Caribbean Musical Showcase is just one of the many hot acts schedule for Lauderhill’s new premiere performance space. On March 19, the hit, explosive percussion show STOMP opens, with the eight-member troupe uses everything but conventional percussion instruments – matchboxes, wooden poles, brooms, garbage cans, Zippo lighters, hubcaps – to fill the stage with magnificent rhythms. Then for music fans nostalgic for good old 90’s jams, the Center will feature legendary boy band, Boyz II Men, with none other than special guest En Vogue, on April 23.
