EXPERIENCE

1) If you're in the mood for doing something different on a Friday or Saturday night in September, we suggest you go see Tony n' Tina's Wedding at Mansion. This ongoing interactive theatre event, created in 1988, is like no other you've seen before. For those of you who like being in the middle of all the action, this is the show for you. You'll feel as if you're attending the actual ceremony of the union of an Italian and Cuban family. Mingling with relatives and friends is expected as you enjoy dancing to a bilingual Caribbean infusion of music. The lines between reality and fantasy will be blurred, but don't forget to grab your very real piece of cake! For tickets and more information, visit www.tonyandtinamiami.com.

2) Along with resident DJ Chicco Secci, experience Swedish house music producer John Dahlback at Mansion on Saturday, September 19th. Although younger than many in his field, he also started much earlier than most. Recording his first demo at age 15(!), he's had ample time to hone his skills, and will surely deliver an amazing set at Mansion. Tickets are available at www.wanttickets.com.
