MALTZ JUPITER THEATRE TO HOST EXCLUSIVE BENEFIT CONCERT, FEATURING LEGENDARY BROADWAY COMPOSER STEPHEN SCHWARTZ
Rare one-night-only November concert will benefit the not-for-profit Maltz Jupiter Theatre
August 25, 2016 (Jupiter) – You know his music from Wicked, Pippin, Godspell, Pocahontas and The Hunchback of Notre Dame.
Perhaps you also know about his many accolades: four Grammys, three Oscars, four Drama Desk Awards, the Songwriters Hall of Fame and the Broadway Hall of Fame.
But the chance to see Stephen Schwartz perform his music onstage at the Maltz Jupiter Theatre for a one-night-only benefit concert? It’s the kind of opportunity that only comes once in a lifetime.
The composer of Broadway’s most successful musicals will show audiences how he makes magic and defies gravity on Saturday, November 12, as the Theatre’s Fourth Annual Tony Award® Winner Series presents He’s Got Magic to Do: The Music of Stephen Schwartz.
Backed by a ten-piece orchestra and accompanied by Tony Award® winner Debbie Gravitte, Broadway performer Michael McCorry Rose and Scott Coulter – one of New York’s most honored vocalists – patrons won’t want to miss this extraordinary experience.
“We are incredibly honored to continue the Maltz Jupiter Theatre’s benefit concert series by welcoming Stephen Schwartz to our stage,” said Andrew Kato, the Theatre’s producing artistic director and chief executive. “Our benefit concerts have been a wonderful success in recent years with Brian Stokes Mitchell, Chita Rivera and Christine Ebersole. We know that audiences will be more dazzled than ever by the legendary musical brilliance of Stephen Schwartz.”
In addition to writing the music and lyrics for the current Broadway hit Wicked, Schwartz is also known for contributing music and/or lyrics to Godspell, Pippin, The Magic Show, The Baker’s Wife, Working (which he also adapted and directed), Rags and Children of Eden. He collaborated with Leonard Bernstein on the English texts for Bernstein’s Mass and wrote the title song for the play and movie Butterflies are Free. For children, he has written songs for two musicals (Captain Louie and My Son Pinocchio) and has also worked in film, collaborating with Alan Menken on the songs for Disney’s Enchanted, as well as the animated features Pocohontas and The Hunchback of Notre Dame (as well as writing the songs for the DreamWorks animated feature The Prince of Egypt). Schwartz’ first opera, Séance on a Wet Afternoon, was produced at Opera Santa Barbara and New York City Opera. His career is detailed in the popular book “Defying Gravity,” released by Applause Books.
In 2008, Wicked reached its 1,900th performance on Broadway, making Schwartz the only songwriter in Broadway history ever to have three shows run more than 1,900 performances.
Proceeds from the one-night-only concert will benefit the not-for-profit Maltz Jupiter Theatre and its Goldner Conservatory of Performing Arts. As part of the exclusive concert, top sponsors can attend an elegant pre-concert sit-down dinner onsite at the Theatre in The Green Room Club Level Lounge before moving to their VIP seats in the orchestra. The elegant dinner is sponsored by Roe Green and the Roe Green Foundation. After the performance, Schwartz will join the guests for dessert, coffee and cordials. A special Master Class with Stephen Schwartz and the cast is also available for students.
He’s Got Magic to Do: The Music of Stephen Schwartz is sponsored by The Samuel J. & Connie M. Frankino Charitable Foundation and Kretzer Piano; sponsorships are available for a pre-show dinner and post-show meet-and-greet dessert reception.
He’s Got Magic to Do: The Music of Stephen Schwartz will take place on Saturday, November 12. Showtime is 8 p.m.; Tickets begin at $50. To purchase tickets, call (561) 575-2223 or visit www.jupitertheatre.org.

All About Wheels from the Heart
Changing Single Mothers’ Lives, One Car at a Time
An Interview with Steven Muschlitz and Sabrina Barnett by Krista Martinelli
AW: When and why did you start Wheels from the Heart?
Sabrina: Steve saw a very sad trend of single mothers being taken advantage of. They were not able to find reliable transportation for them and there family.
AW: What need in our community does it fulfill?
Steve: Wheels from the Heart assists mothers to become self-sufficient and helps children spend more time with their moms. Moms can find a better job when they are off the public transportation grid.
AW: Sabrina, what’s your personal connection with finding transportation for single mothers?
Sabrina: I was raised by a single mother and I remember waiting at the bus stop with my mom and older sister. My mother worked three jobs. She never complained. One night I heard her crying and it changed my life. I vowed to help single moms in need. I am a mom of two boys and raised them as a single mother. I know the huge responsibility inter meshed with the devotion and love for your children. Wheels from the Heart mission is so close to my heart… a God send. I am honored to volunteer my time.
AW: How many cars have you donated so far?
Steve: 57 cars. Each car has helped to change a life.
AW: How can people donate their cars?
Sabrina: Please call us at 561-445-7444 or www.wheelsfromtheheart.org
AW: What makes Country Club Autos different?
Steve: Country Club Autos is an auto concierge. We take the hassle out of car buying. We work for our clients. Someone calls and we ask specific questions. Year/ make/ model / budget, and then we find your car! CCA has numerous relationships with dealerships. This gives our customer the ability to buy corporate executive cars/ lease returns plus our trade-in value is second to none. We can offer up to 16% more on our clients’ trade-ins. Country Club Autos is where the home of Wheels from the Heart is.
AW: What’s the most challenging thing about this non-profit organization (Wheels from the Heart)?
Sabrina: We have so many families in need and so few donors. Many people say the have a cause that is dear to them such as cancer, autism, domestic violence, child abuse. Wheels from the Heart has helped with all these causes and more. We have had women with cancer, children with brain tumors and children with autism. These women feel alone, yet they are pillars of strength. Please see it in your heart to help.
AW: What have some of your recipients said?
Steve: “Wheels from the Heart has changed my family’s life!”
“I can now drive for a better life.”
“My whole world has changed.”
“I feel more positive. I now have 25 hours of productive time instead of bus time.”
“Thank God my kids do not have to get wet in the rain.”
AW: What do they appreciate most?
Sabrina: That they become part of a bigger family. That they have more time to be with their children. Time is priceless. They feel safer being able to ride in a car than wait on bus benches at night.
AW: Tell us, in brief, about your families.
Sabrina: I have modeled since the age of 13 and have given back to my grandmother, mother and children. We are a very close family. There are days that I pray in gratitude for having such a beautiful family. Steve grew up in Pennsylvania and attended Penn State University. These opportunities he felt blessed to have. His mother and father were always there for him. He wants to pay it forward. Although Steve has never had children, these families have become his extended family. Many of the women have graduated nursing school, been promoted within their jobs, and seen their children excel in sports and after school activities. We have seen a positive change in so many of these families. This alone is priceless.
AW: Anything else?
Steve: If anyone wants to create events and have Wheels from the Heart as a sponsored charity, please reach out for us. Our single mothers and children really need your help. Thank you.

Admissions: Free to the public Free Parking
“Speak Their Names” an exhibition of healing art, presented by artists throughout Palm Beach County, opened on Friday with over 300 guests in attendance. This exhibit broke all barriers of community, color and sexual orientation as we mourned together the losses we have all suffered as a community and nation. Tears were shed and embraces frequent, as those who have suffered directly (mothers and families who have lost members to gun violence) and those who hurt for all of these losses, stood together in solidarity.
Curator and coordinator, Kianga Jinaki Parker, spoke to the pervasive violence throughout our lives, that must stop. She included domestic violence, bullying and hate speech that surrounds us daily.
Artists stepped up to the the center of the gathering to read from the many lists of those that have perished to gun violence. The lists included the five Dallas police officers gunned down as they protected demonstrators, the victims of the Orlando Pulse night club massacre, the victims of the Charleston Church Massacre, and the victims of the Sandy Hook Travesty.
Jean Howard, talented artist, has photographed over 350 Palm Beach County family members who pose with their slaughtered love ones; those for whom we speak and remember. These poignant recorded memories help us all to say, “This Shall Not Be Again!”
Throughout the evening, names were added to the wall of death masks created as a lasting memorial to those who can no longer speak for themselves. This wall, and other exhibit artifacts will be offered to a museum as a lasting memory of those who have gone, and their survivors.
Mothers of the Movement have created a series of shrines commemorating their loved ones. Elise Chron, artist/coordinator of this project, has worked with dozens of family members to present their heart-songs through written and lighted shrines. Each represents their pain and their hope for the future.
Allison Kotzig, coordinator of Artists for Black Lives Matter (#A4BLM) has contributed a full wall of memories from her traveling installation of hundreds of artist donations. The power of this wall speaks for itself.
Throughout the exhibitions are printed vignettes and stories of the artists, the organizers of many of the conjoined movements, and the everyday people who have taken part in, and are effected by this.
On Friday evening, August 26, additional lists of names will be spoken. Poets will speak out and Mothers will tell their stories. All of these stories will be recorded by Jame Venable of Blackdoor Films, for a documentary he is creating about this project. Visitors are welcome to Speak Their Minds and Experiences during this evening. Throughout this evening of events, documentaries and film clips will be shown.
On Friday evening, September 2, poets, artists, musicians and the public will be invited up to the microphone to “Speak Their Names,” sing songs, opine and recite poetry. This is Labor Day Weekend, and tributes to Labor will be sung, as well.
Over 20 artists have contributed works:
Curator Kianga Jinaki Parker is a fiber artist, a merchant and a healer. Her works represent the stories of her mind, her heart and her spirit. She incorporates African textiles, glass, clay, metal, beads, bone and text into her works.

FOUNDCARE, INC. HOSTS ROUNDTABLE LED BY CONGRESSWOMAN
LOIS FRANKEL IN HONOR OF NATIONAL HEALTH CENTER WEEK
Frankel, Panel Members Highlight “Vital Role” of FoundCare
FoundCare, Inc., a Federally Qualified Health Center located in West Palm Beach, hosted the roundtable discussion Taking the Pulse of Health Care in Palm Beach County on Tuesday, August 9, to highlight National Health Center Week, August 7 through 13. Congresswoman Lois Frankel was joined on a panel by Congressman Ted Deutch, FoundCare Board Member Dr. David Dodson, FoundCare Medical Director Dr. Katina Bonaparte and several FoundCare patients who discussed the critical health care needs met in Palm Beach County by FoundCare’s services.
“Thanks to longstanding bi-partisan support, there are now more than 1,400 Federally Qualified Health Centers (FQHCs) nationwide,” said Frankel. “What we all understand is that to have a good life, you need good health, and FoundCare provides that for our underserved local residents.”
The panel shared highlights of FoundCare’s “vital statistics,” including:*
Congressman Deutch noted that besides the health benefits provided by FQHCs such as FoundCare, they create a positive economic impact, as well, including:*
FoundCare had a $16.6 million positive economic impact in Palm Beach County in 2015, and accounts for 168 jobs.
FQHCs create $26 billion in positive economic impact throughout the United States each year.
“We want to make sure that taking care of patients is at the forefront of our community,” said Dr. Bonaparte, who received high praise from three FoundCare patients on the panel. Andrew Kussoy, a former teacher with three masters’ degrees, fought back tears as he described finding himself struggling with neurological and mental health conditions that caused him to be hospitalized and eventually, uninsured and jobless. At his lowest point, he discovered FoundCare through an advertisement.
“I was probably 24 hours away from ending my life when I met her,” Kussoy said of Dr. Bonaparte. “And I was seen by her that same day. She got me in to see four different specialists that day and she literally saved my life. After a few months of treatment, I felt like I had a life worth saving.”
Stories like Kussoy’s are why Frankel, Deutch and FoundCare CEO Yolette Bonnet all noted the importance of the Affordable Care Act, and the effort to expand Medicaid in Florida – an effort that failed to pass in the Florida Legislature last year.
“With Medicaid expansion, we’d be in a position to increase our capacity to serve more patients, especially in the area of mental health,” said Bonnet, “And one of the biggest needs we have is mental health services. The need is so great, but we cannot meet this need at the level we know our community requires.”
Dr. Alina Alonso, director of the Palm Beach County Health Department and a guest at the event, echoed the need for more Federally Qualified Health Centers like FoundCare and expansion of existing services.
“The physicians who come to work at (FQHCs) are the kinds of dedicated people we want to see working with patients,” she said. “This is where medicine needs to go in the United States.”
FoundCare, Inc. is a nonprofit Federally Qualified Health Center that offers pediatrics, family practice, chronic disease management, infusions, behavioral health counseling, laboratory work, X-rays and dentistry, as well as an on-site pharmacy in two locations in Palm Beach County. FoundCare accepts most insurance, Medicaid, Medicare and self-pay on a sliding fee scale. FoundCare’s hours vary by location and include up to 8:00 p.m. on Tuesday, Wednesday, and Thursday, and Saturday and Sunday mornings. For more information call 561-HEALTHY (561-432-5849) or visit .
