(I'm sorry. These are not live/hyper links. You have to highlight them, then enter them as destinations. Or, you can go to youtube.com yourself, and look for Dance Heginbotham.)
The South Miami-Dade Cultural Arts Center is 27 miles from my house. That means it's 27 miles from your house. It's in Cutler Bay. It's a long way to go to hear a concert or see a show. And it's very well worth the trip. It's a magnificent venue, ticket prices are low, parking is free and easy, and the people who work there could not be friendlier and more welcoming. You feel like a treasured guest at SMDCAC. It's a treat and a joy to go there, for anything they put on. Their managing director is Eric Fliss, who has an wonderful ear and eye for talent, and who lines up amazing show after amazing show, and incredible season after incredible season. A couple of times a year, I wind up at SMDCAC two days in a row. Once or twice, I have seen two different shows there on the same day. I can't get enough of the place.
This coming Saturday night, they're presenting Dance Heginbotham. Here's what SMDCAC says about this company: "Dance Heginbotham is celebrated for its vibrant athleticism, humor, and theatricality, as well as its commitment to musical collaborations. For this Miami performance, Dance Heginbotham will be accompanied on stage by musical guest performers the Amernet String Quartet, guitarist Marco Sartor, and Celia Fonta of Siempre Flamenco alongside Castanet performers." The music is by Lalo, von Dohnanyi, and Boccherini.
Ticket prices are $25-$45, depending on where you sit. You will pay double or triple at the Arsht, for a less interesting show, you'll deal with parking, and you'll put up with a component of discomfort (seats are too small).
SMDCAC is offering a 15% discount. The promotional code is DANCEH. You're now under $40 for the best seats in the house. Do yourself a favor.
As a matter of fact, this very Saturday is one of those days I'll be at SMDCAC twice. In the afternoon, there's a BBQ honoring "the overlooked community of Goulds." The event is called "The Unvoiced Community: BBQ Men and Women of Goulds." At night, I'll be at Dance Heginbotham.
