Spa and Salon at PGA National host Broadway Divas under the Stars to benefit AIDS Wellness Advocacy

 

PALM BEACH GARDENS, Florida — PGA National Resort & Spa announces Broadway Divas under the Stars benefitting Compass of Palm Beach County’s HIV and AIDS Wellness Advocacy program. The event will take place Saturday, April 20th from 6pm to 9pm at the Spa at PGA National.

Guests will enjoy a live musical theatrical presentation by a variety of “female divas” with Salon at PGA National Stylist Scott Boyce in a starring role. Scott along with spa employees led by Spa Director, Cecilia Tate, banded together to produce the event in order to raise money for a charity near and dear to the employees’ hearts. In addition to live entertainment, this Spa after hours event features cocktails and broadway bites, spa tours, tarot card readings, vendor shopping, a silent auction, goodie bags and giveaways.

The talented group of female impersonators is donating their time and talents to the show to benefit a great cause, Compass’s HIV and AID’s Wellness Advocacy Program.  Some may recognize some of the divas for their past sold out performances at the Lake Worth Playhouse for the past six years. During this upscale show, the dazzling divas will channel some of the most popular Broadway show tunes of our time, honoring the legendary performers with several song and dance numbers.

Cecilia Tate, Spa Director, says “I am so excited to be able to support our staff and Compass on this joint initiative.  The event will benefit AIDS/HIV, a still very present disease that affects many women, men and children here in Palm Beach County.  I am proud to support Compass’ mission to diminish stereotypes by challenging long-standing misconceptions.“

Broadway Divas Under the Stars is open to the public. Tickets are $25 and should be purchased in advance by visiting www.broadwaydivas.eventbrite.com or by calling 561-627-3111.  Your ticket includes the show, one complimentary cocktail or refreshment, diva bites, and one goody bag to each attendee.
