We're a little late because of the July 4th Holiday - but better late than never! Enjoy your Monday reading list.
The Quarter-Century Mark
Mario Ernesto will shoot me a dirty look for putting it that way, but his International Hispanic Theatre Festival is in its 25th year. Read about it in The Miami Herald.
...huh?
The Drama Queen reports that Marco Ramirez' Broadsword has finally had its world premiere - in Atlanta, Georgia. Like many people who've seen it staged not once, but twice, by Mad Cat, you may be confuzzled. But it turns out that those where "developmental" productions, and certainly there were differences between those two productions. Adjectives aside, we saw it first, and it's hard to imagine anyone doing it better.
Talk about Green...
BroadwayWorld reports that Whole Foods Market raised over $4,000 for Actors' Playhouse last week.
The Miami Theatre Examiner reminds us that Babalu is coming to Miami, and it's bringing Miamian Raúl Esparza with it.
The Palm Beach Daily News reports that Florida Stage has finished its move to the Kravis Center.
Looking for a Few Good Plays

Palm Beach Play Readings
The Shiny Sheet reports that the Four Arts Society is presenting a series of play readings and performances.
Miami Artzine was at The Women's Theatre Project, and they have a gallery up from last weekend's Second Annual Lesbian Play Reading Festival.
Is The Gusman Going Down?
CBS4.com and The Miami Herald reports that Mayor Tomás "Miami is not a City" Regalado wants to pull all city funding out of the historic crown jewel of downtown Miami. All $478,000 of it. To be fair, the former Olympia theatre has been poorly managed, running shows only 85 nights a year. But with solid management and 52 weeks of programming, The Gusman Center would be the key to reviving a blighted downtown in any other city in the country. Regalado says the city can't afford; someone with even a lick of vision would see that the city can't afford not to.
