Bill Schwartz, University Center for the Performing Arts Director of Dance Barbara Sloan, and acting apprentice and student of Coral Reef Senior High Javier “Javi” Cabrera.  In this relevant and funny play, two long-time friends and neighbors, portrayed by Ms. Perez Ms. Sloan, are at war over 15 feet of green grass on waterfront property. 

 

Ms. Perez is a native of Miami, Fl. and has a BFA from Florida International University. She has performed in numerous Theatre productions throughout the State of Florida. Among them with Coconut Grove Playhouse, Actors Playhouse, GableStage, Hollywood Playhouse, Florida Stage, Teatro Avante, The Kravis Center and New Theatre.  In addition, she has been active in commercials and independent film projects, one of which was a finalist for Project Greenlight. Property Line marks her fourth production with New Theatre. 

 

Mr. Wilson is an adjunct faculty member at the New World School of the Arts & Barry University. He has worked professionally in New York City & Boston. Past New Theatre credits include Winter, Henry V, and Fizz. Scott is a 2012 Carbonell nominee (Best Actor) for the Infinite Abyss production of The Pillowman, and has appeared in Lombardi (Mosaic Theatre), Angel Eaters (Infinite Abyss), and Billboard (The State Theatre Project), among others.

 

Mr. Cabrera is a high school student in the Theatre Academy at Coral Reef Senior High School and is currently making his New Theatre debut in the acting apprentice program. 

 

Mr. Schwartz was professionally active on stage in the 1970’s, appearing in dinner theatre, at the Coconut Grove Playhouse and Vinette Carol’s theatre in New York City.  He also performed with Sarasota’s Asolo Touring Theatre in a nine month run, which included the Kennedy Center in Washington, D. C. In 1979 he started playing the real life role of a police officer. Lt. Bill Schwartz retired from the Miami Police Department as commander of its Public Information Office in 2008. Now back in the professional theatre, Mr. Schwartz has proudly worked at New Theatre, GableStage, Florida Stage and Zoetic Stage and is also a busy artist model, active in Dade, Broward and Palm Beach counties. 

 

Barbara Sloan is no stranger to New Theatre having performed in the World Premiere of Winter and last season’s one person show, High Dive among others. She has performed in numerous productions across South Florida garnering five Carbonell Nominations. Three of those nominations were for her roles at New Theatre.  Other favorite plays include The Color of Desire (Actor’s Playhouse), the one woman show 2.5 Minute Ride (Mosaic Theater), Strange Snow, The Real Thing, and Burn This (GableStage) and The Disputation (Coconut  Grove Playhouse).  When not onstage, Ms. Sloan teaches dance and is the Director of Dance at the University Center for the Performing Arts.

 

Under the direction of Artistic Director Ricky J. Martinez, the play comes to life with the support of the artistic team: Production Stage Manager, Jerry Jensen; Scenic Designer: Andrew Rodriguez-Triana; Costume Designer: K. Blair Brown and Sound Designer: Ozzie Quintana and Lighting Designer: Eric J. Cantrell.   Property Line is made possible in part by season programming support from the Miami Dade County Department of Cultural Affairs, the Affairs Council, the Mayor, and the Miami-Dade County Board of County Commissioners.

March, 2012 – Palm Beach Zoo Euthanizes Florida Panther

POPULAR FLORIDA PANTHER IS EUTHANIZED AT PALM BEACH ZOO

West Palm Beach, Florida, March 7, 2012 – The Palm Beach Zoo in West Palm Beach Florida has euthanized “Colin Patrick”, a 17-year-old Florida panther (Puma concolor coryi) that has been a favorite with zoo visitors throughout his life. Colin was born at the Palm Beach Zoo on St. Patrick’s Day in 1995 and lived in the Florida Wetlands section of the zoo.

Dr. Genevieve Dumonceaux, the zoo’s Clinical Veterinarian said, “Colin was recently diagnosed with a tumor that was compressing his spinal cord in the area between his shoulder blades.  This was affecting his ability to use his rear legs and he became unable to walk. Examinations also showed advanced bone disease in the spine. Due to the inevitable progression of this problem and the lack of feasible and effective long term therapies for this geriatric panther, the staff of the Palm Beach Zoo animal department made the difficult decision that Colin should be humanely euthanized.”

Keith Lovett, Assistant Director of the Palm Beach Zoo said, “Very few animals in the history of the Palm Beach Zoo have touched the lives of as many guests and staff as Colin.  In addition to the important role Colin played as an ambassador for his endangered species, he delighted zoo visitors with his playful demeanor and cunning personality.  He will be sorely missed.”

Colin was the offspring of George, a Texas Cougar, and Tayke, a Florida Panther and was hand raised by Palm Beach Zoo staff and volunteers.  He was one of only a few animals currently in captivity to have Florida panther lineage. His favorite activity was “stealth stalking” guests, volunteers and staff. His favorite foods were fish and large rodents.

Florida Panther Facts

RANGE:            At one time distributed throughout the state of Florida, now most of the surviving animals are found in the Florida Panther National Wildlife Refuge, Big Cypress National Preserve, and Everglades National Park. 

HABITAT:         Varied, including swamp, forest and ranchland.

DIET:                They prefer to feed on wild pigs and white-tailed deer, but will also hunt raccoons,                           armadillos, and small alligators. 

PHYSICAL CHARACTERISTICS:

Size:                 Reach 6 to 7 feet from nose to tail.

Weight:             Adults can weigh between 70 and 150 pounds.

Color:                Uniform light brown coat with whitish underbelly.  

Longevity:          Up to 12 years in the wild; longer in captivity.

REPRODUCTION:        

These cats are usually solitary but come together during breeding season.  Females generally give birth to a litter of 1 to 4 kittens after a gestation period of 90-95 days.  They usually breed every other year, but females will come into estrus sooner if the litter is lost.  The young are born with spots that tend to fade after 6 months of age.  Young typically nurse for 2 months and will stay with the mother for up to 2 years.

GENERAL INFORMATION

·         The Florida panther is the official state animal of Florida.

·         This is a subspecies of the puma found ranging from the western United States to South America.  Other names for panthers are cougar, mountain lion, and catamount.

·         They have a keen sense of smell and excellent eyesight.  They can run up to 35 mph but only for short distances (~200 yards).

·         These animals need large territories.  Each individual male needs approximately 200 square miles of territory, and females up to 75 square miles.  Panthers may range 10-15 miles in a single day.

 

CONSERVATION INFORMATION

Florida panthers are listed as an endangered species by the U.S. Fish & Wildlife Service. In 1993, the population was estimated to be 30 to 50 animals and current numbers are believed to have only reached 100. Radio collar monitoring and camera traps are being used to help save the Florida panther.  The main threats to their existence are habitat loss and fragmentation as well as automobile collisions.
