Get In The Habit Of Laughing Slow Burn Theatre Musical Comedy “Sister Act” Hits The Stage This February Slow Burn Theatre Company presents Sister Act, the divine feel-good musical comedy smash hit, in the Amaturo Theater at the Broward Center for the Performing Arts from Saturday, February 3rd through Sunday, February 18th. Based on the hit 1992 film, the musical follows Disco Diva Deloris Van Cartier, who witnesses a murder and is placed in protective custody in the one place the cops think she’ll never be found - a convent. It seems like she’s made a deal with the devil until she begins to make friends with the sisters and starts to shake things up. Featuring original music by Tony and Eight-Time Oscar® Winner Alan Menken (Newsies, Beauty and the Beast, Little Shop of Horrors) and lyrics by Glenn Slater, this heavenly score is filled with the sounds of Motown, Soul and Disco. In a review of the Broadway production, which was nominated for five Tony Awards including Best Musical, the New York Times reported, “When the wimples start quivering, the Slow Burn Theatre, Page 7A

The City of Aventura presents Ain’t Misbehavin’, winner of three Tony Awards including Best Musical at the Aventura Arts & Cultural Center on Saturday, January 27th at 3:00 p.m. and 8:00 p.m. Applauded by Huffington Post as “a boozy, after-hours party,” this musical revue is a tribute to the Black Musicians of the 1920’s and 1930’s who were part of the Harlem Renaissance. Taking its title from the 1929 Fats Waller Song, Ain’t Misbehavin’, the performance features five performers in an evening of rowdy, raunchy and humorous songs that encapsulate the various moods of the era and reflect Waller’s view of life as a journey meant for pleasure and play. Among the timeless standards in the show are “Tain’t Nobody’s Biz-ness If I Do,” “Honeysuckle Rose,” “The Joint is Jumpin’,” Your Feet’s Too Big,” “I’m Gonna Sit Right Down and Write Myself a Letter,” and “I Can’t Give You Anything But Love.”

Celebrating Love At First Bite Valentine’s Day “Foody” Options To Express Your Heartfelt Sentiments Valentine’s Day, celebrated annually on February 14th, is a day dedicated to love, affection, and the bonds that connect people. While it has evolved over the centuries, the essence of Valentine’s Day remains rooted in expressing and cherishing love. The origins of Valentine’s Day are shrouded in history, with various legends contributing to its rich tapestry. One popular belief is that Valentine’s Day commemorates the martyrdom of Saint Valentine, a Christian priest who lived during the Roman Empire. The story suggests that he defied Emperor Claudius II’s decree against marriages for young men, secretly conducting
weddings for couples in love. Another tale speaks of a note signed “from your Valentine” that Saint Valentine allegedly sent to his jailer’s daughter, with whom he had developed a close bond. While the historical accuracy of these stories is debated, they have collectively contributed to the romantic aura surrounding Valentine’s Day. Valentine’s Day has transcended its historical and cultural roots, becoming a global celebration of love and affection. Couples around the world exchange tokens of love, such as cards, flowers, chocolates, and gifts. The day is an opportunity to express heartfelt sentiments
