October, 2010 – Latin American Food & Wine Fest on Oct. 2nd
1st Annual Latin American Food & Wine Fest on Oct. 2nd
New Festival gives Northwood a Latin Twist
WEST PALM BEACH – On Saturday, Oct. 2 from 6 to 9 p.m. the Hispanic Chamber of Commerce of Palm Beach County will transform West Palm Beach’s Northwood Village into an outdoor display of Latin-inspired cuisine and culture during the inaugural Latin American Food & Wine Festival. The festival will feature mouthwatering menu items from more than 10 local restaurants and savory wine selections originating from Argentina, Chile and Spain – to name a few.
Popular Hispanic eateries like Havana, Casa Cuba, Sarussi Café and La Reina will provide a few of their menu favorites while other participating restaurants like Talay Thai and Café Centro will put a Latin twist on signature menu items in the spirit of the festival. Attendees will also enjoy live entertainment from two Hispanic bands and Hispanic artwork.
“Many people don’t realize that you don’t have to be Hispanic to join our Chamber,” said Andre Varona, president of the Hispanic Chamber of Commerce of Palm Beach County. “We are very excited to have a diverse array of restaurants participate in this festival and exemplify what the Chamber is all about – connecting our County’s large, influential Hispanic population with the non-Hispanic community.”
The Latin American Food & Wine Festival is produced by the Hispanic Chamber of Commerce of Palm Beach County and sponsored by Northwood Village and Mass Mutual. Tickets are $25 per person and include a customized wine glass. For more information, or to purchase tickets call (561) 832-1986.

October, 2010 – The Jewish Shiksa Returns
Amen! The Jewish Shiksa Returns
Boca Raton, FL- The reviews are in…Confessions of a Jewish Shiksa…Dancing on Hitler’s Grave! is an international buzz-worthy hit!
The play, starring Frannie Sheridan and directed by Shari Upbin, inspired audiences in Montreal, Canada in September. Now Sheridan brings her funny, dark, multi-character one-woman show to South Florida for a command performance at Zinman Hall in Boca Raton. Co-produced by The West Boca Theater Company, Sheridan will stage six unforgettable performances on Sunday October 17th, 24th, and 31st. There will be two shows a day at 2PM and 5PM.
In Confessions of a Jewish Shiksa, Frannie shares the true and humorous story of being raised to hide her Orthodox Jewish identity behind a cloak of Catholicism.
The story is told from the perspective of young Frannie, a nice Catholic girl who grew up with dumpling soup and candlesticks on Fridays, Manischevitz-spiked eggnog at Christmas, and a score of other traditions unfamiliar to her Catholic friends. Frannie’s questioning leads her to discover her family’s truth: her parents barely escaped the Holocaust and once in North America, were brutally attacked and left for dead by antisemites. These incidents caused them to shroud their history in secrecy, hiding their Jewish heritage even from their children. Confessions reveals the performer’s family history through top-notch storytelling sprinkled with clever satire.
Nosy neighbors and eccentric relatives round out the cast of characters of this one-woman show which will hit home with anyone who has struggled with questions of identity, family, and truth vs. appearances.
Sheridan is encouraging people from all walks of life to see the play because she believes Confessions appeals to all faiths, cultures and sexual orientations. “It’s a story that resonates with so many people on so many different levels. In the end we all just want to be accepted for who we really are,” said Sheridan. An audience conversation with Frannie will follow each show.
The reviews are in!
“A gripping, powerful, story. From stand-up comedy to stand-out performing,” said Mario Betto of the Fort Lauderdale Theater Examiner.
“I wasn’t expecting anything so personal and compelling, the performance was amazing,” raved attendee Regina Ross, who brought six family members.
“A Dramatic Gem,” said Marla Schwartz of Around Wellington Magazine.
Sheridan has won numerous writing honors, including the prestigious Gabriel Award for a CBC documentary based on her story and mayoral proclamations from West Palm Beach and the city of Miami Beach. Recently she was interviewed on Jewish Life Television(JLTV).
