, is proud to announce its annual “K-9 Cause: An Evening of Art” auction benefiting the Broward Sheriff’s Foundation’s Retired Canine Relief Fund, on Saturday, April 20.

Everyone loves dogs; however, police dogs, or K-9s, are a special breed. Instead of enjoying the pampered pet lifestyle, K-9s dedicate their entire lives to working daily to protect and serve citizens in our community along with their fearless handlers. They are considered law enforcement officers, whose duties include constant training, apprehending suspects, and searching for explosives, drugs, and missing persons.

When the K-9s retire, their law enforcement handlers graciously adopt them and continue to care for them, as these K-9s have become their friends for life. Recognizing that the medical and healthcare for these K-9s can get quite costly, the Broward Sheriff’s Foundation has established the Retired K-9 Healthcare Fund. This Fund pays for up to 50% of the wellness care costs for all retired K-9s from any local law enforcement agency in Broward County.

Inspired by a little boy’s passion for animals and art, American Heritage Schools is raising money to “fund this fund” by selling artistic renditions of these fine K-9s. Jackson Laurie, a sophomore at American Heritage Schools, and his parents Dr. Douglas Laurie and Nikki Laurie-Van Allen have partnered with the National Art Honor Society and the award-winning Fine Arts faculty at American Heritage to create artwork of these very K-9 being honored.

American Heritage Schools, Broward Campus, will be hosting a Silent Auction for these original works of art, as well as a limited supply of prints for sale at our K-9 Cause event. 100% of all funds raised from this event will benefit the Broward Sheriff Foundation’s Retired K-9 Relief Fund.

Cost: 50

MIAMI- El mítico Teatro Manuel Artime, de Miami; y The Alan & Diane Lieberman Theater at JCC, ubicado en North Miami Beach, son los lugares escogidos para representar dos de las obras más emblemáticas, ovacionadas, y exitosas del teatro argentino, ‘El Amateur’, y ‘El Equilibrista’, ambas representadas magistralmente por el actor Mauricio Dayub.

Sin duda, las piezas más vistas y de mayor alcance del premiado actor argentino, que se entrelazan a la perfección con la realidad cultural y social del Sur de Florida. Condados en los que sus habitantes, en su gran mayoría inmigrantes, comparten un objetivo común y lo arriesgan todo para lograr sus sueños.

“Ambas obras son espectáculos que tienen la virtud de llegar al corazón del espectador porque divierten y al mismo tiempo emocionan. Creo que esa es la llave de lo que ocurre con su éxito, generando ese deseo de repetir las funciones, y convirtiéndose para la gente en algo más que entretenimiento”, dijo Mauricio Dayub.

SOBRE ‘EL AMATEUR’:

Pieza consolidada como una de las obras más emblemáticas del teatro independiente de Argentina. Ganó 17 premios, cuenta con una versión cinematográfica, y se estrenó en diversos países de habla hispana. Cautivando al público gracias a un hilo conductor divertido y esperanzador que habla de los logros, del anhelo de cumplir los sueños, y del deseo de alcanzar lo imposible.

SOBRE ‘EL EQUILIBRISTA’:

Sin duda, esta obra es la historia que cada persona podría contar acerca de su vida, si pudiera volver a ser niño. Es una forma de compartir parte de la vida, deleitando e ilusionando al público para que puedan salir del teatro con el ímpetu necesario para demostrar que el mundo es de los que se animan a perder el equilibrio.

Fantasy Theatre Factory is proud to present a live performance of Wizards, and Dragons, and Books… Oh My!

Jojo, a great kid who loves to read… That is until some kids in the lunchroom start calling her names like “bookworm.” To avoid the bullying, Jojo goes to Mendel’s Magical Book Shop, hoping that she can sell his books and use the money to buy video games, so she’ll fit in with the other kids. Once in the Magic Book Shop though, things take an unexpected turn as the stories in her books magically start to jump to life all around her! Now, all of the pages to Jojo’s books are blank and the characters from her books are running wild in real life!

It’s up to Jojo to retell the stories to get her old friends to go back on the page. While Jojo works to get his favorite characters from her books to go back on to the pages they belong in, she remembers why she loves to read some much in the first place; It’s really FUN! Along the way Jojo starts to realize that all of his books have characters in them who are different, and that being different is what makes them special.

This show artfully weaves its featured books into its thru-line to create a show that both encourages reading and celebrates diversity.

Walk This Way creator, King S. Jewell, founder of Sneaker Shootout and Self-Proclaimed Sneaker Gawd conceptualized this unique idea of highlighting and celebrating contestants to pay homage to sneaker enthusiasts like himself.

While speaking with other sneaker collectors, it was brought to my attention that there was no real presence of a sneaker community represented here in Miami. I also believe that sneakers, fashion and art go hand and hand; and should be recognized on a larger scale. This is my humble attempt and continued efforts to Integrate the sneaker world with the art world,”-King Jewell

Join MOCA on the first Sunday of every month for MOCA Sunday Stories, followed by a DIY early childhood art project. Celebrate America’s Independence Day with MOCA as they read “Apple Pie 4th of July” by Janet S. Wong. Shocked that her parents are cooking Chinese food to sell in the family store on an all-American holiday, a feisty Chinese American girl tries to tell her mother and father how things really are. But as the parade passes by and fireworks light the sky, she learns a surprising lesson. After the reading, participants may create their own fireworks head crown to take home.

Sponsored by the North Miami Community Redevelopment Agency, this early childhood art series engages toddlers and fosters reading, motor skill development and socialization. MOCA Sunday Stories is a great way for children to bond with their parents or guardians as they create together.

Ten years after the liberation of the Nazi concentration camps, filmmaker Alan Resnais documented the abandoned grounds of Auschwitz and Majdanek in Night and Fog (Nuit et Brouillard), one of the first cinematic reflections on the Holocaust. Juxtaposing the stillness of the abandoned camps’ empty buildings with haunting wartime footage, Resnais investigates humanity’s capacity for violence and presents the devastating suggestion that such horrors could occur again. After the documentary, there will be an open discussion on understanding historical questions raised in the film and universal questions about justice and humanity. Panelists include Dr. Terrence Peterson, Assistant Professor of History at FIU, and Dr. Oren Stier, Associate Professor of Religious Studies and Director of the Holocaust Studies initiative.
