In Mad Cat’s So My Grandmother Died, Blah, Blah, Blah, Polly Chekhov, a comedy writer living in Hollywood, California, flies home to Hollywood, Florida, for her grandmother’s funeral. She then gets a nasty case of writer’s block when it comes time to write the eulogy. This becomes the kick-starter to…

El Malentendido, the International Hispanic Theatre Festival’s Spanish-language version of Albert Camus’s dipped-in-irony-titled play The Misunderstanding, opened last night at the Arsht Center. The production, translated into Spanish and directed by Mario Ernesto Sanchez, is awash in melodrama and overwrought performances. But that’s a good thing. Led by the electric Neher Jacqueline…
There’s nothing like finding love in a laundromat. Especially when it’s set to snazzy dance moves and oldies music. Suds, which is launching the opening of the new Miami Beach Stage Door at the Byron Carlyle Theatre in North Beach, is a bubbly musical comedy about three teenage girls trying…
