Platanos and Collard Greens


Now at the Adrienne Arsht Center for the Performing Arts in the Carnival Studio Theater, come see this country-wide Off-Broadway hit!

"A modern day West Side Story!" raved The New York Times.

Spicy, sweet and delicious, Platanos and Collard Greens is the long-running off-Broadway hip-hop romantic comedy that asks if love between Blacks and Latinos can survive.

College kids Freeman and Angelita give it a try—until her Mom finds out and has a heart attack. It's a star-crossed love affair guaranteed to make you think while laughing out loud!

The Courier Times, the New York metropolitan area's leading African-American newspaper, called it "stimulating, breathtaking, a mind-blowing must-see!" La Diva Latina Magazine said "Bring your appetite for laughter when you go to see this novela set on stage!"

Platanos and Collard Greens has enchanted audiences of over 150,000 both Off Broadway in New York City and around the country.

"It's a play that everyone can relate to!" said the New York Amsterdam News. Don't miss out!

Performances will be running from February 17th thru 28th with weekday shows at 7:30PM and two performances on weekends at both 2:00PM and 7:30PM. Tickets vary from $15-$35. Please visit the Adrienne Arsht Center site for more information or click here to be linked directly to page.

Urban Dodgeball for Happy Hour?!

Ok, so I've been back and forth for like 2 months now with the DAC about getting together a Downtown/Brickell Dodgeball League. Yes, I'm talking about that game we used to play as kids.They even made a movie on it a few years ago and since then it's hit the country big. We even have a national dodgeball league. How funny is that?

I'm not sure how this all came about or what might have prompted this recent obsession but I've been stuck on it for a while and what the heck? I'm sure it will be a lot of fun. I was thinking co-ed teams and I know we have some competitive people around town. Plus it will be a fun way to lose a little weight, meet new people and release some stress as teammates hail flying red balls at each other's asses. LoL- Ok... it won't be that vicious; I think...

So, I got together with my friend Alex at MiamiUrbanLife, the Downtown Athletic Club and ECCO Pizzateca to put together our first dodgeball "mash" game during happy hour. How exciting!! There's something about the words Dodgeball and Happy Hour that have a nice ring to it. Urban Dodgeball anyone?

After a couple of days of scrambling, we finally got it together and everything is set for this Friday, December 11, 2009. Now there's only one thing left. Who, of all the buzz talkers will show up?

Anyone got balls?! Ha ha...

As part of a great collaborative effort, I'm proud to say that we're going to be taking it old school! Yes, up against the wall, duck, burn and run!

Only the brave will show if they think they got what it takes. Anyone and everyone is invited!

So here's the final scoop:

We will be playing at the Downtown Athletic Club (DAC) which is located at 200 South Biscayne Blvd in Suite 15A; better known as the Wachovia Financial Center. The DAC has been kind enough to lend us their facility and take care of parking for guests and participants.

Following our first mash game, we will head on over to ECCO (literally down the street) for the dodgeball game after party. Everyone who participates will enjoy 2 for 1 drink specials, along with chill music and a delectable menu. However, only people with an MUL card will get to enjoy the 2 for 1 special from 7:30PM to 9:00PM.

I'm hoping and looking forward to a good turn out and creating a little urban ritual for a different kind of happy hour.

So, if you're interested in playing, just sign up here for DODGEBALL.
