Miami is a city of reinvention—a place where dreamers have come for over a century, lured by sun-drenched shores and the promise of something greater. However, few people know just how wild and thrilling the city’s earliest days were. That’s where June Thomson Morris  comes in. Morris, a multiple Emmy-winning journalist, storyteller, and Miami native, has spent her life uncovering and preserving history through the power of narrative. Her latest project, Greetings from Paradise , is more than a play—it’s a time machine, transporting audiences back to the roaring 1920s, when Miami was booming, fortunes were being made (and lost), and the idea of paradise was up for grabs. On April 29, 2025 , Greetings from Paradise  will premiere as the marquee event for Coral Gables’ 100th Anniversary  at the Actors’ Playhouse , kicking off a four-night run at the renowned Miracle Theatre . But this isn’t just any opening night. The Centennial Celebration’s exclusive VIP experience  invites guests to immerse themselves in the era with a pre-show reception, an intimate Q&A with Morris, and a dazzling black-tie, 1920s-themed gala dinner on Miracle Mile, featuring celebrity chefs . It’s set to be one of the most anticipated cultural events of the year. Book your reservation for Opening Night Dinner Theater online through the Coral Gables Chamber of Commerce .  For Morris, Greetings from Paradise  is deeply personal. The play is inspired by the true story of her grandparents, Lucy Mae and Robert Thomson , whose lives intersected with some of the most influential figures in early Miami. Morris grew up listening to her grandmother’s stories about how, at just 19, she boarded Henry Flagler’s Florida East Coast Railway and traveled alone from Indiana to Miami—something not many 19-year-olds do. Waiting for Lucy at the station was Morris’ grandfather, a man Lucy barely knew. That moment changed everything—not just for Lucy, but for the whole family and for the city itself. Their love story unfolds against the backdrop of Miami’s explosive growth in the 1920s. Audiences will “meet” the real-life visionaries who shaped South Florida— George Merrick, the mastermind behind Coral Gables; Carl Fisher, the driving force behind Miami Beach; and Edward ‘Doc’ Dammers, a key figure in Miami’s early development .  The 80-minute, one-act play brings this history to life in a fast-paced, visually stunning production, capturing the ambition, excess, and resilience of the people who built Miami. It’s a story about risk, love, and the pursuit of something bigger than yourself – something that is still true about Miami today. A Life Built on Storytelling Morris’ career has always been about capturing and sharing powerful stories. A Northwestern University Medill School of Journalism  graduate, she spent years as a television anchor and reporter, covering major national events for NBC and ABC. Her work earned her regional Emmy Awards and Press Club honors, but she always knew she wanted to do more than just report history—she wanted to preserve it. Her storytelling expertise eventually led her to a second career in video production and marketing , developing impactful campaigns for The Allen Morris Company  and South Florida nonprofits. She also founded Friends of Gables High , an initiative dedicated to preserving Coral Gables Senior High School , where she once produced a viral video that spurred action to improve the school’s conditions. A Celebration of Miami’s Centennial As Greetings from Paradise  prepares to take the stage, the excitement is palpable. The Coral Gables Chamber of Commerce and the City of Coral Gables  have chosen it as the official marquee event  of the city’s centennial, a testament to its cultural significance. Following opening night, additional performances will run from April 30 – May 3, 2025 , giving audiences multiple chances to experience Miami’s past like never before. Be Part of History Tickets for Greetings from Paradise  are available now at   actorsplayhouse.org   coralgableschamber.org  or by calling 305-444-9293.

That’s the thing about slumps. Most of the time, they end. Unfortunately, that goes for both teams. While Monday night may have been Miami’s worst three-point shooting night of the season, it wasn’t that much better for the Hawks. Tonight was the mirror reflection of the previous matchup, both sides finding their offense early on. Andrew Wiggins got things going with a pair of jumpers before Duncan Robinson and Haywood Highsmith – mostly out of the rotation in previous weeks, then entering the game with two immediate offensive boards and a corner three – really kicked things into gear with seven combined threes off the bench in the first half, Tyler Herro more than making up for his own cold night with a 6-of-10 start for 17 points. The HEAT were up to 11-of-19 from deep, Atlanta not far behind at 8-of-16. The issue, then, was that Miami spent most of the first half trading buckets with the Hawks just as they had down the stretch of Monday’s loss, and the Hawks were doing it while getting into the paint a little more often. As the HEAT gained an 11-point lead thanks to Robinson’s second-quarter run, that lead evaporated rather quickly even as Erik Spoelstra went to the zone defense for one of the first elongated stretches since the trade deadline. All tied at 65 at the break, neither side with much of a claim to answers for the other. Not the best start to the second half as Miami opened with a shot clock violation, the Hawks jumping out to a short advantage. A few minutes later the HEAT returned the favor, their best defensive possession of the night coming out of a timeout as they forced a 24-second violation of their own. More back-and-forth for much of the quarter, free-throws again helping Miami’s cause as Atlanta struggled to keep hands to themselves. Then came the threes, again, two from Davion Mitchell – including one of the stepback variety – and another from Robinson, off another Highsmith second chance, placing the HEAT back up eight. Atlanta’s threes eventually cooled. Miami’s didn’t. And so the HEAT were up 14 going into the fourth, 17-of-30 from deep in all, their 107 points through three quarters tying the franchise record. Just three minutes into the fourth, Mitchell had tied his career high with his fifth three (on five attempts) and the HEAT were cruising, up 18 with 20 threes on the ledger. No comeback for Atlanta, not even close, as the HEAT take it, 131-109. Tyler Herro and Bam Adebayo had strong, efficient nights, combining for 44 points on 28 attempts, but this game was really about the contributions of everyone else around them. There was Robinson,  breaking out of his own little slump – he always breaks out of his slumps, eventually – with 24 points on 6-of-13 shooting. There was Highsmith, returning to the rotation after a bit of a hiatus, collecting four possession-shifting offensive boards and hitting 4-of-5 from deep on his way to 45 points. There was Wiggins, getting to the line for 10 attempts on his way to 15 points on nine shots. And then there was Mitchell, 5-of-5 from deep for 20 points. You don’t come just short of a franchise record for threes behind just one or two players. It takes a village to convert at volume, and with a 142.4 Offensive Rating (with 39 assists on 45 makes) the HEAT just followed up one of their worst scoring games of the season with one of their very best, both instances coming against the same team. What was also interesting was how the rotation shook out, Erik Spoelstra adjusting on the fly once again. Early on it was Kyle Anderson, Alec Burks and Jaime Jaquez Jr. all getting the regular minutes, but as Highsmith (team-high plus-31) and Robinson caught fire Spoelstra shifted the plan, effectively playing a seven-man rotation in the second half until the game was out of reach. That’s been the game-to-game decision chain for Spoelstra each night, finding the right combination in game and rolling with it, and tonight he rolled with a player in Robinson who had seen his minutes fluctuate and another in Highsmith who had seen his minutes gone nearly completely of late. Credit them for turning things around, and Spoelstra for remaining flexible in search of wins. This was not much of a night for defense until that timeout midway through the third period which Miami followed up by forcing Atlanta into a shot-clock violation. From then on, Atlanta struggled to get much of anything going forward, much less a clean look from three. Another change from Spoelstra, this time introducing more zone defense than the team had played in nearly a month. The Hawks at first seemed comfortable against the zone but as the perimeter pressure mounted and Trae Young was forced to play off his back foot, there wasn’t much else to rely on. Credit Mitchell there, too. It’s no surprise that he’s been a plus defender in Miami’s system given that his style of defense, pressure and strength, fits their scheme and philosophy, but these are the game where it really shines through. For as much as Young was calm and comfortable down the stretch on Monday and through the first half of this game, in control of his offense as ever, it was Mitchell who turned up the intensity, without fouling, and took Young out of the game in the second half, to the tune of Young shooting 4-of-12 with four turnovers and a -11 plus-minus.

“Miriam Schapiro: 1967–1972” features a concise selection of Schapiro’s monumental paintings, examining a crucial period of development in the work of the legendary feminist artist. The works on view from this time see Schapiro’s hard-edge geometric abstraction evolve into her gendered, anthropomorphic “central core imagery” and lay the groundwork for her explorations of collage and craft within the Pattern and Decoration movement. The exhibition showcases Schapiro’s pioneering work exploring early digital image production technologies, presaging contemporary artists’ practices today in the realm of feminist and digital art. Miriam Schapiro, Docking #2, 1971. Acrylic on canvas. 72 x 80 in. © 2025 Estate of Miriam Schapiro / Artists Rights Society (ARS), New York. Courtesy Eric Firestone Gallery. Feminist art of the 1970s is often associated with interior spaces and domesticity, both in terms of its subject matter as well as the space it originates from—artists’ studios commonly located in living rooms or bedrooms. While Schapiro, an integral figure in second-wave American feminist art, grappled extensively with these themes, her unique visual language was simultaneously informed by the vast Southern California landscape and her work with the rapidly developing computer technologies of her time. The exhibition includes a group of hard-edge paintings. Works like Canyon (1967) and Rosarita’s Blocks (1968) relate to rock formations and vernacular architecture that Schapiro encountered after moving from New York to San Diego. Also on view is Big Ox (1967), one of her first “central core” paintings. With its vivid orange “X” set against a silver ground with a circular opening at its center, the form sparked new discourse about what an inherently female iconography could be and about how female artists could assert themselves. In 1969, Schapiro began working with the computer science department at the University of California, San Diego, where she continued developing the geometric form featured in Big Ox . Here, Schapiro used early digital technologies to create drawings of interlocking rectangular and rounded volumes, which she would translate into paintings. In her “Mylar Series” (1970–71) enamel and tape compositions appear to float on monochromatic, reflective mylar surfaces. “I saw the machine as an aid to thought,” Schapiro later reflected. “The [computer] paintings were a culmination to me of a total self-assertion begun in Ox .” In the exhibition, Big Ox is accompanied by a series of large-scale paintings that show three-dimensional forms rendered in hues of red or yellow. Through distorted perspective and dramatic angles, the shapes appear monumental in scale. The exhibition concludes with two early Pattern and Decoration works that point toward the next phase of Schapiro’s practice. Lady Gengi’s Maze and Flying Carpet (both 1972) combine geometric renderings of architectural elements with collaged fabric. The foreground structure in Lady Gengi’s Maze resembles an “X,” while the collaged fabric in Flying Carpet is organized around a circular opening at its center, both expanding on motifs established in Big Ox and hinting at the textile-based works that would define Schapiro’s later career. Miriam Schapiro (b. 1923, Toronto; d. 2015, Hampton Bays, New York), a key figure of American feminist art, is perhaps best known for running the Feminist Art Program at the California Institute of the Arts alongside Judy Chicago, which produced the collaborative installation Womanhouse (1972). She would become a leading voice in the Pattern and Decoration movement, which championed motifs and techniques rejected by the Western canon due to their associations with feminine labor and craft vocations. Her solo exhibitions include “Miriam Schapiro: A Retrospective” at the Lowe Museum, University of Miami (2001), and “Miriam Schapiro: A Woman’s Way” at the National Museum of American Art, Washington, DC (1997). Her work is held in major public collections worldwide, including the Metropolitan Museum of Art, New York; Whitney Museum of American Art, New York; Museum of Modern Art, New York; Museum of Fine Arts, Boston; and the Peter and Irene Ludwig Collection, Germany. “Miriam Schapiro: 1967–1972” is organized by the Institute of Contemporary Art, Miami, and curated by Stephanie Seidel, Monica and Blake Grossman Curator, and Amanda Morgan, Assistant Curator, Exhibitions and Publications.

De La Soul are a revolutionary force in hip-hop. Upon its arrival in 1989, their debut album, 3 Feet High and Rising, sounded like nothing else, with a colorful, almost collaged production aesthetic and rhyme styles that were equal parts clever and goofy. At the time, this made De La Soul a gentler, more inventive, one-of-a-kind presence in a rap landscape largely defined by aggression and righteous anger. De La Soul incorporated not only funk and soul, but also pop, jazz, reggae and psychedelia samples into their strange and alluring patchwork of sounds. The group continued down their own path on their own terms as trends in rap came and went. Their 1990s output, including works such as 1991’s De La Soul Is Dead and 1996’s Stakes Is High, inspired generations of artists. As founding members of the Native Tongues collective alongside A Tribe Called Quest, Jungle Brothers and Queen Latifah, De La Soul were pioneers of a hip-hop movement that has influenced countless artists. After 2004’s The Grind Date, De La Soul went on hiatus, but returned in 2016 with the crowdfunded And the Anonymous Nobody as well as the occasional stand-alone track. In 2023, after years of legal battles over rights and ownership, De La Soul finally regained access to their back catalog and released some of their classic albums on streaming services for the first time. Opening the show will be Stretch Armstrong with a special DJ set. New York native Stretch Armstrong is an internationally recognized DJ and cultural influencer with an incomparable career. After DJing in clubs in the late ’80s as a teenager, Stretch became a household name via the Stretch and Bobbito radio show, which introduced the world to artists such as Nas, Jay-Z, Eminem, Wu-Tang Clan, Busta Rhymes, Lauryn Hill and The Notorious B.I.G. It's not uncommon to hear someone say that the first time they heard an anthemic song or important artist was from Stretch. As a club DJ who has never been confined to one genre, Stretch, a progenitor of “open format” (incorporating a multitude of genres), has spun all over the world for nearly three decades.
