Sunday, April 29, from 4-7 PM, FREE: Global Arts Project, Inc. and the Collins Park Neighborhood Association celebrate International Jazz Day in Collins Park, 2100 Collins Ave in Miami Beach.

On stage, she played the role of Mary Magdalene in the national tour of the Broadway musical, Jesus Christ Superstar, earning critical acclaim which led to featured performances throughout the US and Europe....
