Miami, FL - On Saturday, October 11, 2008, the Adrienne Arsht Center for the Performing Arts of Miami-Dade County will celebrate the opening of its third season with its “Take Center Stage” Gala. The spectacular event will include a cocktail reception, a gala dinner featuring performances that unite the Center’s resident companies and the Center’s own resident artist Jencarlos Canela for the first time on one stage, and a magnificent after-party. This will be the first gala for the Adrienne Arsht Center since announcing its new name in January 2008. Proceeds from the gala will benefit the education and outreach programs of the Center.
