Urban theater is rapidly developing and proving itself as a legitimate box-office draw. The market has shown itself to be quite lucrative, with playwrights and directors like Tyler Perry and Gary Guidry grossing millions for their productions. This week, Miami celebrates the exciting theater scene with the Urban Theatre Entertainment Festival and Awards. It all starts tonight with the Celebrity Gala at the Hyatt Regency. Hosted by singer/actress Melba Moore and actress Jo Marie Payton (better known as Harriet Winslow from Family Matters, which is just awesome), the night kicks off with a "Parade of Stars" and is followed by a dinner, an awards ceremony, and a performance of E.P. McKnight's I Question America. That's a lot to take in in one night.
