June, 2014 – Delray’s Newest Theatre Opens with “The Life”

Delray Square Performing Arts Theatre Presents the 10th Anniversary Production of

 “THE LIFE” 

Delray Beach’s Newest Theatre Opens The Tony Award-Winning Musical June 11 – July 27th

The Life 

June , 2014 – Delray Beach, FL – Cy Coleman’s pulsating musical THE LIFE, Cy Coleman’s pulsating Tony Award winning musical, is bringing some sizzle back to the South Florida theatre scene this spring and summer.  THE LIFE will begin reduced-price previews at the brand new Delray Square Performing Arts on June 7th and 8th and will open for a limited run on June 11th.

“THE LIFE” explores the underbelly of Times Square’s 42nd Street in the 1980’s when it was inhabited by pimps, prostitutes, druggies, dealers, runaways and street people, where everything had a price – especially sex.

The Delray Square production is directed by Gary Waldman, who along with his partner, Jamison Troutman also serves as a producer of the show.  They were the team behind THE LIFE’s last visit to Florida (the first post-Broadway production worldwide) – an extremely successful, eight month sold out run at the Atlantis Playhouse in 2004.  The Waldman-Troutman Production received unanimous rapturous reviews and more regional award nods than any other (19-total, including Best Musical nominations in each ceremony).  This will be the landmark, 10th Anniversary Revival of that historic production!

The Delray Square Performing Arts Center has an esteemed production team and support staff behind THE LIFE production as well as a completely local cast of superstars.

June, 2014 – Downtown WPB: Pairings Food & Wine Event

AW Stories of the MonthSaucy Sarah

Downtown West Palm Beach: Pairings Food & Wine Event

By Saucy Sarah, our “Florida Foodie” writer

I have gone to many food festivals over the years – “The Taste of” this, “Flavors of” that, and so on – and I have never been impressed with the offerings. I go in with my hopes high on sampling unique, local cuisine at its best and, usually, end up tasting an endless string of mediocre morsels offered up by mainly chain restaurants. I do not mean to come off as a food snob, but I do dream of a world where fresh, simple, yet exquisite food is the norm at an event solely produced to celebrate and highlight food. I thought I was a hopeless romantic until I attended the Pairings food & wine event held Thursday, May 29th downtown on Clematis Street. I’m happy to report that Pairings was a delightful event that fulfilled my Foodie fantasies of what a food festival should be.


pair2

Pairings is a smart event, highlighting and celebrating the charm and delight to be found on Clematis street. Clematis street, the once-vibrant hub of Downtown West Palm Beach, now overshadowed by the Disney-esque glitz of City Place, is having a renaissance. Pairings is first and foremost a reminder that Clematis Street is still here and kicking. For Foodies like me, Clematis offers a sumptuous buffet of eclectic and exciting restaurants. Many are independently-owned. During the Pairings event, for $25.00 per person, you were able to sample over 25 participating restaurants. Each establishment offered a tasty bite-sized sample which was paired with a wine selection or a specialty cocktail. A great way to explore the restaurants and chose the ones you will re-visit for lunch or dinner.

pair3

Here are the top 10 most delicious bites from our journey through the event.

pair5

#10: The hamburger slider at Bar Louie: a great little slider. Beefy and a nice brightness from the pickle.

#9: The Anticucho at the Cabana Nuevo Latino: Perfectly grilled skirt steak on a sugar cane skewer accompanied with a lively ceviche-like sauce.

#8: The bread & bacon dumpling fries at The Backyard Bar: a strange and wonderful hybrid, like poutine and bread pudding had a love child. Hard to explain, just try it the next time the chef offers it!

pair7

#7: The chicken kebob and hummus at Leila: Moist grilled chicken paired with creamy hummus. Perfectly seasoned.

#6: The cilantro falafel w/Tahini at Wine Dive: A new twist on falafel. The cilantro matched exceptionally well and was the best surprise of the night.

pair12

#5: The buttermilk chicken and avocado wedges at Oli’s Fashion Cuisine: As good as the best fried chicken I’ve ever eaten in the deep south. The creamy avocado paired well with the crunchy chicken.

#4: The lump crab cake at Longboards: A nice balance between crab and filling. Great remoulade with a kick.

pair10

#3: The pork belly with lentils at Pistache: Flawlessly rendered piece of pork belly on a bed of creamy lentils. The crisp apple garnish gave the right amount of sweet to counter the richness of the pork.

#2: The roast pork sandwich Arancini at Hulaballoo: Deconstructed pulled pork sandwich formed into a croquette with Arborio rice and deep fried. A true wonder on flavors!

#1: The Scallop Ceviche at Off the Hookah: A single, sweet scallop with the exact balance of flavors. Perfection. I already long to taste it once again.

pair6

I hope that you attend next year’s Pairings event on Clematis and see for yourself what a hidden gem this event is. Look for it again toward the end of May next year!

The Palm Beach Pops Announces

SUMMER ROCKS 2014

A Free Music Education Series for Children in

Boca Raton, Boynton Beach & West Palm Beach

(Palm Beach Gardens, FL – June 2, 2014)  Charlotte Laurent-Ottomane, Executive Director of The Palm Beach Pops, today announced SUMMER ROCKS 2014, a music education series designed for children up to age 12.  The Pops created the “Music & You” In-School Youth Education Program to expose students to new learning experiences and positive role models while developing creativity, providing tools for communication and enabling students to build a strong sense of self.  This unique educational musical program will benefit over 500 children this summer in Palm Beach County, is free to participants, and is funded entirely by The Palm Beach Pops.

June 16-20

10130 185th Street South in Boca Raton

The four 45-minute sessions will focus on each of the four sections of the orchestra (Brass, Woodwinds, Strings and Percussion), all taught and performed by members of the Pops orchestra.  The “Music & You” program will be hosted by Mr. Music, Gary Mayone, who has been a member of the orchestra since its beginning, is the Principal Percussionist, and can actually play every instrument in the orchestra.  The program includes the introduction of famous composers, history of music with a focus on the great American songbook, and complements a curriculum that is often taught in schools.  The programs culminate in a mini-concert featuring approximately a dozen professional musicians from The Palm Beach Pops, wrapping up concepts taught to the children during the week.

“Over the years we have seen budget cuts in our schools which has adversely impacted music and art programs.  In response to this, our “Music & You” In-School Youth Education program was created, which is benchmarked to Common Core standards. The program provides a rich academic learning experience as the children are exposed, some for the first time, to a live orchestra and develop an understanding of how music is made. It has become one of the most successful educational programs in our community, reaching over 90,000 students since its inception in 1998,” said Ms. Laurent-Ottomane.

“The summer program will be followed by a month long program in four North Palm Beach county schools this fall, serving approximately 1,200 children in the classroom.  While securing funding is challenging, The Palm Beach Pops bears the entire cost of these programs.  We continue to seek funds for the program and are grateful to those donors who help us make this a reality for our community and our children,” Ms. Laurent-Ottomane continued.

About The Palm Beach Pops:

Founded in 1991 by the late Music Director and Conductor Bob Lappin, The Palm Beach Pops quickly distinguished itself as a world-class pops orchestra, dedicated to preserving the American Songbook. In addition to on-going concerts, The Palm Beach Pops is devoted to serving the children in its community by presenting quality music education programs. The Pops created the Music & You In-School Youth Education Program to expose students to new learning experiences and positive role models while developing creativity, providing tools for communication and enabling students to build a strong sense of self. The Palm Beach Pops is a non-profit organization, supported solely through the generosity of individual donations, institutional grants, and concert income.
