This is your last chance to catch “Viva La Parranda” produced by Miami New Drama at the Colony Theatre on Lincoln Road in Miami Beach. Dubbed a documentary musical, “Viva La Parranda” is an immersive cultural experience, with music, dance, storytelling, and food. Real-life members of La Parranda el Clavo — an amateur, virtuosic band from a small coastal town in the Venezuelan jungle — present the compelling and heartwarming stories of their lives and history. They even cook dishes from their homeland on stage that the audience then gets to sample. “Viva La Parranda” runs through Sunday, Aug. 16.
