CARBONELL AWARDS to Hold 45th Annual Ceremony at Lauderhill Performing Arts Center, November 14

Fantel Music to Produce the Entertainment-Packed Event

(South Florida – May 17, 2022) Jeff Kiltie, board president of the Carbonell Awards, South Florida’s Theatre & Arts Honors, today announced that the 45th annual awards ceremony will be held on Monday, November 14 at 7:30 pm at theLauderhill Performing Arts Center at 3800 NW 11th Place, Lauderhill, FL 33311.

“Although we held a virtual awards ceremony in mid-2020, this will be our first live, in-person event since April 2019,” says Kiltie. “Everybody’s favorite ‘Theatre Prom’ is back—and we’re looking forward to a truly joyous celebration at our new and larger location so that more friends, fans, family members, and theater lovers can join us.”

“Working with the Carbonell Awards is sure to be an exciting, creative, artistic adventure, and the City of Lauderhill is extremely pleased to be a part of the process,” says Desorae Giles-Smith, Lauderhill City Manager. “We are proud that the Lauderhill Performing Arts Center is the venue of choice for an organization that highlights and encourages the performing arts throughout South Florida. We can’t wait to celebrate with everyone at this year’s in-person event.”

Several hundred actors, musicians, performers, writers, directors, techies, producers, reviewers, designers, specialty artists, and diehard theater fans are expected to attend the glittery, entertainment-packed event that is South Florida’s version of Broadway’s Tony Awards®.

Fantel Music, the acclaimed South Florida producer of both live and virtual music and theater presentations, has been hired to produce the Carbonell Awards Ceremony this November, just as they did the virtual event in 2020. The wife-and-husband team of Caryl Fantel (music director, event producer, pianist, teacher, composer)  and Roy Fantel (drummer, percussionist, teacher, video-audio producer) have successfully developed, directed or produced numerous concerts, shows, and staged events throughout South Florida.

At this year’s entertainment-packed Carbonell Ceremony, awards will be presented in 20 competitive categories. A variety of Special Awards including The George Abbott Award for Outstanding Achievement in the Arts honoring an individual (or team) who has contributed significantly to the artistic and cultural development of the region, and the newVinnette Carroll Award honoring an individual, theater or organization for significant achievement in advancing the cause of diversity, equality, and inclusion in South Florida theater, will also be presented.

This will be the first Carbonell Awards under a new, more transparent process that replaced the previous two-tier judging system. Judges are now assigned primarily—but not exclusively—to their home counties thus maintaining the regional integrity of the awards. In addition, Judges will be utilizing a scoring rubric in evaluating on-stage and back-stage achievements, adapted from the highly respected ariZoni Theatre Awards of Excellence. 

In addition, the Carbonell Awards added more than a dozen new judges from Broward, Miami-Dade and Palm Beach counties, including a number of BIPOC and multi-cultural judges.

At the awards ceremony on November 14, the Carbonells will present nominated musical theater performances from the recently completed theater season, as well as a preview snippet of live performances from current or upcoming productions.

As a result of this change, the awards ceremony will not only celebrate the excellence of recent productions, but it will also be a valuable opportunity to promote and sell tickets for current or upcoming shows. At the same time, smaller/newer/BIPOC professional theaters can take advantage of this performance opportunity to showcase their talent to the entire South Florida theatrical community.

The 2022 Jack Zink Scholarship winners, event sponsorship information, and how to purchase tickets to the Carbonell Awards Ceremony 2022 will be announced soon. The list of this season’s Carbonell nominations and special award recipients will be announced at the conclusion of this season’s evaluation period at the end of September. 

About The Carbonell Awards

The Carbonell Awards fosters the artistic growth of professional theater in South Florida by celebrating the diversity of our theater artists, providing educational scholarships, and building audience appreciation and civic pride by highlighting achievements of our theater community. More than 20 professional theater companies in Broward, Miami-Dade and Palm Beach Counties participate in the awards process every year. The Carbonell Awards also celebrate the accomplishments of local artistic leaders by presenting several Special Awards.

Along with New York’s Drama Desk and Chicago’s Joseph Jefferson Awards, the Carbonell Awards are among the nation’s senior regional arts awards and predate others, including Washington, D.C.’s Helen Hayes Awards. The Carbonell Awards are named after Manuel Carbonell, an internationally renowned sculptor, who designed the original solid bronze and marble award in 1976, the signature trophy that is given annually to Carbonell Award winners. Over the last 45 years, the Carbonell family has donated more than $250,000 in awards. For more information, please visitwww.carbonellawards.org.

Match Dad’s Drink to His Outfit This Father’s Day

Palm Beach Gardens, Fla. (May 16, 2022) – The time of year has come to celebrate the men in your life, and what better way to do that than by helping them coordinate their clothes with a cocktail? Tommy Bahama has you covered with a variety of styles for the beach lover or weekend warrior, to the grill master and golf pro. To have dad feeling his best while looking his best, make him a matching cocktail served at Tommy Bahama Marlin Bar, which opens at The Gardens Mall in late 2022!

Clean and Classic

Tommy Bahama’s polo shirts offer traditional, clean-lined silhouettes with modern features like sun protection and moisture wicking. The striped styles also offer a good dose of color without getting crazy. This look is perfect for the golf course or the backyard, so when dad is done golfing or grilling, the Cucumber Smash is a refreshing, relaxing option.

Fun and Floral

If lively and tropical are more your man’s speed, look to some of Tommy Bahama’s signature camp shirts. They are lightweight, breezy, and never fail to impress. Match the shirt’s boldness with Tommy’s take on the G & T, and pair its flair with fresh fruit garnishes.

Pastels and Pinkies Up

Made from soft premium linen for comfort in warmer weather, the Sea Glass Breezer is pigment printed with solid blues, yellows, or corals for an incredible look that gets better over time. The crisp cut of its collar, cuffs, and hem deserves an equally elite cocktail pairing. The Grapefruit Basil Martini is spot-on, offering a sweet, sophisticated twist on the classic drink.

Mix and Match

If you can’t decide (or want to try them all), browse the store and look for the Riviera Azure Marlin Bar camp shirt, with a half-dozen drinks and recipes printed right on the back. For other fun prints of punches and libations, look to the Iced Slate Bahama Coast Cocktail Hour, Nova Wave Last Call, and Tina Grasdal’s Artist Series ’22 Marlin Bar IslandZone® camp shirts.

Make it a happy and hip Father’s Day this year at Tommy Bahama!

Music, Food, and Family: An Interview with Village Music & Café’s Amazing Chef Brandee Gerber

By Denise Marsh

Village Music & Café is Wellington’s top hotspot for live  music  and music instruction.   In addition, good food combined with good music seems like the perfect  duet. Donna and Steve Willey, co-owners of VM, attribute a lot of their success  to  Brandee Gerber  cooking  her amazing cuisine in the café area.    Brandee has a lot on her “plate”  and yet she still manages to greet the clientele like family.  She literally pours “love” into her cooking and ensures that customers will become “regulars”.    Some of my  favorites are: the chicken quesadilla and Margherita flatbread. I  don’t just eat the food – I relish in it. And I think of how  Brandee has made that connection with her cooking. She truly cooks with “heart.”   Let’s “dig” right in to our interview.

Left to Right: Brandee, Donna and Kari at Village Music & Cafe, a winning team

On the Menu

AW: What is your position at Village Music?  How long have you been there?

BG: I’m the chef there. I have been working here for a little over two years now.  

AW: When did you start showing an interest in cooking? Who taught  you?

BG: I’ve always had a passion for cooking.  I loved to help my mom and grandmother in the kitchen.  In fact, that’s  where I learned so much of what I know. 

 I decided to go to culinary school and that opened up a whole new world of art and creation of food for me.

AW: What is one positive thing about being a chef?  

BG: The most gratifying aspect of what I do is cooking for people who truly love my food.  That’s the best part of cooking for me.

AW:  What are your favorite things to cook?

BG: I love to cook Asian cuisine.  There’s so many variations of it.  It’s also my favorite food to eat.  Also, at Village Music I make a Charcuterie board. It has  assorted Italian meats and a variety of cheeses and an array of vegetables and fresh baked Crostini.  I love creating that and seeing reactions when Kari (our Bartender and main server) puts it down in front of them.  I guess it became my trademark at Village Music.  It’s definitely time consuming, but it’s so worth it!

Charcuterie Board by Brandee Gerber

AW: Have you catered any big events?

BG: I’ve catered the Philadelphia Flower Show and the Book and the Cook event with some celebrity  chefs, also done in Philadelphia.

AW: What are a few secrets about cooking that you are able to share?

BG: Honestly, the first secret to cooking is a love of what you do. You really have to have a passion for it to be successful.  

AW: Do you cook for yourself? 

BG: Sometimes I cook for myself though.  Most of the time though, I don’t feel like it.  I do make a mean bowl of cereal though with a little help from Capt’n  Crunch. (laughing)

AW: What are your future plans for cooking/ being a chef?

BG: My future plans are really just remaining where I am now at VM. I love my job.  I love the artisan style of cooking,  The people who come in to our establishment are some of the best people I’ve ever met.  I get to listen to the greatest local  musicians around as well.  Food and music are my two favorite things except for puppies and kittens.  I couldn’t ask for a better job.  I work side by side with Kari who  bartends and serves; she’s amazing and keeps me sane!  Donna and Steve are the best bosses you could ask for.  They allow me the opportunity to do what I love and show my talent.  I couldn’t ask for a better team.  

Stuffed Mushroom caps by Brandee Gerber

AW: Which chef or chefs have inspired you?

BG: There is definitely a handful of celebrity chefs that I admire.  The chef instructors  I had in culinary school taught me so much and I am grateful for that.  Not to sound cliché, but my biggest inspiration is my mom and grandmom; they both taught me about family food.  To me, the two go hand in hand.

AW: Do you have any other hobbies or interests?

BG: I love to do crafts. I make personalized frames, mainly as gifts, though.  I also do a lot of music inspired art.

AW:  What is something that people might be surprised to learn about you?

BG: I was a radio DJ in Philly.  I had a radio show for a few years that I enjoyed so much.  It was a great experience all around!

If you have never been to Village Music & Café in Wellington you are missing out on a wonderful experience in a friendly atmosphere!  Be sure to stop by and visit Chef Brandee at the bar where she will be cooking up a storm and making you feel most welcome.  Brandee  Gerber is a big part of the Village Music “family” and she welcomes more members.  After all, when it is all said and done, isn’t life  better with music, friends, and family?  I think so!

Blue Space

The sea heals

It brings the pain onshore

And lifts it

Molds it into a wave

That is tossed and tussled

And creates something new

More tangible . . .

More tranquil . . .

Turquoise water

And blue spruce

Antidotes

For the weary soul.
