The Who's "Tommy"

The Who's "Tommy" is the undisputed king of radical rock musicals and was the first of its kind to set a new and provocative trend for writers and composers in musical theatre.

Having witnessed the murder in the reflection of a mirror, the traumatized 4 year old is left deaf, dumb and blind. From this point, Tommy is propelled along an amazing journey through the 40's, 50's and 60's toward his eventual manhood and the reconnection with his sentient being. This production is presented by FIU Theatre & Dance Department. Performances are Thurs, Fri and Sat at 8 p.m. and Sun at 2 p.m. Tickets are General Admission $18; Seniors and FIU Students and Alumni $15.

The Who's "Tommy"

The Who's "Tommy" is the undisputed king of radical rock musicals and was the first of its kind to set a new and provocative trend for writers and composers in musical theatre.

Having witnessed the murder in the reflection of a mirror, the traumatized 4 year old is left deaf, dumb and blind. From this point, Tommy is propelled along an amazing journey through the 40's, 50's and 60's toward his eventual manhood and the reconnection with his sentient being. This production is presented by FIU Theatre & Dance Department. Performances are Thurs, Fri and Sat at 8 p.m. and Sun at 2 p.m. Tickets are General Admission $18; Seniors and FIU Students and Alumni $15.

This Friday Oct 12 LABOOM Comes To Miami!! GRAND OPENING RSVP
An Entire City Named 'Miami'
Went BOOM!!!
The fun doesn't stop when the sun goes down, it just begins!! It's said that LABOOM will have something for everyone, and this is especially true after dark. LABOOM will redefine the Miami nightlife on four different levels!
Friday Nights in Miami have not been the same for a little while, so we had to try and do something about that. We took a poll through a national media company and 85% of Miami Residents prefer to party "away from South Beach" on Friday Nights.
So FRIDAYS ARE MEANT TO BE LOCAL!!
Are You Ready For LABOOM?

1st time guests...

Book Club from Daily Candy- Into the Wild October 17, 2007
Beginner’s Luck
First Course Book Club Launches
Congratulations: Hooked on Phonics worked for you.
So why haven’t you read anything since that didn’t require you to take a pop quiz after each chapter?
Get back in the habit this month by signing up for First Course. The new book club series was created to attract the young and the reading restless (girls and boys) and show them that talking about a book doesn’t have to feel like school.
In fact, the only time you’ll have to raise your hand is for a refill on that glass of wine, which, in addition to appetizers, will be served during the meeting. The other twist: Every selection is one that’s recently been turned into a movie. For example, up first is Into the Wild, by Jon Krakauer.
That’s: Crak-ow-er.
First Course meets 7 p.m., Wednesday, October 17, at Books & Books, 265 Aragon Avenue, Coral Gables. To R.S.V.P., call 305-442-4408 or e-mail bookclubs@booksandbooks.com.
