Hotter Than A Match Head

Artformz Alternative. From Jun 9th through Sep 1st, 2009.

Back in 1966 the rock group Lovin Spoonful couldn't have described our streets of the Wynwood Art District better:

Hot town, summer in the city
Back of my neck getting dirt and gritty
Been down, isn't it a pity
Doesn't seem to be a shadow in the city

The New Century

GagleStage. From Jun 20th through Jul 19th, 2009.

This riotous comedy, produced at Lincoln Center last season, centers around three delicious characters - a super-flamboyant Palm Beach TV host, a Jewish mother from Long Island, and a cheery Midwestern craftswoman - who collide in New York City under surprising circumstances.  The hilarious results demonstrate just where our New Century might be heading.
