CHINATOWN FESTIVAL

Dragon parade

Chinatown Miami was a fun and well produced event by The Playground Theatre in Miami Shores.  Celebrating the premier of play, The Red Thread directed by Stephanie Ansin.  More here.

Fantastic turnout right from the start! People actually wanted to learn about what you do.

Here's a photo gallery so you can experience even if you didn't make it!

Sand box where the actors rehearse & hopefully where they'll host my class and then attend the play as a special evening!

CookingWithKidsMiami, flourless black bean brownies and other goodies!

A Place 4 Kids booth with Wok Star.

Maria Cummins explains what A Place 4 Kids, her new space to teach kids cooking is all about.  Hopefully, she'll be hosting me there in the future.

 

I didn't expect so many folks to notice my baby photo! Many signed up for classes, we'll see.

Jefe's Original, one of many food trucks to feed hungry crowd!

Jairo decorated the sand box space above and did a nice job of his booth with this decorative flower arrangement.

FREE CHINATOWN Event Launching The Red Thread

The Playground Theatre is showcasing their new play, The Red Thread in a very unique way! They're bringing a CHINATOWN MIAMI event to Miami Shores this Sunday, April 17 from 12-6pm!

My friend & Wok Star cooking class alumni, Maria Cummins has invited me to participate in her tent for CookingWithKidsMiami, a cooking school for kids, except I'll be teaching adults! The tent will be set up outside her retail store and cooking school, A Place 4 Kids at 9612 NE 2nd Avenue, right on the main drag!

I'll have my Asian decorations up as well as my Wok Star Kit and a sign up sheet for cooking classes when it starts at her school! Do drop by for surprise giveaways or a chat and especially if you have any burning questions about woks or stir fry techniques! I will NOT be giving a cooking demo just so you know.

Read review of The Red Thread here. I can't wait to see it, who wants to go? But, not that night for me, I'll probably be too tired.

Full details with map of all the fun things to do there including music acts, green market, craftspeople, kids stage culminating with a dragon parade! Of course, any event in Miami has to have gourmet food trucks, such a great idea, need to feed people! I'm very impressed how organized this is.
