GableStage outdid themselves with their current production, The Lehman Trilogy, and that’s saying a lot considering I’ve been a subscriber for many years and have always enjoyed their plays. Written in Italian by playwright-novelist Stefano Massini, it has been translated in 24 languages since its debut in 1918 and was a Tony award winner. It’s the story of immigrant brothers who came to the US in 1844 and created their American dream, navigating tumultuous times in American history to create one of the largest and most innovative investment banks in the world.  Happily the play is extended to April 24.
Who would have thought you could fashion a wonderfully creative event from an artist palette? Think 55 artists doing very inventive art works using a simple palette in two shapes, and you can see them on display and even buy the works starting at $500 at the Lowe Art Museum’s signature fundraiser, Palette Project Evening of Art on February 22. Lots more at this special evening, read about it and check out a gallery of some of the palettes.
Downtown Miami is on the move, slowly but surely. That will surely accelerate with the staged opening of The Miami Worldcenter, but in the meantime there’s a growing number of interesting, reasonably priced restaurants, trendy bars, shopping, and of course Miami icons for culture and the performing and visual arts. Here’s a guide to what to do in downtown Miami,  some of my favorites – new finds and the tried and true. For the listings for the arts and entertainment, you can find current and upcoming exhibits and shows highlighted. Want to know more about the restaurants?

In case you haven't been to the art fairs yet, here are (in my opinion) some standout works you may want to check out in this the last day of the fairs. In most cases I've also indicated the artist's name and gallery name  so, even if you're not going or already went, you may want to check them out online. Note that other fairs were well worth the visit, but these were the ones I managed to go to (too much else going on).
Even if you've been there before, there are more things to do in the Miami Design District as well as new shops, restaurants and eateries, including an uber fashion book and magazine store with cafe.  Here's an updated rundown of my picks:
