Florida may reduce one layer of taxation. It does not eliminate the need for structure.
The Adrienne Arsht Center for the Performing Arts of MiamiDade County (@arshtcenter) and Broadway Across America (@bwayamerica) close the 2025 – 2026 Broadway in Miami series with the anticipated return of The Book Of Mormon (@bookofmormon), playing a limited engagement from Tuesday, June 9th, 2026 - Sunday, June 14th, 2026 in the Ziff Ballet Opera House.

That may sound obvious, but it is one of the most important distinctions affluent retirees, executives, and business owners need to understand. Florida’s lack of a State Income Tax is a real advantage. For many successful families, relocating to Florida is a smart decision. But residency is not a plan. Here is the problem: many people confuse a tax-friendly state with a tax-free retirement. They sell a business, move to Tampa, Ft. Myers, Jacksonville, Boca Raton, Fort Lauderdale, Naples, Orlando, or Miami, and assume the heavy tax work is behind them. They no longer have the State Income Tax burden they had in New York, New Jersey, Illinois, California, or Connecticut. That feels like progress, and in many cases it is. But the Federal Tax System did not move away. Retirement account distributions may still be taxable. Capital gains still matter. Concentrated stock positions still need planning. Deferred compensation can create income at inconvenient times. A business

The 2026 - 2027 Classical Music Series At The Arsht Five Extraordinary Evenings In The Acoustically Brilliant Knight Concert Hall The Adrienne Arsht Center for the Performing Arts of MiamiDade County (@arshtcenter) is proud to announce the 2026 – 2027 Classical Music Series, featuring an extraordinary five-show lineup in the acoustically brilliant Knight Concert Hall, “easily one of the best venues to see a concert” (Miami New Times). The new season brings five unforgettable evenings with some of the world’s most celebrated artists and ensembles, including the Arsht debut of Chamber Orchestra Of Europe led by Yannick Nezet-Seguin with Pianist Beatrice Rana; a highly anticipated return by legendary
Cellist Yo-Yo Ma; the Arsht debut of the Munich Philharmonic under Chief Conductor Lahav Shani; an intimate multimedia experience with violin icon Itzhak Perlman; and a thrilling first appearance in the series by superstar Pianist Yuja Wang. South Florida classical music lovers will experience a dynamic range of repertoire — from beloved masterworks by Brahms, Prokofiev, Shostakovich and Schubert to programs that showcase the virtuosity, artistry and global impact of today’s leading performers. To enhance the musical experience, the Arsht will continue to
offer free Arsht Plus classical lectures led by Miami-based classical music experts and musicians. The pre-concert lectures are hosted in the Adrienne Arsht Center’s Peacock Education Center (inside the Knight Concert Hall) prior to every concert in the series.

Island City Stage Celebrates 15th Anniversary Season New Season Features A Signature Camp Revival, A Nostalgic Broadway Musical And An Off-Broadway Salacious Satire Plus A World Premiere Island City Stage, an awardwinning theatre company, will celebrate its 15th Anniversary Season with a captivating and eclectic collection of works. The 2026 - 2027 Season features a signature camp revival, a nostalgic Broadway musical, a world premiere of a biting political satire by a South Florida artist, an off-Broadway study in murderous mayhem, and a timely classic play. This season is designed to engage audiences through cryptic calamity, familial yearning, hilarious hijinks and dramatic royal scheming. “As we approach our 15th Season, I am reminded about why the stories we tell are so
important,” said Andy Rogow, Artistic Director of Island City Stage. “15 years ago, marriage equality was just being made legal, acceptance of LGBTQ+ community members in high schools, workplaces and religious institutions was becoming the norm rather than the outlier, and it became possible to build a theatre company rooted in the LGBTQ+ experience. Fast forward to today as LGBTQ+ acceptance is trending downward and public policies are actively trying to silence and censor our stories and existence. Island City Stage provides a vital refuge and megaphone that encourages our community and
