How Signs and other Comedies came to be:
“Can we truly judge a book by its cover? Depending on the Sign can you see a miracle? “Signs†and Other Comedies explore these questions and more,†states the playwright and director Wendy White. “Based on a premise that a picture can say a thousand words, the playwrights were given a prompt of the name of sign and asked to write an entire play based on the sign they chose – resulting in comedic one act plays and monologues reflecting the signs of our times in the most unexpected places.â€
The playwright and director, Wendy White has written over 125 one-act plays and was a resident playwright, curator and director at the Kraine Theater in the East Village of New York City from 1984 to 1992, and at the Expanded Arts Theater Company from 1994 to 2001, in the Lower East Side of New York City. Her off-Broadway productions are the base for her new venue at the New Light Theatre. She recently produced her one woman show; The Jewish Nun to sold-out audiences in Off-Broadway’s 59e59 Theatre and at the Edinburgh Fringe Festival in Edinburgh, Scotland.
Adam White, Gallery owner, Gallery 101 went to see “Who Could Have Predicted†in Miami in May 2011 at Wynwood’s GAB studio and decided to offer Wendy a permanent home in his Fort Lauderdale gallery surrounded by cafes, restaurants, boutiques and other galleries. “Wendy and New Light Theatre will be able to cast plays every month and have a solid home base from which to create. We are very excited to have her here; she is an immense talent that promises to get even bigger and better with this wonderful association†states Adam White, Gallery owner, Gallery 101(www.gallery-101.com).
Wendy White would like to thank the wonderfully talented playwright Vanessa Garcia, Artistic Director of Krane, Inc. for all her support in the process of developing Signs and Other Comedies – In 2010, Garcia, the Founding Artistic Director of Krane, Inc. was named one of Miami’s 20 Under 40 by The Miami Herald for her work in theatre. For more information about Garcia, please visit: www.vanessagarcia.org
The dream team includes the fabulous playwright, Elaine Alonso-Cruz who is joining us with her brand new comedy “Full Speed Ahead!”
In 2009, the New Light Foundation, Inc. represented the United States as Art Ambassadors by the 1-2-3 Kinderlachen e.V. foundation of Rottenburg, Germany by hosting the international “Global Gallery†project (www.123kinderlachen.org). During the course of this important project, the “world’s biggest canvas†emerged; painted by children – transcending all borders and conflicts.
The New Light Foundation, a 501(c)3 non-profit public foundation, has won numerous awards around the globe, has performed everywhere from Amsterdam to Paris; from Miami to Los Angeles to New York City; and has tackled subjects relating to women, love, politics, and Shakespeare.

In 1979, The Romantics released their debut LP, anchored by “What I Like About You,†“When I Look In Your Eyes†and a cover of Ray Davies’ “She’s Got Everything.†The band continued to see success during the ‘80s with In Heat, a platinum album bearing two top ten singles, “Talking In Your Sleep†and “One In A Million.†In addition to being a staple on classic and contemporary rock radio, television commercials and movies, The Romantics continue touring and writing songs today.
The Machine Plays Pink Floyd with Intergalactic Light and Laser Show at Seminole Casino Coconut Creek
Friday, 01/18/2013, 08:00 pm – Seminole Casino Coconut Creek
5550 NW 40th Street ,
Coconut Creek, Florida 33073 Webpage Link
The Machine, America’s top Pink Floyd show, will bring its stellar performance and intergalactic laser lights to The Pavilion at Seminole Casino Coconut Creek on Friday, January 18 at 8 p.m. Tickets for the concert are on sale now.
The Machine has forged a 20 year reputation of excellence, extending the legacy of Pink Floyd, while creating another legacy all their own. The talented musicians that make up The Machine include founding members Joe Pascarell (guitar, vocals) and Tahrah Cohen (drums), as well as longtime stage mates Ryan Ball (bass, vocals) and Scott Chasolen (keys, vocals).
The New York based band focuses on making every show an authentic Floydian experience for their fans. Known for performing a diverse mix of The Floyd’s extensive 16-album repertoire, complete with faithful renditions of popular hits as well as obscure gems, The Machine’s stellar musicianship, dramatic lighting and video, and their passionate delivery sets them above and beyond the rest.
In the classic tradition, The Machine explores collective improvisation paralleling and even rivaling that of an early 1970s Pink Floyd mentality. Their use of expanded theatrical elements and elaborate stage displays continues in the spirit of the later Floyd lineups of the 1980s. The band is also known for recreating entire albums as a part of their show, accepting requests from fans, and for taking an A to Z approach in which one song is played for every letter of the alphabet. Additionally, the quartet has been sharing the stage with full symphony orchestras, including the Atlanta, Detroit, Pittsburgh and San Diego Symphonies.
Over the years, The Machine has touched the hearts and souls of many, selling out theaters, large clubs and casinos across North and Central America, Europe and Asia. They have also appeared at renowned music festivals such as Bonnaroo, Riverbend, Gathering of the Vibes, Buffalo’s Artpark and Germany’s Rock of Ages.
Tickets start at $15* and are available at www.ticketmaster.com. *Additional fees may apply

Seminole Casino Coconut Creek Unveils Designated Parking Spaces for Disabled American Veterans with “Black Hawk Down†Inspiration Michael Durant
Monday, 11/19/2012, 10:00 am – Seminole Casino Coconut Creek
5550 NW 40th Street,
Coconut Creek, Florida 33073 Webpage Link
Just one week after Veteran’s Day was observed across the nation, Seminole Casino Coconut Creek is proud to unveil special designated parking areas for Disabled American Veterans (DAV) on Monday, November 19 at 10 a.m. The covered parking spaces will be located on the third level of the new environmentally friendly garage featuring solar energy and green technology.
The ceremony will include several special guest speakers, including Broward County Commissioner Chip LaMarca, DAV of Vietnam and former Commander Chapter 133 Chuck McLaughlin, as well as the man whose life inspired the best-selling book and Academy Award-winning film “Black Hawk Down,†Michael Durant. Following the heartfelt presentation, the award-winning Fresh Harvest will provide a mouthwatering and nutritious meal to numerous invited veterans in gratitude of their patriotism and service.
Durant served in the United States Army 160th Special Operations Aviation Regiment Airborne, known as the “Night Stalkers,†and was the pilot of a Black Hawk helicopter that was fired upon and subsequently crashed during a combat operation in Somalia in 1993. After a street battle, he was captured and held prisoner for 11 days and was badly injured. The events were recounted in Mark Bowden’s book “Black Hawk Down†and Ridley Scott’s movie of the same name. Durant has since turned his experiences into a powerful story of survival and inspiration for all as a renowned speaker and New York Times best-selling author of “In the Company of Heroes†and “The Night Stalkers.â€
“Seminole Casino Coconut Creek is committed to supporting and giving back to those who have served our country,†said Steve Bonner, President of Seminole Casino Coconut Creek. “There are many veterans in our community, and we are proud to dedicate these special parking spaces solely to them in honor of their service.â€
The 1.2 million-member DAV is a non-profit 501(c)(4) charity dedicated to building better lives for America’s disabled veterans and their families. The DAV was founded in 1920 by disabled veterans returning from World War I to represent their unique interests. The DAV’s Voluntary Services Program operates a comprehensive network of volunteers who provide veterans free rides to and from medical facilities and improve care and morale for sick and disabled veterans.
DAV members provide grassroots advocacy and services in communities nationwide. From educating lawmakers and the public about important issues, to supporting services and legislation to help disabled veterans, the DAV is there to promote its message of hope to all who have served and sacrificed.

The band’s stellar reputation grew with each album, and 1973’s gold disc Wild & Peaceful took Kool and the Gang to another level, spurring the immortal party anthems “Funky Stuff,†“Hollywood Swinging†and the platinum smash “Jungle Boogie.†Kool and the Gang saw continued success with the smashes “Open Sesame,†“Get Down On It,†“Take My Heart,†“Let’s Go Dancing,†“Cherish,†and “Fresh,†all helping to solidify the groups’ international stardom.
Kool and the Gang has sold over 70 million albums worldwide and influenced the music of three generations. The group has earned two Grammy Awards, seven American Music Awards, 25 Top Ten R&B hits, nine Top Ten Pop hits and 31 gold and platinum albums to date.

Three Dog Night to Bring “Joy to the World†at Seminole Casino Coconut Creek
Saturday, 01/05/2013, 08:00 pm – Seminole Casino Coconut Creek
5550 NW 40th Street,
Coconut Creek, Florida 33073 Webpage Link
Three Dog Night, one of the most successful American bands of the ‘60s and ‘70s, will bring “joy to the world†on Saturday, January 5, 2013 at 8 p.m. at The Pavilion at Seminole Casino Coconut Creek.
Founding members and vocalists Cory Wells and Danny Hutton, original keyboardist Jimmy Greenspoon and guitarist Michael Allsup, as well as bassist Paul Kingery and drummer Pat Bautz will perform their beloved hits, plus some amazing new songs, sure to be enjoyed by South Florida Fans of all ages.
With their distinctive and sometimes extraordinary harmonic blend, the group became a sensation and their hits appeared on best-selling charts in multiple genres, including pop, rock and country. Boasting chart and sales records that are virtually unmatched in popular music, Three Dog Night had an impressive 21 consecutive Billboard Top 40 hits, including three number one singles, “Mama Told Me (Not to Come),” which was also a Top 10 hit in the United Kingdom, “Joy to the World,” and “Black and White.” Coincidentally, each one featured a different lead singer.
Three Dog Nights’ version of John Lennon and Paul McCartney’s ‘’It’s For You’’ typified the band at their best, but it was their original arrangements of the work of lesser-known writers that brought welcome exposure and considerable royalties to fresh talent. The group recorded the music of the best new songwriters of their time, including Harry Nilsson (“One”), Randy Newman (“Mama Told Me (Not to Come)”), Elton John (“Lady Samantha†and “Your Songâ€), Laura Nyro (“Eli’s Coming”), Paul Williams (“An Old Fashioned Love Songâ€) and Hoyt Axton (“Joy to the World”) among many others. The band was noted for its creative arrangements and interpretations, and their cover choices gave exposure to several of these talented songwriters.
As they mark more than 40 years of extraordinary music and touring on the road, Three Dog Nights’ records continue to sell around the world, reaching beyond the borders of the U.S. into Japan, Canada, Holland, England, Germany, Spain and more.

Orlando has a unique ability to move and excite an audience unlike any other, and became a teenage idol at the age of 16 with his first hit, “Halfway to Paradise†in 1961. Soon after he became a music publisher for Clive Davis at April-Blackwood Music, where he signed popular songwriters such as James Taylor. His career continued to expand when he lent his voice to a demo record for the song titled “Candida†that became wildly popular and climbed the charts all the way to number one.
Following this success, he recorded the mega sensation “Knock Three Times†which not only became number one, but was the top song of 1971 selling over six million copies worldwide, and was featured in the hit movie Now and Then. Three additional number one hits soon followed, “Tie A Yellow Ribbon ‘Round The Ole Oak Tree,†“My Sweet Gypsy Rose†and “He Don’t Love You (Like I Love You).â€
Deciding to jump full force into what was already a meteoric rise to the top, Orlando released a string of even more successful songs, including “Who’s in the Strawberry Patch with Sally,†“Cupid,†“Steppin’ Out-I’m Gonna Boogie Tonight†and “Mornin’ Beautiful.†To date, he has sold millions of records across the globe and remains one of America’s most beloved personalities.
Over the years, he has been a recipient of three American Music Awards, a People’s Choice Award and was one of the first entertainers to be featured as a subject of VH1’s Behind the Music in 1998. He was also awarded a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame in 1990 for his outstanding achievements in the entertainment industry.

Fab Faux at Parker Playhouse

In 1966, the Beatles stopped touring. Of course, they kept making records. Really great records. They just never performed them live.
The Fab Faux picks up where the Beatles left off as live performers. The Beatles tribute–heralded as the best in the world by everyone from Rolling Stone to Paul McCartney–performs the Beatles’ latter records as faithfully to the recordings as possible. They leave the wigs at home.
The group is led by Jimmy Vivino of Conan O’Brien’s band and Will Lee of David Letterman’s. Lee is a Grammy winner and has performed with three of the Beatles. The Fab Faux is five piece–a necessity for performing the Beatles’ complex masterpieces–and brings a horn section and a string section to round it out.
It’s been a year and a half since the Fab Faux’s last visit to south Florida. In that time, their live appearances have only generated more buzz. In Los Angeles last year, Gary Oldman made a surprise appearance and introduced the band, while Bill Mayer, Bill Bob Thornton, Jeff Bridges and many more famous Beatles lovers looked on.
At their Parker Playhouse concert, the Fab Faux will perform Magical Mystery Tour in its entirety, followed by a second set of selections from other albums. The Fab Faux is the one band any Beatles fan must see. http://www.thefabfaux.com/
Opening Reception – Following the Line
Friday, 11/02/2012, 06:00 pm – 09:00 pm Girls’ Club
117 NE 2nd Street ,
Fort Lauderdale, Florida 33301 Webpage Link
Girls’ Club presents Following the Line, featuring works by thirty international artists using hand-drawn line as the primary unit of expression. Curated by Miami gallerist Carol Jazzar, the works in Following the Line are created in many mediums, including graphite, ink, colored pencil, layered mylar, etching, aquatint, lithography and hand-drawn animation.
Manifesting the close connection to the artist’s hand and thought, drawings have historically been defined as intimate. Some are smaller in scale. Some are conceived as preparatory to final works in other media. Drawings may commit fleeting, ephemeral concepts to paper, itself a less permanent support. The persistent vitality of drawing today, developing alongside high tech digital and moving image media, will be emphasized. Linear works that owe their inspiration to drawing will craft an “expanded†definition of drawing in use today.
A catalog designed by Augusto Mendoza will accompany the exhibition and includes essays by curator Carol Jazzar, independent curator and writer Sue Spaid, and poetry by Denise Duhamel.
A year-long schedule of artist talks, workshops and film screenings invite the public to share Girls’ Club’s investigation of drawing in contemporary art. For details of events visit: http://girlsclubcollection.org/events.

Legendary Boxer Mike Tyson Brings His Knockout Broadway Show, Mike Tyson: Undisputed Truth, to Seminole Casino Coconut Creek
Saturday, 11/10/2012, 09:00 pm – Seminole Casino Coconut Creek – The Pavilion
5550 NW 40th Street,
Coconut Creek, Florida 33073 Webpage Link
One of the world’s most powerful sports figures, former heavyweight boxing champion Mike Tyson, will bring his popular Broadway show, MIKE TYSON: UNDISPUTED TRUTH, to The Pavilion at Seminole Casino Coconut Creek on Saturday, November 10 at 9 p.m. This will be the only performance in Florida, giving fans a special chance to see the show and learn more about the star.
MIKE TYSON: UNDISPUTED TRUTH is a rare, personal look inside the life and mind of one of the most complicated men ever to wear the heavyweight belt. Directed by Academy Award nominee Spike Lee, this riveting one man show goes beyond the headlines, behind the scenes and between the lines to deliver a must-see theatrical knockout.
For nearly three decades, Tyson has been a legend both in and out of the ring. Tenacious, talented and thrilling to watch, Tyson embodies the wit and flair of a truly larger-than-life personality. With nicknames like “Iron Mike,†“Kid Dynamite,†and “The Baddest Man on the Planet,†it’s no surprise that Tyson was once the most feared fighter in all of boxing. He won his first 19 professional bouts by knockout, 12 of them in the first round, and one look at the long list of his victories and accomplishments is all that it takes to see that Tyson is one of boxing’s all-time greats.
While most fans know that he was once the undisputed heavyweight champion of the world, few realize that before Tyson, no boxer had ever won the three biggest belts in prizefighting – the World Boxing Council, World Boxing Association and International Boxing Federation world heavyweight titles. He holds the record as the youngest boxer to achieve that feat at the age of 20, and none, besides Tyson, have ever owned them simultaneously.
Throughout his career, Tyson became well known for his fierce and daunting boxing style. He was ranked No. 16 on Ring Magazine’s list of “100 Greatest Punchers of All Time†and No. 1 in the ESPN.com list of “The Hardest Hitters in Heavyweight History.” He has also been inducted into the International Boxing Hall of Fame as well as the World Boxing Hall of Fame.
Tickets start at $145* and are available at www.ticketmaster.com. *Additional fees may apply

“Feel the Noize†as Quiet Riot Performs Free at Seminole Casino Coconut Creek’s Nectar Lounge

5550 NW 40th Street,
Coconut Creek, Florida 33073 Webpage Link
Seminole Casino Coconut Creek is offering the chance to “feel the noize†and see the rock and roll phenomenon Quiet Riot at Nectar Lounge FREE on Saturday, October 20 at 9 p.m. The Los Angeles quartet became an overnight sensation thanks to their monster 1983 smash album Metal Health.
The American heavy metal band, best known for their hit singles “Metal Health” and “Cum On Feel the Noize,” was founded in 1973 by guitarist Randy Rhoads and bassist Kelly Garni. The original line-up featured Rhoads and Garni with lead vocalist Kevin DuBrow and drummer Drew Forsyth. Their current lineup consists of lead vocalist Scott Vokoun, drummer Frankie Banali, bassist Chuck Wright and guitarist Alex Grossi. Quiet Riot began by regularly opening for Van Halen in several local clubs, before either act had a record deal, and the co-influence can be heard between Randy Rhoads and Eddie Van Halen.
Metal Health’s title track had been released as the album’s first single and reached No. 31 on the charts. The song’s success could be attributed to its appearance in the 1984 movie Footloose, as well as its popularity as a heavily-rotated video on MTV. The album stormed up the U.S. charts, duly reaching the number one spot and going platinum five times over in the process at that time.
In 1983, Quiet Riot’s second single “Cum On Feel the Noize” was released. A cover of the 1973 hit by Slade, the single spent two weeks at No. 5 on the Billboard Hot 100 chart and was the first heavy metal song to make the top five on that chart. The success of the single helped carry the album Metal Health to the top of the Billboard album chart, making it the first American heavy metal debut album to ever reach No. 1 in the U.S. To date, the sales of Metal Health have exceeded the 10 million mark worldwide.
Quiet Riot returned to the studio to record 1984’s Condition Critical, which went on to sell over 2 million copies in the U.S. and included another chart-ready Slade cover in “Mama Weer All Crazee Now” and the self-penned “Party All Night.” The group has since gone on to release several successful albums and tour worldwide, and has been ranked on VH1’s “100 Greatest Artists of Hard Rock.”

A portion of the proceeds will go to the Jack & Jill’s Children’s Center, their mission is to break the cycle of poverty for children of low-income, working families in Broward County through family-oriented child care services and family intervention and support.
Everyone in South Florida knows that Total Wine & More is a great place to shop for Beer, Spirits and Wine. I’d have preferred they called it Total Beer and More, but that’s just me. The variety of products, great prices, regular tastings and knowledgeable, friendly staff are just the beginning, too.
Total Wine offers regular educational opportunities for their customers as well. You know, the fun kind of education. Not geometry and grammar, though those are two of my interests. But I’ll save that for another time. Yes, Total Wine offers beer classes, wine tastings with the actual wine makers, whiskey classes with specialists in the business and everything in between. Got a Tequila fetish? This is your store!
For a nominal fee, usually between $15 and $25, consumers can attend one of these events. They are conveniently scheduled, regular events, too, and often they are happening at multiple locations simultaneously so you have your choice. I’ve personally been to a few of their classes. First, Whiskeys Around the World presented by a Senior Master of Whiskey and more recently one called Bourbon Essentials, in addition to a few beer events which I just assumed you knew. I learned a lot. They were very interesting, fun, nice to meet other people, enjoyable experiences. We were able to sample a variety of products, selected for quality and value, and even get some coupons to use afterward.
My wife and a friend just signed up for a Wine Class called Malbec and Other Sexy Wines of South America. And I heard the store manager just yesterday talking about Single Malt Scotch and Tequila classes coming up soon. With 9 local South Florida stores, you will surely have no problem finding something that interests you too. Pick a store and check out their calendar.
I recently asked Greg Tuttle, Total Wine’s Product Education Manager, based out of their Corporate office in Potomac, MD, a few questions. If you have your own questions, Greg is on Twitter, and he or his staff will be happy to get you some answers about their educational series. Plus he’s pretty cool. You might even bump into him one day. For real, I did. And don’t think I’m being a dick with my questions. I just wanted to play Devil’s Advocate and get the real scoop.
Total Wine's Greg Tuttle and Rob Hill
Me: Why go to the trouble of organizing educational classes for your customers? It seems like a lot of work for not a lot of money. Are you just trying to get a few more customers into your store?
Greg: We believe that knowledgeable customers are the best customers. At Total Wine & More, with our wide selection of wines, beers, and spirits, we have an opportunity to engage with customers in educational environments where we can share some of the breadth of our product portfolio. Customers can taste and learn in a relaxed atmosphere, and expose their palates to products and flavors they may never have otherwise tried.
Me: How do you make sure your presenters are ready for an enthusiastic and well-versed audience? What type of training do you make sure your employees or guest presenters have beforehand? How do you ensure they are qualified?
Greg: Indeed our audiences are enthusiastic, but their level of knowledge spans the spectrum from beginner to expert. Thus, we tailor the classes down the middle, so there is something for everybody including tasting a new product they’ve never tasted before, and/or learning something new about wine, beer or spirits that they did not previously know. Our area vice presidents and district managers select the class presenters for each store based on the presenters’ exhibiting core subject matter knowledge and presentation skills.
This is where I tried to zing him, LOL: How do you select the products that will be tasted? Do you just pick a handful of beers that are average and not selling well?
Greg: For beer classes, we first determine a set of class themes for the year, aiming to cover a wide spectrum of customers interests and previous beer knowledge, and then within each theme certain beer styles are selected to match that theme. Beer selections are challenging because availability of beer differs from one state to the next and from one market to another within the state. Typically, class presenters are given a list of beers for each beer style covered from which they can chose what to feature in their class based on availability in their store. They are also allowed to feature locally produced beers that may not be on the list.
Me: Is there anything else about Total Wine’s educational series that you think is very important or interesting?
Greg: Our product education series is constantly expanding and evolving. New classes are introduced each year, while prior favorites are updated and included in the roster. A person who attends each class offered, be it wine, beer, or spirits, will in a year’s time be exposed to an incredibly wide sampling of the varietals and styles available to him/her.
Me (trying for the Krabby Patty Formula): Are there any secret surprises we can look forward to in S. Florida in the coming months?
Greg: No “secrets†up our sleeves right now, but I suggest your readers follow our Twitter accounts (@TWMBeer and @Totalwine) and on Facebook for updates.
