Miami's Mad Cat Theater Presents Mixtape...




I saw this play last weekend, and the run is coming to an end this week with performances Thursday, Friday, and Saturday at 8PM. You simply must go. Mad Cat is full of talent, and the energy and excitement they bring to every performance is evident in 'Mixtape', a group of plays mostly written by local writers (including '3:59', which was previewed to raves at 'A-B(o)MB'), as well as the Borscht Film Festival's Lucas Leyva, whose short play involves Meatloaf.... The short plays all emanate from a musical idea, and the influences range from the Replacements to the musical Sunday in the Park with George(!). That's quite a wide range. There is also a great performance of poetry and lyrics written by Wilco's Jeff Tweedy. For $25, this play should not be missed. There's a cheap donation bar, and a great selection 0f $5 Mad Cat swag.
