Miami Nights

Local theater.  Two words that will send almost everone I know running and screaming for the nearest cash bar.  Over the years a number of my friends have invited me out (read: please buy a ticket) to one of there local productions of some play.  At first the idea seemed novel and amusing.  I quickly realized that I would rather have teeth pulled than sit through another local production of David Mamet's (insert anyone of his works that ended up being acetd to a bloody pulp).  So I promised myself "NEVER AGAIN".  So you can imagine my delight when I was asked to attend the opening night of "Hombres En Fin" an all Spanish production written and directed by local playwright Cesar Mite.

I put my skepticism aside and headed over to the Deauville Beach Resort and was very surprised to see the facilities.  Who knew this place had such a great stage?!?!  Once the show began it quickly became immersed in the witty writing, and hysterical interpretation of the characters.  "Hombres En Fin" is a hysterical comedy of errors with quick sharp dialog and some of the funniest one-liners I've heard... ever.  I was near tears at intermission.  Notable performances by Nicholas Machado (as Gustavo Enrique) and Robert Levarmann (as Jorge Enrique), not to mention a cameo by local diva Marytrini.  This is one local show that is worth supporting.  "Hombres En Fin" runs from now until April 4, 2010.  For more information, including tickets go to http://www.hombresenfin.com/.  The Deauville Beach Resort is located at 6701 Collins Avenue, Miami Beach, FL.
