THE BEST OF SOUTH FLORIDA!
In an effort to support and expand the performance opportunities for stellar local artists and arts organizations, the Adrienne Arsht Center launches a series of unique partnerships this season. The collaborations provide a world-class stage for established and emerging Miami-based artists to showcase their work and can also include artistic guidance, marketing support and, in some cases, financial assistance. Partnerships for the 2010-2011 season include a second co-presentation with Mad Cat Theatre, following the success of BroadSword in the 2009-2010 season; the premiere engagement of Miami’s newest artistic collaborative, Zoetic Stage; and showcase opportunities for groups that have long represented Miami’s diverse performing arts community (Brazz Dance Theater, M Ensemble), plus ongoing partnerships with City Theatre and Teatro Avante.

GOING GREEN THE WONG WAY – World Premiere!
November 18-20, 2010
Tickets: $35
Performance art meets stand-up comedy when Miami’s award-winning Mad Cat Theatre Company returns to the Adrienne Arsht Center! This time, Mad Cat Theatre founder and artistic director Paul Tei teams up with irreverent West Coast performer Kristina Wong in her side-splitting comedy Going Green the Wong Way. Described as “Brutal but hilarious…a woman who takes life’s absurdities very seriously,” Wong burns up the stage with signature humor and inventive theatrics as she takes the audience along the hilarious pitfalls and triumphs of sustainable living. This is a love story about a girl and the biodiesel car that betrayed her, a vehicularly-impaired Robinson Crusoe travelogue across America, and an earth-scorching treatise on global consumerism. Along the way she’s guided by shifty hipsters fronting as mechanics, oil-soaked birds, and catcalling DUI lawyers.
Tickets go on sale to Adrienne Arsht Center members on August 30, and to the general public on September 12. Tickets may be purchased through the Adrienne Arsht Center box office by calling (305) 949-6722, or online at www.arshtcenter.org.
