Sobe Institute of the Arts

Superb performances. The students are well trained and always a delight to listen to. The director really cares about the institute and its students and you can tell.

Sobe Arts is a venue for many different forms of performing arts: live music, theatre, dance and film. Sobe Arts is headed by a guy who has a Ph.D. from Princeton, an MFA from California Institute of the Arts, and a long list of other accomplishments. If that wasn’t enough, the performers are all professional locals who have had international recognition. Yup… if you haven’t heard about this venue, then it will be a pleasant surprise for you.
Tonight I saw the «Grand Opening Cabaret» performance. This had a mix of many skits, solo singing by Montserrat Franco whose voice just blew me away, and fascinating film montage. The films were classic Betty Boop, Bugs Bunny and Daffy Duck cartoons that included specific references to Miami Beach. This was a big hit with the crowd.
Go see a show here! The price is so inexpensive that you could pay for two tickets here for the same amount as a cocktail at the W just down the street. But I guarantee you’ll have a better time at Sobe Arts.
