The award-winning Island City Stage launches its 15th anniversary season in outrageous celebratory style! Get set for a raucous ride paying homage to everyone’s favorite drama queen, Joan Crawford, in the theater company’s revival of the hit world premiere of Michael Leeds’ Who Killed Joan Crawford? The show runs October 1 – 25 with tickets on sale now.

On a dark, stormy night in 1993, five men arrive at a cabin for a soap star’s surprise birthday party. Each guest has been asked to dress as the birthday boy’s favorite actress, Joan Crawford, in one of her signature roles… and the results aren’t pretty! As they wait for the star, the five “Joans” begin drinking and dishing. Dark secrets emerge and soon there’s one Joan less … and then another… leaving the remaining Joans — and the audience — asking, “Who Killed Joan Crawford?!”

The show is both written and directed by Michael Leeds. Leeds began his career performing on Broadway under the direction of such luminaries as Gower Champion, Ron Field, and Martin Scorsese before moving into directing, choreographing and writing. As a writer/director, Leeds is perhaps best known for writing and directing Swinging On A Star on Broadway, which received a Tony Award nomination for Best Musical. His plays also include The First Step, Impressions, The Gift, Starmaker, and his adaptation of Cole Porter’s Red, Hot And Blue which he directed at both Goodspeed Opera and PaperMill Playhouse as well as co-writing book, music and lyrics for Mating Habits of the Urban Mammal which has had productions throughout the country. For film, Leeds’ history with director Linda Yellen began when he choreographed End of Summer starring Jacqueline Bisset and Peter Weller. Since then he co-wrote with Yellen, The Simian Line starring William Hurt, Lynn Redgrave and Tyne Daly, The Last Film Festival starring Dennis Hopper and Jacqueline Bisset, Showtime’s Fluidity starring Nico Tortorella, and Chantilly Bridge, starring Lindsay Crouse, Jill Eikenberry, Ally Sheedy, Talia Shire, Patricia Richardson, Helen Slater and JoBeth Williams (Paramount+). His latest film, an adaptation of Stewart Lewis’s YA book, One Stupid Thing, starring Corey Fogelmanis (Girl Meets World), Skye Katz (Surviving Summer) and Jack White was awarded Best Picture at the Boston International Film Festival, Best Feature at the Edinburgh Film Festival, and is currently a semi-finalist in the London International Filmmakers Festival. As a director, aside from his Broadway credits, Leeds directed and choreographed the production of Hello Muddah, Hello Faddah – The Songs of Allan Sherman for which he was nominated for a Drama Desk Award for Best Director/Best Choreographer. Other Off Broadway credits include Showing Off, the York Theatre’s revivals of 70, Girls, 70 and Lerner & Lane’s Carmelina which he adapted with the original book writer Joe Stein. His production of the European premiere of Arthur Miller’s Playing For Time won the prestigious Edinburgh Fringe Festival First Award. He also directed and choreographed A Little Night Music for the Houston Grand Opera and Marc Blitzstein’s Regina for Florida Grand Opera. In South Florida, he’s directed at GableStage, Palm Beach DramaWorks, Broward Stage Door Theatre and Island City Stage where he is associate artistic director. His many productions there have earned him South Florida’s highest honors: the Carbonell, Remy and Silver Palm Awards.

Island City Stage’s 2026 revival production of Who Killed Joan Crawford? stars Michael Coppola (Harvey Goldberg), Luke Di Liddo (David Hoch), Christopher Dreeson (Stewart Fry), Jay Eisler (Trick Roberts), Bruce Linser (Gene Harlowe) and Stephen Trovillion (Leo Lawrence).

Who Killed Joan Crawford? Co-producers are Mark Tews & Raymond Griffis, Jeffrey Danielson and Michael Mullins & Terry Gaw. Lights and Sound Sponsor is Scott Bennett and Set Sponsor is Glenn Goldberg. Costume Sponsors are The Doug Pew & Don Croxton LGBT Trust at Our Fund.

Cost: 35

Goat your zen on! PURRR Adoption + Sanctuary (PURRR) – a nonprofit organization with a mission to transform cats’ lives one PURRR at a time, through rescue, adoption, and spay + neuter initiatives – will host “Whiskers & Hooves” on Sunday, Oct. 4, in collaboration with Downward Goat.

The community is invited to an all-levels yoga experience surrounded by goats. Supporters can choose from two sessions at 4 p.m. or 5:30 p.m. No yoga experience is needed, and mats will be provided.

Tickets are available for $35 per person, and space and parking are limited. All proceeds from the one-hour goat yoga experience will be donated to PURRR Adoption + Sanctuary to provide food, medical care and a safe place for the cats in its care.

Guests will enjoy delicious food and drinks in purr-fect company while discovering ways to support PURRR’s mission to help more cats find their happy ever after. Following the yoga flow, participants are invited to visit adoptable cats and learn about fostering, adoption and volunteering at PURRR.

Through its “Find Your One” process, PURRR’s team helps future cat moms and dads find their soul cat and guides them every step of the way. With over 150 adoptable cats, the PURRR team knows every cat – their personality, history, quirks and what kind of home they need to become themselves fully. Whether future cat parents are seeking a playful and energetic kitten, a calm and cuddly adult cat, or a wise and gentle senior, PURRR’s diverse selection of feline friends ensures there’s a perfect match for every home. Soul cat profiles built around personality are available on each feline friend in PURRR’s care.

The “Find Your One” experience starts with filling out an application to help PURRR’s team understand the adoptee’s preferences, lifestyle, and what they’re looking for in a cat companion. Within 48 hours, a PURRR team member will schedule a meet and greet for the chance to see firsthand the personalities and quirks of feline residents. After connecting with a potential furry family member, PURRR schedules a 15-minute in-home, educational consultation to ensure a smooth integration into the home. PURRR prioritizes the new feline family member’s well-being and conducts a comprehensive final medical examination and bloodwork before taking the lifelong feline companion home. The PURRR team will check in after a week to ensure a smooth transition and address any questions. Beyond adoption day, PURRR provides support, resources, and guidance throughout the journey as a pet owner.

Founded in 2018, PURRR Adoption + Sanctuary is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization with a mission to transform cats’ lives one PURRR at a time, through rescue, adoption, and spay + neuter initiatives that help reduce overpopulation and ultimately enrich the human-feline connection. PURRR is committed to giving cats and their companions a better future by offering a safe haven and encouraging responsible pet ownership.

PURRR’s team and volunteers bring a wealth of experience and compassion to everything they do. From adoptions to spay + neuter services, every aspect of PURRR is driven by a deep love for cats and a commitment to their well-being.

Island City Stage presents the Tony Award-winning Play Eureka Day 8/20/26 – 9/13/26

Island City Stage presents the Tony Award-winning Play Eureka Day

Wilton Manors, Florida, 33305

Cost: $45 – $62

Eureka Day, winner of the 2025 Tony Award for Best Revival of a Play, will close out island City Stage’s 14th season of bold, inventive storytelling! Don’t miss this smart, satirical look at parenting, privilege, and the minefield of modern communication. Tickets are on sale now for this bitingly funny and startlingly timely play running August 20 – September 13.

Welcome to Eureka Day, the ultra-progressive private school in California where every voice matters—until a mumps outbreak turns harmony into hysteria. In this, a well-meaning board of directors prides itself on consensus and inclusion. But when public health collides with personal beliefs, even the most open-minded parents find themselves at odds. As tensions rise and Zoom meetings spiral into chaos, the community must confront the uncomfortable truth: sometimes, doing the right thing means not pleasing everyone.

Eureka Day premiered at Aurora Theatre Company in Berkeley, California in April 2018 then moved to New York at Walkerspace the following year. Its European premiere at The Old Vic in September, 2022 featured Mark McKinney, Helen Hunt, Susan Kelechi Watson, Kirsten Foster and Ben Schnetzer. In 2024, Eureka Day premiered on Broadway at the Samuel J. Friedman Theatre starring Bill Irwin, Amber Gray, Jessica Hecht, Thomas Middleditch, Chelsea Yakura-Kurtz and Eboni Flowers.

Jonathan Spector is a Tony Award-winning playwright based in Oakland, California, whose work has been produced on and off-Broadway, regionally and internationally. His plays include Eureka Day (2025 Best Revival: Tony Award, Drama Desk Award, Drama League Award & Dorian Award); This Much I Know (Edgerton Award, Glickman Award, BATCC Award); Birthright; Best Available; Siesta Key; and Good. Better. Best. Bested. Spector’s work has been produced with Manhattan Theatre Club, the Old Vic/Sonia Friedman Productions, Pasadena Playhouse, Hampstead Theatre, Miami New Drama, Colt Coeur, Theater J, Syracuse Stage, Asolo Rep, Aurora Theatre, Marin Theatre and Mosaic Theater, among others.

Website
Cost: Free

To commemorate National Adopt a Cat Month and Father’s Day, PURRR Adoption + Sanctuary (PURRR) – a nonprofit organization with a mission to transform cats’ lives one PURRR at a time, through rescue, adoption, and spay + neuter initiatives – will host “PURRRS & POPS” on Sunday, June 14, from 4 to 7 p.m. The free event is open to the public.

The community is invited to an open house to visit adoptable cats and learn about fostering, adoption and volunteering at PURRR, and vote for South Florida Top Cat Dad. Guests will enjoy delicious food and drinks in purr-fect company while discovering ways to support PURRR’s mission to help more cats find their happy ever after.

This Father’s Day, PURRR is searching for South Florida’s Top Cat Dad who raises whiskers and expectations. Cat dads, foster dads, rescue dads and dedicated volunteers are all welcome to enter for the chance to win. To enter, participants can either direct message @purrr.family on Instagram or email info@PURRR.org their favorite photos. Participants will get a bonus entry if they upload a photo and tag @purrr.family in a post. Bonus points for funny photos, rescue stories and cats with very strong opinions.

The deadline for photo submissions is Wednesday, June 10, and the community will vote for the winner leading up to Father’s Day weekend, including at the “PURRRS & POPS” event. Each vote is a $1 donation that helps a cat in need. The top five finalists will be featured across PURRR’s social media pages. The winner will be announced on Friday, June 19.

As June marks National Adopt a Cat Month and National Hug Your Cat Month, it’s the perfect time to find a forever feline friend. While most adoption services are self-service, PURRR believes that every cat has someone and finding the right feline companion is a special journey. Through its “Find Your One” process, PURRR’s team helps future cat moms and dads find their soul cat and guides them every step of the way.

With over 150 adoptable cats, the PURRR team knows every cat – their personality, history, quirks and what kind of home they need to become themselves fully. Whether future cat parents are seeking a playful and energetic kitten, a calm and cuddly adult cat, or a wise and gentle senior, PURRR’s diverse selection of feline friends ensures there’s a perfect match for every home. Soul cat profiles built around personality are available on each feline friend in PURRR’s care.

The “Find Your One” experience starts with filling out an application to help PURRR’s team understand the adoptee’s preferences, lifestyle, and what they’re looking for in a cat companion. Within 48 hours, a PURRR team member will schedule a meet and greet for the chance to see firsthand the personalities and quirks of feline residents. After connecting with a potential furry family member, PURRR schedules a 15-minute in-home, educational consultation to ensure a smooth integration into the home. PURRR prioritizes the new feline family member’s well-being and conducts a comprehensive final medical examination and bloodwork before taking the lifelong feline companion home. The PURRR team will check in after a week to ensure a smooth transition and address any questions. Beyond adoption day, PURRR provides support, resources, and guidance throughout the journey as a pet owner.

When:
Sunday, June 14, from 4 to 7 p.m.

Adding to the excitement will be a special recognition ceremony for Dustin Lance Black, director of Rock Out (USA, 2025), an excavation of the queer roots of rock, punk and metal featuring Roger Daltrey, Dolly Parton, John Reid, Danny Fields and more, at the Monday, April 27 Paradigm Cinemas: Gateway Fort Lauderdale Cocktails & Cinema™ screening.

Runners, walkers, families and community leaders of all ages will come together to take steps to raise funds and awareness to end hunger in South Florida at Vista View Park in Davie.

The signature event is part of Feeding South Florida’s year-long 45th anniversary celebration, commemorating over four decades of putting food on the tables of South Florida families who need it most.

Registration will begin at 6:30 a.m., and the Outrun Hunger 5K will start at 7:30 a.m. An award ceremony will take place after the walk/run. NBC 6 and Telemundo 51’s Community Reporter Miriam Tapia will emcee the event and engage with and energize the crowd.

His Broward appearance is part of History Fort Lauderdale’s “Florida Scribes & Stories,” a meet the author series that offers literary and history enthusiasts a chance to speak with local authors, purchase their latest releases and have them signed.

Fraser, a native-born Floridian who graduated from Stranahan High School in 1952, spent his early years along the Atlantic Ocean and coastal South Florida embarking on many unforgettable adventures with friends and family – fishing, swimming, boating, camping and exploring. He watched the region grow from the late 1930s through the early 1950s – from rural, undeveloped land with some family farms to the beginning of the metropolitan area it is today. His family moved to Lake City after he graduated high school.

Through his self-published book, “Tales from Growing Up in Oakland Park and Fort Lauderdale, Florida,” he shares these memorable experiences and offers rare glimpses and insight into local history.

Brian L. Polk, editor and Florida historian writes, “Bud is a wonderful storyteller, and he uses detailed, descriptive writing that will transport you back to a similar time during his youth. Some readers will reminisce; others will be enlightened; and all will be entertained.”

Beauty and the Beast JR. at American Heritage Schools 1/29/26

American Heritage Schools’ Broward Campus Main Stage Theater
12200 W. Broward Blvd.,
Plantation, Florida, 33325
Website
Cost: Children: $5 | Adults: $10

American Heritage School’s Broward Campus lower school students will perform Beauty and the Beast JR. at the main Stage Theater on Thursday, Jan. 29, at 7 p.m. and Friday, Jan. 30, at 7 p.m.

Based on the original Broadway production that ran for over thirteen years and was nominated for nine Tony Awards, and the Academy Award-winning motion picture, Disney’s Beauty and the Beast JR. is a fantastic adaptation of the story of transformation and tolerance. Disney’s Beauty and the Beast JR. features some of the most popular songs ever written by Alan Menken and the late Howard Ashman, along with new songs by Mr. Menken and Tim Rice.

The classic story tells of Belle, a young woman in a provincial town, and the Beast, who is really a young prince trapped under the spell of an enchantress. If the Beast can learn to love and be loved, the curse will end and he will be transformed to his former self. But time is running out. If the Beast does not learn his lesson soon, he and his household will be doomed for all eternity. With many fun supporting roles allowing students to play objects inside the castle, this “tale as old as time” is filled with spectacular costume and set opportunities.

Cost: $30 to $100

On Saturday, Jan. 31, American Heritage Schools and its Honors Legal Studies program are pleased to once again partner with The Innocence Project of Florida (IPF) to host its seventh annual comedy event series, “Stand Up for Innocence,” at the school’s Broward Campus. The event will feature three comedians, including Tony V., Leighann Lord, and Maronzio Vance. The pre-event reception begins at 7 p.m., and the comedy show starts at 8:15 p.m.

This is a fun-filled night featuring stand-up comedians who frequently appear on Comedy Central and at NYC Comedy Clubs. The evening will entail levity and laughs to raise money for The Innocence Project of Florida – a nonprofit organization that aims to help innocent prisoners in Florida obtain their freedom and rebuild their lives.

All proceeds from the Stand Up for Innocence comedy show will provide critical funding for IPF’s work to find and free innocent people from prison in Florida. The litigation efforts and support services for freed people are always offered at no cost to the wrongfully convicted, ensuring that justice, freedom, and healing are never determined by someone’s ability to pay.

The impact of these events extends beyond the stage; they raise awareness, bring communities together, and amplify the voices of those who have endured unimaginable injustice. They are a reminder that wrongful convictions are not just statistics but human stories of resilience, families torn apart, and lives rebuilt.

By participating in this entertaining program, students not only enjoy performing for the public, but recognize that their fundraising efforts are helping two local non-profit organizations.

BCMTA also provides student scholarships and competitive activities.

This year, BCMTA has chosen 4KIDS of South Florida, an organization committed to redefining foster care across the region one child at a time, with the support of the faith-based community. Whether a family is in crisis and at-risk of breaking down, siblings are coming into the foster care system, or a child requires trauma-informed therapy – 4KIDS brings hope, homes, and healing.

“Torch Song” reopens Plays of Wilton’s newly renovated Foundry Theater 7/21/25

Wilton Manors, Florida, 33305
Buy Tickets
Cost: $35 to $50

Plays of Wilton (POW!) and Ronnie Larsen Presents are proud to announce the highly anticipated South Florida revival of Torch Song by Harvey Fierstein, running July 17 through August 31, 2025, at newly renovated Foundry Theater in Wilton Manors, Thursday through Saturday at 8:00 PM and Sunday at 3:00 PM.
Directed by Ronnie Larsen, this newly staged production of Fierstein’s Tony Award-winning play tells the deeply personal and powerfully resonant story of Arnold Beckoff, a Jewish drag queen and torch song singer navigating life, love, and family in 1970s and 1980s New York City. Funny, raw, and tender, Torch Song traces Arnold’s journey as he searches for intimacy, family, stability, and—perhaps most importantly—respect.
Originally written as Torch Song Trilogy, Fierstein revised the play into a two-act format in 2017 for Second Stage Theater. It later transferred to Broadway’s Helen Hayes Theater in 2018, reminding audiences of the enduring relevance and humanity of Arnold’s story.
At its heart, Torch Song is about belonging. Arnold wants what everyone else does: love, family, and a sense of purpose. But as a gay man in a society that barely acknowledges his existence—and a mother who refuses to accept his identity—he must fight for the life he knows he deserves. The play’s themes of queer visibility, parental acceptance, heartbreak, and resilience continue to strike a deep chord with audiences today.
A legend of the American stage, Harvey Fierstein is a four-time Tony Award winner—two for the original Torch Song Trilogy (Best Play, Best Actor), one for La Cage aux Folles, and one for Hairspray. A trailblazer in queer representation, his other writing credits include Kinky Boots, Newsies, Casa Valentina, and A Catered Affair. His acting credits span Broadway (Fiddler on the Roof, La Cage aux Folles) and film (Mrs. Doubtfire, Independence Day), and he is an outspoken activist and essayist. Torch Song solidified his legacy as a fearless voice for LGBTQ+ stories onstage.
“Bringing Torch Song to Wilton Manors—one of the most vibrant queer communities in the country—feels incredibly meaningful,” says director Ronnie Larsen. “This play has heart, bite, and truth, and I’m so proud of the incredible team bringing it to life.”

Tickets are now available at www.playsofwilton.com and www.ronnielarsen.com
Running Time: 2 hours 30 minutes (including 15 minute intermission)

List of Films:

Disappearing Giants: What Happened to Florida’s Goliath Groupers? (Ocean First Institute, USA)
Goliath Grouper, once relatively abundant in U.S. waters in the 1890s to early 1900s, experienced extreme overfishing thereafter, approaching extinction by the1980s. Fishery closures were put into place that set this species on a trajectory to recovery for 20 years. However, despite these protections, populations seem to be on another decline. Our team, led by Dr. Chris Malinowski, is on a mission to investigate these declines in offshore waters of Florida.

Deep Look: A Coral is Born
When the moon, sun and ocean temperatures all align, an underwater “snowstorm” occurs. Corals put on a massive spawning spectacle by sending tiny white spheres floating up the water column all at once.

Wild Hope: Whale Shark Homecoming (Geoff Luck, USA)
Watch as a fishing community in Gujarat, India embraces a cultural shift and initiates local conservation efforts to protect whale sharks after years killing thousands of the world’s largest fish. The documentary highlights whale shark slaughter in 2001. An NGO, a local religious leader named Morari Bapur, and Indian law inspire locals to pivot and rally around local pride protecting and honoring whale sharks rather than killing them.

The Human Side of Plastic, Babacar Thiaw (Andrew Lynch, Ben Ayers, Rush Sturges, USA)
Rooted in his love for the ocean, Babacar Thiaw, founder of Senegal’s first zero-waste restaurant, turned his passion and dedication into action, creating a movement reaching beyond the coastline of his hometown in Dakar, Senegal. A picturesque, captivating short film filled with inspiration and hope for our planet.

Caleb – Beyond the Bite (Nicola Gerrard, South Africa)
Years after having lost his leg to a shark, Caleb confronts his disability, his vulnerability, and his fears, and explores his paradoxically deepening connection with the ocean– and with sharks. Now he must choose between a self-image as victim, or survivor. In swimming among them, he experiences a paradigm shift, recognizing his place in the world.

Souls (Ian Mun, Singapore)
Rarely do you get six world-renowned ocean legends in the same room and on the same panel but suggest a dive trip and they will be on that boat. Inspiring stories from award-winning underwater photographers on their first experience diving into the ocean, changes they have seen in their lifetime, and yet, they remain hopeful for future generations.

Plays of Wilton presents Dan Clancy’s “The Timekeepers” 4/10/25

Plays of Wilton presents Dan Clancy’s “The Timekeepers”
Thursday, 04/10/2025-04/27/2025, 08:00 pm-
The Foundry
2306 N Dixie Hwy,
Wilton Manors, Florida, 33305
Buy Tickets
Cost: $35 to $50 – General reserved $35, Premium Front Row $50

Plays of Wilton(POW!) reunites with Wilton Manors playwright Dan Clancy and director Bruce Linser for the South Florida revival of Clancy’s award winning The Timekeepers, opening Thursday March 27, 2025 and running through Sunday April 27, 2025.
Prepare for an unforgettable evening of drama, resilience, and human connection as POW! brings you The Timekeepers – an internationally acclaimed play that has captivated audiences worldwide.  The play takes place in a Nazi concentration camp, and tells the deeply moving story of an unlikely bond between a Jewish prisoner and a homosexual inmate under the ever watchful eye of their Kapo.  Through struggle and survival, their evolving relationship delivers a powerful mix of tension, humor, and heart. Critics have praised the play for its masterful storytelling and emotional depth, winning several Carbonell Awards and making it a must-see theatrical event.
Following the 2023 sold-out run of Dan Clancy and Lynn Portas’ musical 108 Waverly, also directed by Bruce Linser, POW! is excited to reunite with this incredible creative team for a revival of this riveting drama not seen in South Florida for 12 years.  Regarding his work, Dan Clancy has said, “… the play questions the concept of communities – social, religious, racial, or sexual.  They often provide support for their members.  But the walls which contain this support can also prevent the community’s members from seeing other people’s humanity.”This is Bruce Linser’s third collaboration with POW! after directing 108 Waverly and performing in the world premiere of Erin K. Considine’s Family Tree. Bruce states, “While TheTimekeepers is set during the Holocaust, it’s more a story about how we divide ourselves from one another – ‘us vs. them.’ It’s about us, and whether or not we’re able to see beyond our differences, and stand together against hatred and bigotry.  And that message is more important now than it’s ever been.”
The Timekeepers has been seen in over 13 countries and 22 cities across the world, including throughout Israel. 
“The new production of American playwright Dan Clancy’s The Timekeepers , is an essential roller-coaster journey, which manages to strike and shock at nearly every turn.”  The Pink Times (Tel Aviv), December 26, 2002.
“[The Timekeepers] is subtle. But then, that is the beauty of this play – the horror of the situation somehow lies beneath the day to day minutiae with which the characters content themselves.” The Stage (London), September 7, 2005.
“By presenting a view of three very different victims of the Nazis, and not the Nazis themselves, playwright Dan Clancy’s play is powerfully effective, leaving an enormous impression that requires days to digest.” The Sunday Independent (South Africa), July 18, 2010.
[The Timekeepers] “it’s one of the best dramas seen in the region this year with no asterisks or qualifiers.” “… [Clancy] has crafted a strong script rife with irony. He ingeniously posits a world where time is a precious, fragile and tenuous commodity, yet a place where time has seemingly come to a halt out from fear what the next tick of the clock might bring.”Florida Theater on Stage (Fort Lauderdale), October 27, 2013.
The production brings many fresh faces to POW!’s Foundry Theater.  The cast, John Brodsky, Christopher Daftsios, Seth Trucks and stage manager Katelyn Bourke are all making their debuts at The Foundry.  With the exception of costume designer, Tim Bowman, who is fresh off of POW! in the Park’s A Funny Thing Happened On The Way To The Forum, the balance of the design and production team are all new to POW!. We welcome Cindi Blank Taylor (Scenic Design), John Shamburger (Scenic Painter), Jameelah Bailey (Props/Set Dressing), Kirk Bookman (Lighting Design), Roger Arnold (Sound Design) Kathryn Johnston (Dialect/Intimacy) and Ted de Chatelet (Fight Director) to The Foundry.
The twenty performances of The Timekeepers run Thursday, Friday and Saturday at 8 pm and Sunday at 3 pm, at The Foundry, 2306 N Dixie Hwy in Wilton Manors from March 27 through April 27, 2025.  The approximate running time is 1 hour 40 minutes.

A dynamic artist from Taiwan and long-time U.S. resident, Huifang Chen enjoys a diverse career as a violinist, educator, and conductor. She has been the Music Director of the Greater Miami Youth Symphony since 2008 and the Concertmaster of the South Florida Symphony Orchestra since 2020.

Ms. Chen was a member of the Florida Philharmonic Orchestra from 1994 until its disbandment in 2003. She also has served as concertmaster for many orchestras including Ars Flores Orchestra, Florida Grand Opera, Palm Beach Symphony, Orchestra Miami, and Boca Symphonia. In 2023, Ms. Chen was selected as the concertmaster for Andrea Bocelli’s orchestra.

As a violin soloist, Ms. Chen has appeared with orchestras around the world, including the Taipei Symphony Orchestra and New Taoyuan Philharmonic in her native country. She has soloed with the Brno Philharmonic Orchestra in the Czech Republic and with the Rochester Symphony, Macomb Symphony, Oakland-Pontiac Symphony, and Warren Symphony in Michigan. Locally, she has soloed with the Alhambra Orchestra, Florida Youth Orchestra, Frost Symphony Orchestra at the University of Miami, Greater Miami Youth Symphony, Miami Bach Society, and Renaissance Chamber Orchestra among others, and most recently in 2024, with the South Florida Symphony Orchestra performing Bruch’s Scottish Fantasy. She has also appeared multiple times as a soloist with the Dreyfoos Philharmonic Orchestra in Palm Beach performing Brahms, Mendelssohn, Sibelius, and Tchaikovsky Violin Concertos. Chen was featured as the soloist in the first virtual concert with the South Florida Symphony Orchestra during the pandemic in 2020 playing Mozart’s Turkish Violin Concerto. In addition, she has been an active chamber musician. Since 2021, she has been the key player for South Florida Symphony’s “Summer with the Symphony” chamber concert series.

Ms. Chen graduated from the prestigious Curtis Institute of Music where her mentor was violin legend Jascha Brodsky (1907-1997). She was the winner of the 1999 Young Concert Artist award from the National Concert Hall of Taipei, Taiwan and also won the 2003 Concerto Competition at the University of Miami where she received a master’s degree in 2005.

As a recording artist, Huifang has appeared on dozens of award-winning CDs for artists such as the Bee Gees, Natalie Cole, Gloria Estefan, Julio Iglesias, Ricky Martin, Jon Secada, Shakira, and Barbra Streisand. In 2012, she recorded Thomas Sleeper’s Violin Concerto with the Brno Philharmonic Orchestra in the Czech Republic, released in 2014 on the Albany Label. Additionally, she has performed the National Anthem on numerous occasions at Miami Dolphins football games. Most recently, she was featured as a soloist in John Gottsch’s Princess Yurievskaya, featuring South Florida Symphony Orchestra, and released in 2021 on the Naxos Label.

As a committed violin pedagogue, many of Ms. Chen’s students are frequent winners at both local and international competitions. Many are now attending top music schools such as The Curtis Institute of Music and Juilliard School, and many others are now members of professional orchestras. Ms. Chen teaches violin at the New World School of the Arts in Miami and at the Dreyfoos School of the Arts in West Palm Beach. During the summers, she performs and teaches at the Killington Music Festival in Vermont. In Summer 2025, she will be guest conducting at the Sewanee Music Festival in Tennessee.

Cost: Freee

The Broward Metropolitan Planning Organization (MPO) and Broward County will host a second round of Broward Safety Action Plan (BSAP) public workshops during the month of February. These workshops will provide residents with an opportunity to review conceptual designs and offer feedback on critical safety measures for some of the county’s most dangerous streets.

The BSAP initiative emphasizes collaboration between community members, local leaders, and transportation experts. By participating in these workshops, residents can directly influence the development of safer streets for all users, including bicyclists, pedestrians, drivers, and transit riders.

Broward County continues to face significant challenges with traffic safety. The county’s fatality rate stands at 14.8 per 100,000 people which is more than five times higher than New York City and twice as deadly as Chicago. The BSAP addresses these challenges by focusing on targeted analysis and solutions to improve safety on priority corridors across Broward County.

The February workshops are designed to educate and engage the public through materials such as corridor concept designs, safety countermeasures, and equity and safety analyses. Each session will include a brief presentation, an open house for feedback, and opportunities to engage directly with the BSAP team. Attendees will also have the chance to sign a safety pledge, explore an interactive map, and receive complimentary safety items, such as bike lights, bracelets or bags.

South Florida Symphony Orchestra Presents Don Juan | Strauss & Berlioz 2/14/25

South Florida Symphony Orchestra Presents Don Juan | Strauss & Berlioz
Friday, 02/14/2025-, 07:30 pm-09:30 pm
Tennessee Williams Theatre
5901 College Rd,
Key West, Florida, 33040
Website
Cost: $35

Celebrate love in all its dramatic, poetic, erotic, scandalous and insatiable forms as South Florida Symphony Orchestra (SFSO) presents an adventurous Valentine’s Day program featuring three orchestra premieres, headlined by the return of R. Strauss’ Don Juan. Led by SFSO’s award-winning music director Sebrina María Alfonso and featuring soprano Amy Shoremount-Obra, the concert will take place at 7:30 p.m. on Friday, February 14, at the Tennessee Williams Theatre at The College of the Florida Keys.

Don Juan is a swashbuckling escapade that both scandalized and delighted audiences with its eroticism and ultra-modern style when it premiered in 1889, cementing Richard Strauss’ (1864-1949) fame as the genius of his generation, making him a favorite among musical modernists. Meanwhile, his Four Last Songs, a SFSO premiere featuring soprano Amy Shoremount-Obra, is a touchingly beautiful and serene masterpiece, bidding farewell to an illustrious career.

Top Prize Winner of the 2018 Gerda Lissner Foundation International Vocal Competition Wagner Division, soprano Amy Shoremount-Obra has garnered major attention for her work on the operatic and concert stage. She made her Carnegie Hall debut in 2005 as a soloist in Brahms’ Requiem with The Juilliard Orchestra under the baton of the late James DePreist, her Metropolitan Opera debut in 2014 as “First Lady” in Mozart’s Die Zauberflöte, singing all nine performances of the opera, three of which were Sirius XM Satellite Broadcasts and David Geffen Hall in Lincoln Center debut as a soloist in Verdi’s Requiem with the National Chorale. In 2018, she made her debut with the Orquesta Filarmónica del Estado de Chihuahua in Mexico in a solo concert of arias from Il Trovatore, Nabucco, Tannhäuser, and Turandot. Ms. Shoremount-Obra made her European Operatic debut in 2004 as “Ifigenia” in Handel’s Oreste at the Spoleto Festival, Italy. She has performed numerous operatic roles with a variety of operas and performance groups including Opera Grand Rapids, The American Symphony Orchestra, the LA Philharmonic, Grand Harmonie in Princeton, NJ, Odyssey Opera of Boston, Maryland Opera in Baltimore, New York Philharmonic and more. A champion of new music, Shoremount-Obra has premiered/collaborated with some of today’s most popular and notable composers including Tarik O’Regan, Dan Visconti, John Zorn, and Paola Prestini. She is a 2004 New York Regional Winner and National Semi-Finalist in the Metropolitan Opera National Council Auditions. She has also won numerous awards from other organizations, including the Richard F. Gold Career Grant from the Shoshana Foundation and has since been supported with supplemental grants from the same foundation. She is the 2016 winner of the Ursula Springer Award from the Wagner Society of New York and together with pianist Christopher Cooley, the 2019 Second Prize Winner in the Joy In Singing International Art Song Competition.

The program also features SFSO’s premiere of Austrian composer Johann Strauss II’s (1825-1899) The Blue Danube, the world’s most famous waltz. Originally written as a choral piece for the Vienna Men’s Choral Association, Strauss adapted it for orchestra soon after it debuted. Epitomizing the symphonic richness and variety of Strauss’s dance music, it ultimately earned him acclaim as the “waltz king,” and has become the best-known of his many dance pieces.

SFSO’s premiere of Hector Berlioz’s (1803-1869) tumultuous “King Lear Overture” (Le roi Lear), perhaps his grandest, most dramatic and atmospheric overture, recounts the dark Shakespearean tragedy of man and a kingdom divided by love and politics.

Now in its 27th season celebrating Icons & Rebels, SFSO invites audiences to tantalizing upcoming works by Mozart, Berlioz, Prokofiev and Bruckner.

From sold-out masterworks performances to accompanying today’s musicians such as Natalie Merchant and performing modern musical scores, South Florida’s largest symphonic orchestra is continuing its journey of excellence inspiring audiences of all ages and musical genres. This season’s popular collaborations included performances of ARRIVAL From Sweden: The Music of ABBA and Tim Burton’s The Nightmare Before Christmas, featuring the iconic film screened live with audio and musical accompaniment.

Tickets for this Masterworks III program are on sale now beginning at $35. Tickets may be purchased by visiting southfloridasymphony.org or by calling (305) 295-7676. For additional information, visit southfloridasymphony.org, call (954) 522-8445 or email info@southfloridasymphony.org.

OUTshine LGBTQ+ Film Festival, internationally acclaimed as one of the largest LGBTQ+ cultural festivals in the world, is pleased to present the East Coast premiere of the historical narrative “Hammarskjöld – Fight for Peace” (Sweden, 2024), its Centerpiece Film.

In New York City, 1961, amid the Cold War, Dag Hammarskjöld, the charismatic UN Secretary-General, is at the height of his influence. Committed to post- colonial peace in Africa, he opposes those exploiting the continent’s resources. His world shifts when an old friend, Peter, arrives, causing Dag to question his intense dedication to his role. Following the death of UN peacekeepers in the Congo, Dag decides to lead the UN troops on their first combat mission to enforce peace. Aware of potential threats against him, he boards a plane for a final attempt at negotiating a cease-fire. The film is directed by Per Fly.

In Swedish and English with English subtitles. The film runs 112 minutes.

Website
Cost: Art Exhibit is free; Museum admission is $15 for adults; $12 for seniors and $7 for students; free for members, military and children ages 6 and under

“Yakne Seminoli,” New Works by Seminole Artists Erica Deitz and Brian Zepeda, will launch Native American History Month (November) at History Fort Lauderdale. This collaboration with the Seminole Tribe of Florida’s Ah-Tah-Thi-Ki Museum will feature fine art and photography reflecting themes of leadership and respect. The exhibit opens with a meet and greet with the award-winning artists at 2 p.m. on October 20 at the New River Inn History Museum. The exhibit will run through January 5.

Born on the Winnebago Indian Reservation, Erica Deitz is a member of the Seminole Tribe of Florida on her mother’s side and Winnebago and Ojibway heritage on her father’s side. Her work offers an indigenous perspective in a variety of art mediums in a way that is accessible to a wide audience. Deitz’s passion to express herself through art began at the age of three as she painted with accomplished Native American artist Jo M. North, her mother. At the age of 10, Deitz entered her first major art contest and received a bronze medal for her work from the International Children’s Art Exhibition in Tokyo, Japan. She has continued to win awards for her artwork throughout her career. Deitz’s work is showcased in both solo and group exhibitions across the world, including the permanent collection in the National Museum of the American Indian in Washington, D.C. and in the Lowe Art Museum in Miami. Several pieces of her art have been displayed alongside fellow Seminole Tribal artists in the “Seminole Art Scene from Frontlines,” “Patchwork Mosaic: An Indigenous Gathering of Seminole Masterworks,” and “Circle of Unity.” These exhibitions were a centerpiece of the History Fort Lauderdale Museum’s Native American Heritage Month celebration. In addition, one of Dietz’s original acrylic paintings was selected as cover art for the June 2021 internationally circulated magazine, Indian Gaming Magazine.

Brian Zepeda became serious about learning photography in 1997 while employed at the Ah-Tah-Thi-Ki Museum. During his time there, he captured various items to send to interested collectors and institutes. His talents don’t end with his camera; his skills also include beadwork, woodcarving, silversmithing, leather smithing, building Chickees and more. Esteemed institutions and galleries have requested his beadwork as well as photography. Along with being a photographer and artist, Zepeda is a Seminole Tribe of Florida council/board liaison.

Entry to the exhibit is free with general admission – $15 for adults; $12 for seniors and $7 for students (through age 22 with a valid student ID). Admission is always free for members, military and children ages six and under. Tickets are available online at http://bit.ly/HistoryFortLauderdaleTickets.

History Fort Lauderdale is proud to host a variety of engaging multicultural experiences, year-round. It seeks to bring awareness to the community through both traveling exhibits and multiple permanent exhibits including “Women Trailblazers,” “Fort Lauderdale – the Early Years,” “The African American Experience,” “Fashion & Musical Theatre,” “From Dugouts to Dream Yachts: the story of boatbuilding along the New River,” Seminole Arts & Culture,” “New River Archaeology,” and “Take PRIDE, a retrospective on LGBTQ life in South Florida.” The nonprofit museum also hosts an artists’ collective collaborative space.

“Yakne Seminoli” is sponsored by the following funds at the Community Foundation of Broward: Jan and Ed Crocker Unrestricted Fund, Leo M. and Alice J. Rutten Fund and The Frederick A. DeLuca Foundation Broward Community Fund. Additional funding is provided, in part, by Broward County Board of County Commissioners as recommended by the Broward County Cultural Council and Visit Lauderdale. Additional support is provided by Seminole Tribe of Florida, Inc.

The inaugural Harbor Lights Golf Classic is set for Monday, October 28 at Grande Oaks Golf Club in Davie to benefit Children’s Harbor, a nationally accredited non-profit agency with a mission to help strengthen families who are struggling in our community, while providing safe shelter and support to teens in foster care so that they may grow into healthy, educated and productive adults.

Price: $750 for individuals, $2,500 for a foursome

“Whether you can lend your expertise to the planning committee, take advantage of a sponsorship opportunity or simply play on the beautiful Grande Oaks course, you can make a difference in helping to build a brighter future for our teens and their siblings,” Children’s Harbor President and CEO Tiffani Dhooge said.

Sponsors are already lining up their golf carts to help. Hospitality Sponsors Bauer Gutierrez & Borbon is joined by Birdie Sponsors Knights of Columbus Council 12240 INC. and Scoremax Tutoring, and Par Sponsors Alarm.com, M.A. Construction Group LLC and Miller Construction Company.

The scramble format begins at 9 a.m. To register your foursome or buy a sponsorship, click here.
Grande Oaks, located at 3201 W. Rolling Hills Circle in Davie, boasts a pristine 18-hole, par-71 course. Recently renovated by the legendary golfer Raymond Floyd, who also designed the course, it features Celebration grass on the tees and fairways, along with Tift Eagle grass on the putting surfaces.

About Children’s Harbor

Established in 1996, Children’s Harbor is a nationally accredited non-profit agency with a mission to help strengthen families who are struggling in our community, while providing safe shelter and support to teens in foster care so that they may grow into healthy, educated and productive adults.

With the belief that children should feel safe, that family is worth fighting for and that cycles can be broken, Children’s Harbor provides a harbor of hope and healing for children who have been impacted by the trauma of child abuse. The main campus in Pembroke Pines provides a supportive family environment for teenagers in foster care and their younger siblings. The family strengthening program prevents kids from coming into foster care by providing in-home counseling and support to families who are struggling in the community. Young adults aged 18-23 who have aged out of foster care are provided with housing and the wrap-around support and independent living programs necessary to help them overcome their trauma and navigate through the early stages of adulthood.

Brown’s Harbor is a supportive housing community that offers on-site staff, training, and wrap-around support services for young adults who have aged out of the foster care system, ages 18-23, helping to bridge the gap from dependence to independence.

Rosemary Duffy Larson Gallery A. Hugh Adams Central Campus
3501 Davie Rd., Fine Arts Building 6,
Davie, Florida, 33314

Cost: 0

Broward College’s Visual and Performing Arts department is hosting an opening reception for an art exhibit called “LEFTOVER” on Thursday, August 29 from 4 to 7 p.m. at the Rosemary Duffy Larson Gallery, located on the A. Hugh Adams Central Campus (3501 Davie Rd. in Davie). Artist Chao Ding will give a lecture at 5 p.m.

The gallery is located in Fine Arts Building 6 on the southwest corner of the campus. The event is free to attend and no prior registration is necessary.

In “LEFTOVER,” Chao Ding reveals the unusual beauty and poetic significance of deserted spaces through his expressive painting. In mundane scenes of quiet places and exploration of negative space, Ding finds narrative possibilities in a silent dialogue of human absence. Through this imagery that expresses feelings of isolation and displacement, he seeks to create quiet moments of reflection in our fast-paced world, so that new connections may be made.

Chao Ding is a Beijing-native perceptual painter now living and working in Sacramento, California. He received his MFA from Louisiana State University after completing his BA at Beijing University of Technology and postgraduate coursework at SUNY Buffalo State College. Ding’s work has been shown in both solo and group exhibitions nationally, including a commission for documentary art from the Burden Rural Life Museum. His residencies include New York’s Golden Foundation and the Vermont Studio Center, and his work is represented by Elliott Fouts Gallery.

The free exhibit will be on display at the Rosemary Duffy Larson Gallery from August 19 to September 21. The gallery is open on Mondays, Tuesdays, Thursdays, Fridays, and Saturdays from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m. and Wednesdays from 9 a.m. to 8 p.m. It is closed on Sundays and on Monday, September 2 in observance of Labor Day.
