From the Editor

November is an exciting time in Palm Beach. With the annual population swell officially upon us, this month brings a flurry of social engagements and charitable events—both harbingers of a busy season ahead.

Personally, I’m looking forward to all of it, but I’m most excited about the cultural offerings on the horizon. London and New York may be hubs for avant-garde theater and galleries, but there is much to ponder in our own community. To introduce you to the local arts scene, we have dedicated the November issue to the people and events that enrich our cultural landscape.

On page 76, meet six innovators who are breaking new ground in music, theater, and the visual arts. It takes passion to persevere in disciplines that require a constant pushing of the boundaries, and these men and women have it in spades. Turn to “Creative Calling” to learn what sparks their genius and where they’re headed next.

Our centerpiece this month is our annual “Cultural Preview.” This 12-page feature, accompanied by an extended calendar of events and gallery roster, delves into the arts season with highlights by category, interviews with key players, and detailed information on shows you won’t want to miss. Our resident arts expert, Mary Murray, spent months curating this content into one meaningful package to which you can refer all season. For more arts coverage, including Mary’s reviews and cultural musings, follow the Curtain Call blog on palmbeachillustrated.com.

Since November is also a time for giving thanks, we asked five area chefs to compose a Thanksgiving feast for us. These are not dishes you can order at their restaurants, but rather family recipes they reserve for their dinner tables at home.

Thanks to photographer Libby Volgyes’ artistic interpretation, the story is also a feast for the eyes. Turn to “Chef’s Table” on page 58, and if you feel compelled to make these at home, visit palmbeachillustrated.com for the recipes.

Here’s to another exciting season!

recipes adapted from Florida’s official chef, Justin Timineri.

recipe

CORN-UCOPIA Fall harvest brims with sweet corn. Pick

up a few ears and try this recipe for corn-and-shrimp chowder, a southern specialty with a Florida Twist.

Ingredients (Serves 4) 1 tbsp. unsalted butter 1 cup chopped onions 3 cups diced potatoes 3 cups fresh sweet corn kernels 2 tbsp. all-purpose flour 2 sprigs of thyme

2 cups vegetable stock 2 cups whole milk 1 lb. medium Gulf shrimp, peeled and deveined 2 dashes hot pepper sauce, or to taste Salt and freshly ground pepper to taste Ground paprika to taste

In a large pot, melt butter over medium-high heat. Add onions, potatoes, and corn, and sauté for three minutes. Add flour and stir until incorporated. Stir in milk, vegetable stock, thyme, and a few dashes of hot pepper sauce, then cover and bring to a boil. (For a creamier chowder, use four cups of milk instead of vegetable stock.) Once boiling, uncover, reduce heat, and simmer until potatoes are tender.

Discard thyme and remove from heat.

Take a third of the cooked mixture and puree in a food processor or blender until smooth; return to the pot. Increase to medium-high heat and bring to a simmer.

Add shrimp and cook until opaque—about four to five minutes. Season with salt and pepper to taste. If chowder is too thick, add vegetable stock until desired consistency and allow to heat. Serve in a bowl with a dash of hot sauce and paprika.

Dwarf galaxy caught ramming into a large spiral galaxy

looking up

From the New Horizons Pluto flyby to the announcement of NASA’s plan to put people on Mars by 2040, this has been a stellar year for astronomy. Defined as the study of stars, planets, and other objects in outer space, astronomy enchants amateurs and professionals with the joy of observing the skies. Since the 1960s, the Astronomical Society of the Palm Beaches has invited people from all walks of life to explore the world above them through monthly meetings and observational sessions while also explaining issues facing modern-day astronomers, namely light pollution. “The Astronomical Society of the Palm Beaches exists to bring astronomy to everyone in the Palm Beaches,” says Sam Storch, a member of ASPB’s board of directors and a former astronomy professor. “Astronomy has a lot of amateurs, and it really is possible for an amateur astronomer to make a scientific contribution.” Whether you want to discover a planet or simply chase comet tails, ASPB can help you find magic in the moonlight.

For anyone who has ever searched the Internet for hours or gone on department-store treasure hunts for that must-have piece spotted in a fashion magazine, the ultimate shopping tool has arrived.

Founded by Lake Worth resident Dana Ross, Lilly List is a onestop website that simplifies the task of finding those coveted items.

“Lilly List is based on the idea that we scour the best magazines for the hottest fashions and then research where to buy them online,” Ross says. Lilly List launched last year and features pieces from top national and regional magazines, including Vogue, Elle, Harper’s Bazaar, Vanity Fair, and—of course—Palm Beach Illustrated. In addition to finding the most conDana Ross venient points of purchase, Ross also categorizes products based on style and selection, with attention to trends, seasons, and demographics. While she describes her style as “classic with a pop of the unexpected,” Ross notes that Lilly List has something for every fashion fan. “No matter what your personal style is, I believe style is about feeling confident and comfortable, like you are ready to take on the world,” she says.

PALM BEACH ILLUSTRATED

Palm Beach is a colorful destination.

Color Palm Beach!, a coloring book by artist Christina Kirk Kramer (below), allows budding Picassos to put their personal touch on the Palm Beach palette. The book depicts a variety of island imagery and landmarks such as the Dog Bar on Worth Avenue, Green’s Pharmacy, and The Breakers. “The images I chose to include in the book are those quintessential sights that come to mind when you think of Palm Beach,” Kirk Kramer says. Color Palm Beach! can be purchased through Kirk Kramer’s website (colorpalm beach.com) and at stores around Palm Beach, including Stationer on Sunrise and Barzina.

In honor of our annual culture issue, we’ve teamed up with Kirk Kramer to host a kid’s coloring contest. Visit palmbeachillustrated.com/coloringcontest to download a page from Color Palm Beach!

Make it your own, and then submit it for a chance to win an art class of your choice at the Armory Art Center in West Palm Beach.

Happy coloring! —M.M.

Tony Arruza with his custom surfboards

Legendary Hawaiian surfer and Olympic swimmer Duke Kahanamoku once said, "Out of water, I am nothing." But for West Palm Beach wave rider and surf photographer Tony Arruza, out-of-water activities certainly are turning into something.

Over his decades-long career, Arruza’s photos have been featured in such publications as Surfing Magazine and Audubon. The past five years, though, have been devoted to a photographic project called “15 Surfboards by 15 Shapers.”

This venture into “functional art” pays homage to the craftsmanship of the custom surfboard shaper—a “dying art,” Arruza says—by displaying his images on 15 specially made boards. He selected some of the master shapers in the field to create the surfboards, even traveling to Australia to work with renowned shaper Bob McTavish on the final board.

Arruza intends to exhibit the boards locally, each of which is unique in its own way, whether it’s the shape, the handmade fins, or the colors. The photographic images used from Arruza’s far-flung travels also vary greatly in subject matter— from a giant, serene pelican to a hibiscus flower. Every board is titled and will be given a limited-edition number, but Arruza's dream is to have the first-edition series bought by a collector and exhibited together. Regardless of where they end up, they will collectively be found in a book Arruza will self-publish on the project. (arruza.com) —Jane Moore

movement,” Henry says. “We already have a great infrastructure with the city, and we have large buildings to do murals. We basically have that blank canvas, so now it’s just bringing the artists in to fill it in.”

Street art will be the main thrust, but artists will develop many types of works, including sculptures and video installations. The common thread throughout all will be the city. Henry curated the show in part to help West Palm find its own identity, so she tasked each artist to establish some sort of connection to the area. “Every piece that’s going to be in Canvas is a piece that can speak to the city,” she says.

The canvased area will be concentrated in a few city blocks in downtown West Palm Beach, so visi-

Discover Delray As a small town with a big-city feel, Delray Beach has become an essential part of Palm Beach County.

Since its founding more than 100 years ago, Delray Beach’s population has boomed to 60,000 residents.

Established in 1964, the Delray Beach Historical Society keeps the city’s legacy alive with historic beach walks that extend from the Delray Wreck State Marker to the Nassau Park Historic District and tours of the Cason Cottage Museum, a home that exemplifies the South Florida lifestyle between 1915 and 1935. The cottage opens this month, with docent-led tours available every Wednesday, Thursday, and Friday. Before you go, brush up on your Delray know-how with these three facts. (561-274-9578, delraybeachhistory.org) —E.C.

• Recorded history of Delray Beach began in 1876 with the construction of the Orange Grove House of Refuge, built by the U.S. Life-Saving Service to rescue and shelter shipwrecked sailors.

• Many of Delray’s first residents built their homes on Atlantic Avenue, and today it is the longest main street in Florida.

• John Shaw Sundy was the city’s first mayor. His former home is the oldest in Delray Beach and has been converted into the Sundy House, a restaurant and inn.

This month, the buildings of West Palm Beach will be painted red—and yellow, blue, and green. Canvas, an outdoor art show, will bring the works of more than 20 artists to the downtown district from November 8-22. Local gallery owner and event founder Nicole Henry took inspiration from established arts festivals to create something completely unique for West Palm Beach.

“I feel like West Palm Beach is really on the verge of blowing up artistically because everybody in this city loves art and the city is very supportive of the art

tors can easily walk from one installation to the next.

They’ll also be able to vote for their favorite piece and share it on social media with a special app.

Henry is also planning supplemental VIP happenings and free events like the Canvas Local Showdown on November 13 and the Canvas Kids Day on November 15. The Canvas Local Showdown will take place at ArtHouse 429 and will see seven local artists paint garage doors, with the crowd’s favorite creator being awarded a spot on next year’s Canvas roster.

On the Kids Day, participating Canvas artists will help young creators make their own street art.

Ideally, Henry hopes Canvas becomes an annual event that propels the city on a path toward becoming the next great arts destination. “I’d like to have West Palm Beach become an artistic and cultural hub in our country,” she says. “I feel like it has the infrastructure to be able to do that. Now, it’s just bringing awareness to our city.” (561-906-6432, canvaswpb.org) —M.M.

Escape CAY TO

Heaven

By Daphne Nikolopoulos

T

hese days, it’s not enough to jet off to a private island. Accommodations that mimic private homes, precise service by a personal butler, and experiences indigenous to the destination are the new musts. At Parrot Cay, you can have it all.

palmbeachillustrated.com | NOVEMBER 2015

Escape

Yoga on the beach is a staple at Parrot Cay, where the COMO Shambhala philosophy of wellness reigns.

F

or the private-island experience, it has traditionally been necessary to travel halfway around the world to archipelagos like the Maldives or Fiji, on planes, yachts, and automobiles.

Accessibility—or rather a lack of—has been part of the charm of vacationing away from the masses.

Yet one of the world’s most refined private islands is close to home: Parrot Cay, a 1,000acre isle in Turks and Caicos, is so easily accessible (a short flight from Florida, plus a 20-minute boat ride) and yet so exclusive, it seems almost too good to be true—at least until you stand on its blinding-white sands in front of your two-bedroom beach house, while your personal butler mixes up a pitcher of rum punch.

Paradise? No question.

The private beach surrounded by native vegetation on one side and calm, turquoise waters on the other—and no neighbors within eyeshot—imparts a delicious feeling of isolation. It is tempting to never leave the confines of the Asian-style retreat, designed in modern Balinese rhythms and decorated with honey-toned woods and white fabrics.

And why not? It’s all here: a private plunge pool with a wood deck for lounging and intimate dining; airy interiors; two-bedroom suites with dressing rooms, glass-enclosed bathrooms, and outdoor showers; and the aforementioned butler, ready to cater to his guests’ every whim.

Most of the butlers at Parrot Cay are Balinese or Bhutanese, and their Asian hospital-

ity is gentle and unobtrusive. They have a talent for exceeding expectations. Ask them for a private poolside dinner for two, and they will come to your villa with dozens of candle lanterns and flower petals. The trembling candlelight, the fragrant breeze, and the sigh of the surf add up to the most romantic setting imaginable.

For more active days, the COMO Shambhala Spa is a must. The Shambhala wellness concept was pioneered by COMO and is offered at a handful of exclusive resorts worldwide. Shambhala combines ancient healing with modern science for a total approach to well-being. Nestled within the wetlands, the Parrot Cay retreat offers unique opportunities for Asian-inspired modalities, such as Ayurvedic lifestyle consultations, Abhyanga Lotus Bar serves island cocktails, alfresco style.

massage, shiatsu, Javanese royal baths, Shirodhara, Indian head massage, Pizichili oil treatment, and, of course, a full yoga and meditation schedule. The COMO Shambhala Cottage is a spa sanctuary for two that can be rented for four or eight hours.

The Shambhala notion also extends to food. An extensive menu with raw, vegan, vegetarian, and clean-dining options is available alongside the resort’s island cuisine—and is rather divine, both in creativity and taste.

Not surprisingly, Parrot Cay has been discovered by a few celebrities (Donna Karan, Keith Richards, Bruce Willis, Christie Brinkley) and A-listers who have purchased property on the island. So you never know whom you might run into—if only you could tear yourself away from your private slice of paradise. (parrotcay.com; comoshambhala.com)«

MUST DOS:

• Stroll around the island and past

the privately owned villas. Many of these spectacular retreats are offered for rental.

• Take advantage of the watersports, such as SUP-ing, deep-sea fishing, or sailing.

• If the COMO Ayurvedic doctor is in residence, ask for a consultation. He can structure a wellness program for you or simply give advice on holistic healing.

In the three-bedroom villa, the main suite overlooks a private deck with daybed and, of course, the cool Caribbean waters.

Beach picnic à deux: Parrot Cay is all about romance and delicious seclusion.

TROPICAL TURKEY Gentrifying a Hawaiian dish he enjoyed as a child, executive chef Kevin Darr of City Cellar Wine Bar and Grill in West Palm Beach gives the traditional Thanksgiving turkey a Polynesian punch. Once the bird has been brined with garlic, herbs, and Sriracha sauce, it’s stuffed with fresh pineapple, wrapped in banana leaves, and pitroasted for 12 hours. The result is fall-apart, tender meat.

Miami City Ballet is pulling out all the stops for its thirtieth season. By pairing works by such masters as George Balanchine and Twyla Tharp with pieces by contemporary choreographic giants like Justin Peck and Liam Scarlett, MCB has built a textured schedule of standards and premieres—all of which will come to the Kravis Center in West Palm Beach.

“Program One” arrives November 13-15 and includes Balanchine’s Swan Lake, Scarlett’s Viscera, and Fancy Free, the Jerome Robbins and Leonard Bernstein World War II ballet that inspired the musical On The Town. MCB returns January 29-31 for “Program Two,” featuring Balanchine’s La Source, Peter Martin’s Barber Violin Concerto, and Tharp’s In The Upper Room, which is set to a postmodern score by Philip Glass and presented in commemoration of Tharp’s fiftieth year as a choreographer.

The truly thrilling—not to mention innovative— content arrives in the latter half of the season.

“Program Three” comprises two company premieres: Peck’s Year of the Rabbit (set to music by Sufjan Stevens) and Paul Taylor’s Sunset, featuring the eerie sounds of Edward Elgar. Palm Beachers can catch these ballets, as well as Balanchine’s Bourrée Fantasque, February 2628. MCB finishes out the season April 1-3 with the Balanchine ballet A Midsummer Night’s Dream reimagined for a South Florida audience. The piece will still be set to music

by Felix Mendelssohn but also will feature costumes and a set design by Michelle Oka Doner and dramatic direction by playwright Tarell Alvin McCraney. Six vocalists and 24 children will join MCB dancers in weaving together a compelling interpretation of this Shakespearean story. (305929-7010, miamicityballet.org)

Also celebrating a benchmark year, the Boca Ballet Theatre has packed its twenty-fifth season with one-off shows and short runs of popular ballets. On November 1, attend “A Princely Affair,” an annual gala event held at the Boca Raton Resort & Club that includes performances

by New York City Ballet principal dancers Sara Mearns and Jared Angle.

Other season highlights include The Nutcracker (November 27-29); “A Spring Mix,” featuring the one-act Flower Festival at Genzano (May 7-8); Giselle (July 29-31); and a special anniversary performance March 19 at the Countess de Hoernle Theatre in Boca Raton.

The Chamber Music Society of Palm Beach is upping the ante for its third season by shining a spotlight on emerging artists. In addition to its invite-only concerts at the Mar-a-Lago Club, the society will also present three public concerts at the Eissey Campus Theatre in Palm Beach Gardens. The Hermès Quartet (January 14), violinist Paul Huang Cicely Parnas (February 24), and cellist Cicely Parnas (March 24) are all members of Young Concert Artists, an organization dedicated to fostering the careers of exceptional young musicians.

Flagler Museum Music Series Combine world-class chamber music with the Gilded Age surrounds of Whitehall, and you have the recipe for a transcendental evening of entertainment. This year, the Flagler Museum Music Series boasts five performances from a coterie of established and burgeoning classical musicians. Formed in 2009, the New Orford String Quartet (January 12) may be one of the youngest groups in the mix, but it’s also one of the most acclaimed, having garnered international praise for its 2011 debut album. The Vega String Quartet (January 26) is the quartet in residence at Emory University and has toured throughout Asia, Europe, and North America.

Taking its name from a Gaelic word meaning “bright and radiant,” the Neave Trio (February 9) is not defined by strings alone, as pianist Toni James joins violinist Anna Williams and cellist Mikhail Veselov. From Gaelic to Czech, the Bennewitz Quartet (February 23) adopted its name in honor of violinist Antonin Bennewitz, a harrowing figure in the world of Czech classical music. The Meccore String Quartet (March 8) rounds out the series with its thrilling—and award-winning— take on the chamber music repertoire. (561-655-2833, flaglermuseum.us)

Palm Beach Symphony Even as a child, Ramon Tebar’s world revolved around music. Born and raised in Valencia, Spain, he began playing piano around age 5 and was immediately obsessed. “Since I was very little, I just [knew] to make music—that’s everything I wanted to do,” he says. “I started playing music before I could even read it.”

As the artistic and music director for the Palm Beach Symphony, he harnesses that innate passion for the conductor podium in every perfor-

mance. This season, he’ll conduct five programs, each at a different venue in the county. “The repertoire of the program is very connected to the venue,” he says.

For example, on December 7, the symphony will mount a subdued season opener at the intimate Society of the Four Arts Walter S. Gubelmann Auditorium. “Homage to Pablo Casals” will feature soloist Amit Peled playing on a cello Casals himself once owned. The season closer, however, is a “Monumental Engagement”— in name, theme, and venue. On April 10, pianist Lola Astanova will join the symphony for a program that concludes with the company premiere of Mahler’s Symphony No. 5.

Other 2016 Palm Beach Symphony performances include “Notes from the Balcony” at the Flagler Museum (January 11), “Two German Romantics” at The Benjamin School (January 27), and “Fantastique Evening” at the Mar-a-Lago Club (March 16).

Before you go, get to know the man on the podium. PBI caught up with Tebar ahead of the season to talk about his musical roots and his love of conducting. (561-655-2657, palmbeachsymphony.org) PBI: At what point did you decide to focus on conducting?

Tebar: When I was 15, I won my first contract to work in my hometown opera theater as a piano accompanist for the rehearsals of the opera and also as assistant conductor. I found myself being in the middle of opera

For its tenth anniversary season, the Symphonia Boca Raton is moving on up—to Palm Beach Gardens. This year, the symphony will complement its popular connoisseur concert series at the Roberts Theatre at Saint Andrews School in Boca Raton with additional performances at the Eissey Campus Theatre. There are two opportunities to catch its second performance, “Celebrate the Seasons”: first at Eissey on January 9 and then at the Roberts Theatre on January 10. The concert will feature guest conductor and violin soloist David Kim, oboe soloist John Dee, and a program that includes two of Bach’s Brandenburg Concertos, Pachelbel’s Canon, and Piazzolla’s The Four Seasons of Buenos Aires. The symphony will perform its final concert, “A Tribute to the Masters,” March 20 at the Roberts Theatre and March 22 at Eissey. Led by guest conductor Gerard Schwarz and piano soloist Misha Dichter, it will honor Beethoven, Ives, and Mendelssohn. (561-376-3848, thesymphonia.org)

productions, and I started conducting the band backstage. Everything came very natural, [and then] I had the chance to conduct my first opera.

I was about 19, 20, and it was Don Pasquale.

What’s the most rewarding aspect of conducting?

I always like to say that when I’m at the podium, I’m in the best seat in the theater. Another rewarding thing is just to be working with this art form, with the element of the sound that happens just at the moment that you are there, conducting with your orchestra. The work, the masterpiece happens just at that moment—not before and not after.

Do you have a favorite composer?

I have composers [whom] I love to listen to but not always love to conduct—and the opposite, [too].

I love to listen to Mozart, and although I’ve conducted a lot of Mozart—I love to conduct it—I feel more comfortable with other repertoire. And it’s probably because I think conducting is very physical. I think my physiology, my arms are very well suited with music of the romantic era or the beginning of the twentieth century, like Shostakovich, Rachmaninoff, Puccini, Brahms, or the German repertoire. … After every concert, I always find different ways of how to swing my arms to the specific repertoire.

Are there any particular pieces or performances you can’t wait to conduct this season?

That’s difficult to say, because I’m like a chef of a restaurant who thinks a lot about every single different thing [on a] menu. Even the smaller concerts, the smaller venues are as significant to me as the big ones.

Society of the Four Arts

David Breneman is ready for his first full season as president and CEO of the Society of the Four Arts. After taking over for Ervin Duggan in January, he wasted no time acclimating himself to his new role—and his new home.

“I’ve never been a Floridian,” Breneman says. “It’s almost like one enters as an anthropologist learning a new culture. This is really not your typical place—it’s got its own mores, its own history, its own foibles. I’ve had a lot of fun trying to get my hands around it and figure out as much as I can in a short time.”

Though he considers himself a passionate arts fan, he is first and foremost an academic. His tenure at the University of Virginia included stints as a professor of the economics of education and pubic policy, dean of the college of education, and director of the university’s public policy program. Earlier in his career, he served as president of Kalamazoo College, a liberal arts college in Michigan.

Breneman sees many parallels between the Four Arts Trio con Brio Copenhagen performs at the Society of the Four Arts on January 24.

Whether you prefer to hear arias outdoors or in the air-conditioned comfort of the Kravis Center, Palm Beach Opera’s 2016 season aims to please. On December 12, pack a picnic basket and head to the Meyer Amphitheatre in downtown West Palm Beach for the third annual Opera at the Waterfront. A crash course in opera favorites, this free outdoor concert will feature more than 100 musicians, including international guest artists as well as members of the Palm Beach Opera Young Artists program, orchestra, and chorus. The season revs up January 22-24 with arguably the most famous opera of all time, Georges Bizet’s Carmen.

Rinat Shaham and Nora Sourouzian will each play the title role on a different night, while Leonardo Capalbo and Dominick Chenes will do the same for the part of Don Jose. The hysterical Don Pasquale follows from February 19-21, with a special 90-minute abridged version for children scheduled for 1 p.m. on February 20. Finally, from March 18-20, catch Richard Strauss’ Ariadne auf Naxos. This playful performance revolves around an opera within an opera and combines slapstick comedy with a stunning score to emphasize the interplay between high and low art. (561-833-7888, pbopera.org)

and the qualities that define a high-level liberal arts college. “Ervin Duggan nailed it in a short space when he said [the society is] like a small private liberal arts college but with the community as its constituents or its students,” he says. Lectures, performing arts programs, and art galleries, he points out, “are things that surround a good college, and we have all of them with a focus on the population that lives in and around the Four Arts area.”

In preparing for the 2015-16 season, Breneman particularly focused on selecting speakers for the O’Keeffe Lecture Series. “We’re trying to make these academically and intellectually respectable talks in every dimension,” he says.

As president, Breneman will do his best to attend all Four Arts events and programs, especially the concerts— a personal passion for him and his wife, a former choral conductor. “I’m a big fan of classical music,” he says.

The Four Arts’ multifaceted lineup this year includes the Escher String Quartet (January 10), the Hollywood Concert Orchestra (February 10), and The Romeros (February 28).

Most of all, though, Breneman prides himself on being an advocate for each art form—art, music, drama, and literature— fostered at the society. “I’m not a painter and I’m not a musician and I’m not an opera singer or this and that, but I’m a great consumer,” he says. “As you’re heading an organization that tries to treat all of them, it’s an advantage not to be mired in one of them.” (561-655-7226, fourarts.org) palmbeachillustrated.com | November 2015

Hot off its PBI Award win for Best Dramatic Destination, Palm Beach Dramaworks opened its 2015-16 season last month with William Inge’s Picnic. This Pulitzer Prize play continues its run to November 8 and is followed by The History Boys (December 4 to January 3), Long Day’s Journey into Night (January 29 to February 28), Outside Mullingar (March 25 to April 24), and Satchmo at the Waldorf (May 13 to June 12).

The season ender puts Dramaworks in the spotlight of the greater theater community. A one-man play based on the life of Louis “Satchmo” Armstrong, Satchmo at the Waldorf Why did Teachout take Armstrong from the page represents many firsts for to the stage? Find out at playwright Terry Teachout, palmbeachillustrated. the well-known drama critic com/satchmo for The Wall Street Journal.

Not only is Satchmo the first play he’s ever written, but this production also marks his directorial debut.

Teachout has been coming to Palm Beach Dramaworks for about six years and fondly recalls the first show he saw there, Eugène Ionesco’s The Chairs. “I had no idea what I’d gotten myself into,” Teachout says, “and the lights [went] down and I saw one of the best productions I’d seen in years.” When William Hayes, Dramaworks’ producing artistic director, asked Teachout to direct, he accepted the challenge.

A fervent Armstrong fan, Teachout began writing Satchmo shortly after the release of his 2009 biography of the late jazz trumpeter, Pops: A Life of Louis Armstrong. The play has since been produced around the country, but Teachout is excited to flex his own directorial muscle. PBI spoke with Teachout about Satchmo and his transition from critic to director. (561-514-4042, palmbeachdramaworks.org)

&

PBI: What is the essence of Louis Armstrong as a character?

Teachout: I see Armstrong as a fundamentally happy and fulfilled man but also one who at the end of his life was trying to come to terms with certain things. One was his feeling that Joe Glazer, his manager, had betrayed him; another was the fact that his own people, the black audience, had to a great extent deserted him at the end of his life, and he was terribly troubled by this.

How much of Armstrong’s music is featured?

Well, this is not a musical. This is a dramatic play, and I don’t think people look convincing when they’re pretending to play a musical instrument onstage. I wrote the play in such a way that the actor never pretends to be playing trumpet.

He plays with the trumpet—he takes it apart, he cleans it; it’s clear that it’s an important part of his life—but the playing takes place offstage. We hear a lot of music, which is kind of woven into the play as a soundtrack, and he sings—not an enormous amount, but you expect him to. At the end of the play, we don’t frustrate your expectations.

In what ways will your experience as a theater critic affect your approach to directing?

I don’t know. It’s hard to say. Obviously, it can’t help but have some effect on it because I’ve spent the last 12 years reviewing 100 plays a year. I see a lot of theater. [As a critic,] I try to think my way into the process and decide how it works, what’s good about it, and what might have been better about it. But for me [as a director], it actually works more the other way.

Having been involved first in writing operas and then in writing this play, I’ve learned things about theater that I couldn’t have learned just by being a critic, and I know that they’ve affected my sense of how to do what I do as a critic. I’m sure it will work both ways. I’ll tell you more after we get it up on stage.

When it comes to art, 2015-16 might just be the Society of the Four Arts’ biggest season to date.

Four exhibitions look at different interactions of culture, history, and high society. “An Eye for Opulence: Charleston through the Lens of the Rivers Collection” looks at the demand for luxury goods in the South Carolina city from the colonial era through the Civil War. From November 21 to January 10, more than 100 pieces of furniture, silver, and other decorative pieces will be on display in the Esther B. O’Keeffe Gallery.

Beginning January 23, “Invitation to the Ball: Marjorie Merriweather Post’s Fancy Dress Costumes” will examine the late Palm Beach socialite’s sartorial prowess through the elaborate, custom garments she wore to charity galas. Then, from March 19 to April 17, “Power and Piety: Spanish Colonial Art” explores the production and collection of religious art in the Americas between the seventeenth and nineteenth centuries.

Among the society’s art offerings, our top pick is “Bill Cunningham: Facades.” Today, The New York Times photographer is best known for capturing street style while zooming around Manhattan on his bicycle. In the late 1960s, Cunningham began an eight-year project wherein he posed models in period costumes against some of the city’s most historic and iconic settings. Roughly 80 images from the collection, on loan from the New-York Historical Society from January 23 to March 6, juxtapose fashion and architecture to depict the rise of contemporary society in one of the world’s most bustling and prosperous cities.

Visitors never know what to expect at the Vero Beach Museum of Art. While the institution’s permanent collection focuses on pieces from the twentieth and twentyfirst centuries, its special exhibitions are broad in scope.

Where one gallery might house fanciful Lego sculptures (as with “The Art of the Brick,” on display to January 3), another tells the story of American folk art (e.g. “Folk Art from the Morris Museum of Art” to January 17).

“We really run the gamut with our exhibitions, from historical art to contemporary art,” says Jay Williams, the museum’s curator of exhibitions and collections. “We’re doing a lot to provide our audience members with a wide variety of exciting visual experiences [that also] have a connection to other areas of life.”

The museum’s exhibitions on the docket for 2016 touch upon many movements in American art, including modernist abstraction, 1970s documentary photography, and landscape painting as exemplified in the work of Martin Johnson Heade. One thing is consistent: Education is a key aspect of every show.

“We know that people are more likely to feel comfortable in the museum if we are meeting them more than halfway,” Williams says. By presenting lectures, hands-on exhibition elements, familyfocused events, and a children’s art festival, the Vero Beach Museum of Art attempts to bridge the gap between the gallery and the community.

Presented in commemoration of the sesquicentennial of the Civil War, “By Land and Sea” explores the state’s role within the conflict, emphasizing how its coastal waters bustled with naval vessels and exposing its part in smuggling agricultural goods to the Confederacy.

Through relics and first-person accounts, the exhibition illustrates how the war affected everyday Floridians.

County, helping to promote them and support them in any way I can,” Hickey says. “What I’m really focusing on this year is helping sell their art.”

In the upcoming season, the Cultural Council will host a handful of special exhibitions and solo showcases at its headquarters, the Robert M. Montgomery Jr. Building in downtown Lake Worth.

With subjects as varied as nature and motorcycles, the shows will highlight diversity across theme and medium. “I want to have the gallery goers come and experience something new and exciting every time,” Hickey says.

Where “Nature Preserved” (November 13 to January 2) will reflect earthly beauty through such mediums as photography, watercolor, and sculpture, “The Art of the Motorcycle” (March 25 to May 21) will investigate the aesthetics of customized motorcycles.

“Woman: Untitled” (January 15 to March 12) and “Call to Install” (June 3 to July 30) top our must-see list this season.

For the former, guest curators Sibel Kocabasi and Raheleh Filsoofi will join Hickey to select live performances and other works that reflect myriad variations on the female form. “All of the artists so far are women,” Hickey says. “We’re still in the process of curating it, so we might throw a couple of men in there.”

For “Call to Install,” participants will create site-specific works that play off the Robert M. Montgomery Jr. Building’s idiosyncratic architecture. “It’s such an unusual space and it’s such a magnificent space that [I thought] it would be an interesting idea to see if an artist could come up with a fabulous installation, using the height, using the depth,” Hickey says. With the gallery as their jumpingoff point, artists will develop one-of-akind pieces that honor an institution that plays such a key role in their careers.

Kravis on Broadway

Motown the Musical

Production History: Motown the Musical arrived on Broadway

in April 2013 and ran for more than 700 performances before closing in January 2015. It will return to Broadway this summer.

Synopsis: It’s the twenty-fifth anniversary of Motown Records, and its founder, Berry Gordy, is reluctant to celebrate. As he looks back on his life and career, he comes to terms with his magnificent influence on music, having launched the careers of such artists as Diana Ross, Michael Jackson, Smokey Robinson, and Stevie Wonder. Why You Should See It: No Kravis on Broadway season is complete without a jukebox musical, and this one breaks away from the rock ’n’ roll norm to deliver hits like “Ain’t No Mountain High Enough,” “ABC,” and “My Girl.”

Production History: Based on the book by Brad-

ford Ropes and the 1933 film by Busby Berkeley, 42nd Street premiered on Broadway in 1980 and went on to win the Tony Award for Best Musical. This touring production is directed by Mark Bramble and features choreography by Randy Skinner; this same duo was behind the 2001 revival, which won the Tony for Best Musical Revival.

Production History: Inspired by the best-selling 1992 novel and the blockbuster 1995 film, The Bridges of Madison County: the Musical ran on Broadway from January to May 2014. It picked up two Tony Awards along the way, including one for its original score by Jason Robert Brown, who also penned the music for The Last Five Years and Parade.

Synopsis: Francesca Johnson is a 1960s Iowan housewife who yearns for more. When her family leaves town for a long weekend, she falls into a brief romance with photographer Robert Kincaid, who is visiting to shoot the county’s famous covered bridges. Why You Should See It: While it may not star Meryl Streep, this passionate musical features a stunning score that marries folk music with April 26 to May 1 traditional Broadway balladry.

Matthew Murphy

Production History: In 1991, Matt Goldman, Phil Stanton, and Chris Wink developed a persona they deemed Blue Man, a rhythmic riff on “human.” Since debuting the character in New York, the Blue Man Group show has been seen by more than 35 million people across 15 countries. Synopsis: Combining music, comedy, and technology, Blue Man Group productions evoke a cacophony of senses. The psychedelic visuals, seamless integration of high-tech tools, and thoughtful (often hysterical) original music December 8-13 awe audiences of all ages.

Why You Should See It: Despite having six permanent productions and two tours, Blue Man Group is a singular theatrical experience. Besides, this may be your only chance to sit in a “poncho section” at Dreyfoos Hall.

Matilda the Musical Production History: The Royal

Shakespeare Company adapted Roald Dahl’s beloved children’s book into a musical that eventually ended up on London’s West End, where it won a record-breaking seven Olivier Awards, including Best New Musical. It arrived on Broadway in 2013 and is in the middle of a wildly successful run at the Shubert Theatre. Synopsis: Young Matilda Wormwood is neglected in her unloving family but comes alive in her imagination and at school under the guidance of her teacher, Miss Honey. Her intellect and special powers help her find her voice at home and at school, where she and her classmates stand up to their principal, the vile, devilish, and dictatorial Miss Trunchbull. Why You Should See It: Whether you discovered Matilda through the book or the 1996 film starring Mara Wilson and Danny DeVito, Matilda the Musical is yet another whimsical incarnation of this charming tale.

Production History: Woody Allen brought his 1994 film to Broadway in 2014 and garnered many Tony Award nominations for his efforts. Zach Braff channeled his inner March 22-27 Allen to portray playwright David Shayne.

Synopsis: Set in 1929—right before the stock-market crash—Bullets Over Broadway sees Shayne attempt to mount his musical, God of Our Fathers. To do so, he accepts financial backing from mobster Nick Valenti, but there’s a catch: Valenti’s talentless girlfriend must play the lead. Why You Should See It: Allen’s humor shines against a soundtrack of playful takes on 1920s jazz classics, including “Tain’t Nobody’s Bizz-ness if I Do” and “Let’s Misbehave.” palmbeachillustrated.com | November 2015

The Palm Beach International Film Festival is undergoing a facelift. Now entering its twenty-first year, the festival has new leadership, new goals, and a new theater.

“We want to bring film back to Florida,” says Jeff Davis, a veteran Broadway and film producer who took over as PBIFF’s president and CEO earlier this year. Davis wants to help attract moviemakers to the state and get area students more involved with the event.

PALM BEACH ILLUSTRATED

In 2015, Palm Beach County added another world-class event to its festival roster.

Founded by best-selling author Lois Cahall, the Palm Beach Book Festival will return April 1-2 with even more panels that explore a writer’s place within the dynamic world of publishing. Day one will take place at Palm Beach Dramaworks and include a woman’s panel with Jacquelyn Mitchard, author of the award-winning novel The Deep End of the Ocean. For its second year, the festival finds its way back to the Norton Museum of Art for day two, when it will delve into topics like culture and criticism, crime writing, and war and politics. Also new this year: a contest for aspiring local authors. Two winners—one in fiction and one in nonfiction—will be given tickets to all of the festivities and the opportunity to meet one-on-one with a top literary agent.

His biggest contribution to PBIFF so far has been facilitating the purchase and renovation of the former Plaza Theatre in Manalapan.

“I [thought]: Wouldn’t it be nice to take these two entities, merge them together, and give them a new shot of blood and new shot of life?” he says. “We renamed [it] the Palm Beaches Theatre because it needs to include all of Palm Beach. It belongs to the town.”

The 275-seat theater has been converted into a movie house that will be the hub of action for the 2016 festival, taking place April 6-14. It will host the first two days and the last two days of films and will also be the staging area for filmmakers and press.

PBIFF may last only nine days, but Davis wants the organization to have a year-round presence. Last month, the festival introduced a $5 movie program at the Palm Beaches Theatre. From Thursday to Saturday, visitors can attend a screening of a classic movie, accompanied with vintage Movietone News newsreels and comedy shorts. Industry classes and live performances round out the festival’s revamped offerings. (561362-0003, pbifilmfest.org)

The Colony Hotel Royal Room Cabaret The Colony Hotel’s vice president and general manager, Roger Everingham, longs for the glory days of cabaret. “I’ve always been a cabaret guy,” he says. “When I started in the hotel business years ago, all the big hotels had cabaret rooms.”

Shortly after arriving at this landmark Palm Beach hotel in 2000, Everingham realized its Royal Room had the necessary qualities to accommodate a world-class cabaret series. Its curved stage could create an air of intimacy between performer and audience. Its proximity to the kitchen could allow for dinner service before the curtain is drawn. Inspired by the cabaret at the Café Carlyle in New York and other top-notch hotel series, Everingham launched The Royal Room Cabaret.

More than a decade later, the cabaret continues to delight Palm Beach locals and visitors with crowd favorites and fabulous first-time performers. This season, The Royal Room will welcome back Nicole Henry, The Four Freshmen, and Tommy Tune—and Everingham promises many surprises are in store for spring.

“

You’ve got to go outside of your normal day-to-day skill set just so you learn what your artists are going through. It keeps you honest.” —Andrew Kato

The Female Phenom

Genie Croft’s theater career has been propelled by one force: strong women. Growing up in Hollywood, California, Croft was surrounded by the arts, but it was her grandmother who inspired her to act.

“My grandmother, who was this dynamic redhead, was absolutely in love with plays, movies, and music,” she says.

Croft studied theater at the University of Arizona and began directing at the behest of a professor. She moved to another warm climate and worked at several Florida theaters before establishing the Women’s Theatre Project in 2002. The company moved around South Florida before settling in Boca Raton in 2012, but its mission always remained the same: to present compelling theater, written by women, that depicts myriad female experiences.

“I want [theater] to be honest, and I want to give opportunities to all different types of women,” Croft says.

For more than 10 years, the Women’s Theatre Project staged works that celebrated a spectrum of female voices with a focus on racial diversity, lesbian playwrights and themes, and roles for women older than 30. Croft and her compatriots fostered art that portrayed complex women who, as she describes, “have their own voices and are not afraid to be manipulative and selfish and ambitious and powerful.”

The company closed in February, and Croft has brought that passion to her new role at Theatre at Arts Garage in Delray Beach, where she is beginning her first year as resident director. She and Producing Director Keith Garsson have split responsibilities for the 2015-16 season, with Croft heading the two main-stage productions.

Despite having evolved as a director, Croft has maintained the wonder that brought her to theater in the first place. “It feeds my imagination,” she says. “I’m always fascinated by the [effect] those two hours you get to create something has on people: how you can move them; how you can change them.”

The Showman

The magic of the theater is constructed behind the scenes. For Andrew Kato, producing artistic director at the Maltz Jupiter Theatre, the world unseen has always been his territory.

“A lot of people assume if you’re in theater you started as an actor, and I really was one of these strange kids who knew exactly what I wanted to do from a very young age,” he says. “I was never comfortable being in front of people, so I was happy to create these worlds and not be the center of attention—which continues into today.”

Kato has built drama ever since he attended a puppet production of The Canterville Ghost, which inspired him to stage shows in his home.

As a teenager living in Tequesta, he worked at the Burt Reynolds Dinner Theatre, which would later become the Maltz Jupiter Theatre.

In between waiting tables and assisting on shows, he produced his first musical, Switch!.

Its three-performance run illustrated to Kato that if he could conceive it, he could produce it.

Today, he’s in his tenth season at the Maltz Jupiter Theatre, managing the business and artistic output. His days are dominated by casting shows, working on marketing campaigns, constructing season schedules, and occasionally stepping out of the office and into the rehearsal room to direct, as he did for The Wiz in January.

“You’ve got to go outside of your normal day-to-day skill set just so you learn what your artists are going through. It keeps you honest.”

In his time away from Jupiter, Kato is a creative consultant and coordinating producer for the Tony Awards, a dream job he’s held for 12 years. “Dreams are anything I’ve ever had for myself,” he says. “I’ve just assumed they were going to happen, and they eventually do.”

Kato’s dreams extend to the Maltz Jupiter Theatre, which he’d like to see grow in both size and production diversity. “Running a theater is really a process of reinventing oneself,” he says. Though he hopes to evolve with his audience, he is confident the essence of the Maltz and his own convictions will remain the same.

The Art Geek

Marisa Pascucci is not your typical artist. In fact, she doesn’t consider herself one at all. “I am not an artist in the least bit,” she says. “[But] I’m a self-proclaimed art geek.”

As the curator of collections at the Boca Raton Museum of Art, where she has worked since 2012, Pascucci’s canvas is the museum’s second floor and her medium its 5,000-piece permanent collection. “I feel very proud that I can call 5,000 pieces of art my domain,” she says.

Originally from Ohio, Pascucci embraced the creative field during a freshman art history course at American University. “You’re sitting in a gigantic auditorium with 200 students, the lights go out, the slides go on, and most people fall asleep. I did not,” she says. “I became obsessed with art history.”

Pascucci went on to obtain a graduate degree in art history and museum studies, realizing she wanted to not only be surrounded by beautiful pieces but also to work with their creators and educate the public. She found that balance in the curatorial field.

When not tending to the permanent collection, Pascucci works on some temporary exhibitions. Together with the museum’s curator of contemporary art, Kathleen Goncharov, she conceives and curates a handful of shows each season, especially those that highlight local artists, such as this summer’s “Brenda Hope Zappitell: A Journey of Gestures” and the newly opened “Dames: Portraits by Norman Sunshine.”

Because the Boca Raton Museum of Art was founded by a group of artists, “dealing, presenting, and working with local artists—and not just local as in Boca, but as in the state of Florida—is very important to us and really speaks to our history,” she says.

Though she also adores traveling and the opera, Pascucci’s world is consumed by her passion for aesthetics. From the books on her nightstand to the audio books she listens to during her work commute, she’s never far from art. palmbeachillustrated.com | NOVEMBER 2015

“

It’s a different road for every artist, but the common denominator is hard work.” —bruce helander

The Newcomer

When guests enter ArtHouse 429, the nearly three-year-old gallery in West Palm Beach’s Northwood Village, they are met with a unique welcoming committee: Dexter, owner William Halliday’s salt-and-pepper Welsh Terrier, greets every visitor.

“He’s very popular,” Halliday says. “When I walk around the neighborhood, everyone says, ‘Hi, Dexter.’ They don’t know my name, but they know his.”

The inherently shy Halliday doesn’t mind.

He lets Dexter amuse the masses while he works on his metal sculptures in his studio, resurfacing to liaise with artists or relax in the property’s sculpture garden.

A consummate creator, Halliday is adjusting to his role as gallery owner. He has spent most of his adult life as the head of a design company, first out of Washington, D.C., and then Dubai, building sleek interiors and furniture for restaurants and nightclubs. Afterward, he turned his design experience and passion for sculpture into a full-time art career. First, though, he needed to show his work in a gallery.

“I thought it would make more sense to open my own gallery, because I’ve always had my own business,” he says.

A friend introduced Halliday to South Florida, and he initially considered setting his art roots in Miami’s Wynwood district but was swayed by Northwood Village. “It has a lot of potential that doesn’t really have an outlet to expand and flourish, but it seems inevitable in this area that it will,” he says.

Every aspect of ArtHouse 429 is a reflection of Halliday’s vision. The sparse, streamlined space is the perfect backdrop for works by local and international artists as well as Halliday’s sculptures, which transform utilitarian materials and themes into fluid creations. By combining his love of all things motorized with a knack for fabricating, he achieves an aesthetic rooted in practicality, reverent of form, and born out of a need to create.

“I’m someone who is creative, and creative people are always thinking creatively,” he says.

“You don’t have to make an effort to say, ‘Okay, today I’m going to be creative.’ It’s always there.”

The Voice

Daniel Biaggi discovered opera as a boy living in Switzerland. “I was probably about 9 or 10 years old when we went to the theater in Bern as part of a school trip to see The Magic Flute,” he says. “But I didn’t really do much about it. I just knew I enjoyed it.”

Eventually, Biaggi did something about it.

He studied singing and performed in operas in Europe before continuing his career in the United States. Though he began as a singer, he found his calling behind the scenes.

“I realized I was always the big-picture person, which is why I stopped singing,” he explains. “As much as I loved being on stage, I didn’t want to just chase high notes for the rest of my days, and I was always more interested in putting all of the pieces of the puzzle together.”

Time as a coach, an educator, and a manager prepared him to be general director of Palm Beach Opera, a position he’s held since 2009. “I was able to take all those professional experiences and bring them to the artistic [and] administrative side of the opera,” he says.

Under Biaggi’s leadership, Palm Beach Opera has found its voice, one that is committed to educating the public and producing compelling works.

In addition to staging last season’s world premiere of Enemies, A Love Story, Biaggi counts Opera at the Waterfront, the company’s free annual outdoor concert, as a career highlight.

“That was a big dream, to be able to bring something to the community for free and make an introduction so people can experience this incredible power of operatic singing and playing in a casual setting,” he says.

With a new season ahead, Biaggi reflects upon these accomplishments as well as the day-to-day joy of his job.

“It’s the idea of being able to create human connections and contact points while being surrounded by this incredibly astonishing talent of opera singers,” he says. “To produce those sounds, to work together with the orchestra, to be dramatic in the moment—that’s what fuels me every day.”

The Mosaic

Like his acclaimed collages, Bruce Helander is a visual amalgam. On any given day, he’s in his West Palm Beach studio, blasting Thelonious Monk and donning indicators of his experiences and creativity: a palm tree shirt he designed for Nicole Miller, a Yale baseball cap, a single fingernail painted green.

He thrives in this structured setting, yet his life as an artist has been anything but workaday. “If it wasn’t for the surprises and the stimulation, then I’d have probably stopped long ago,” he says.

Helander honed his creative energy at the Rhode Island School of Design. With the help of fellow RISD student Dale Chihuly, he unearthed his aesthetic in flea markets and thrift stores.

“I was drawn to old magazines and brochures that I’d never seen before because you could only find them at flea markets,” he says. “I found it was more interesting to manipulate the paper and adaptively reuse it into another context.”

Shown in premier permanent collections around the country, Helander’s collages combine vintage clippings with painterly techniques to form abstract expressionist compositions. However, he does not identify solely as an artist. After stints as the chief academic officer and vice president of student affairs at RISD, he overcame his dyslexia and began writing, most notably as the publisher of Art Express magazine and editor-in-chief of The Art Economist. Ever the student, he even took classes at Yale’s School of Journalism to further his skills.

“Writing is like painting to me. It’s trying to find inventive turns and twists and things that make it interesting,” he explains.

A twist in Helander’s life led him to Palm Beach, where he ran Helander Gallery on Worth Avenue for 15 years. Today, he lives and works in West Palm Beach, where he was awarded a key to the city in 2014 for being only the third Palm Beach County resident inducted into the Florida Artists Hall of Fame.

“It’s a different road for every artist, but the common denominator is hard work,” he says. “It’s something you’ve got to stick with, like an inventor. You have to keep inventing until the plane goes up in the air, if only for a few seconds.” «

Taste Clockwise from top: NYY Steak monograms rib eyes for special occasions; cookies-andice-cream sandwich; interior of NYY Steak; chargrilled beef tenderloin.

VIP Steak Baseball season is over, but the great American pastime is always in play at NYY Steak. South Florida’s premier meat emporium holds court inside Seminole Casino Coconut Creek, adjacent to the Legends Lounge, a major league testimonial brimming with New York Yankee memorabilia and a wall monogrammed with signatures of the team’s greatest players. Traditional USDA Prime favorites (steaks and chops are dry-aged on site for 21-28 days before being served) dominate the menu, but there also are some Southern surprises like stuffed bacon-wrapped barbecue shrimp and the signature NYY Steak Bacon—a heavenly starter in which thick cuts of cured, smoked bacon are draped over sweet cornbread. For dessert, try one of the pastry team’s Instagram-worthy treats. The colossal cookies-and-ice-cream sandwich, smothered in hot fudge and whipped cream and served with a mini Yoo-hoo float chaser, ends the meal with a sweet home run.

Taste Cream of the Craft

The patio at Sailor’s Return

This fall, beer lovers no longer have to leave Palm Beach County to enjoy small-batch brews. Florida’s craft suds contribute nearly $1 billion to the state’s economy each year, and a number of the best breweries are local.

We tapped five leaders whose brews are rising to the top. —Mark Spivak

Lunch Box: Stuart Stuart’s famous for its sportfishing, but the sleepy Treasure Coast town is rivaling the dining scene of its neighbors to the south. We round up five top lunch spots that serve everything from bison burgers to beer-battered fish and chips. The big draw: No reservations necessary. —K.S.

Blue Door

Tequesta Brewing Co. Matt Webster started as a home brewer and opened TBC with partner Fran Andrewlevich in January 2011. Webster produces a range of delights, such as Der Chancellor (a German-style kolsch), Loxahatchee Lager, and Gnarly Barley, an American pale ale.

Hungry customers can have food delivered from the Corner Café next door, where Webster got his professional brewing start. (561-745-5000, tequestabrewing.com) Saltwater Located immediately off I-95, Delray’s first microbrewery urges customers to “explore the depths of beer” and pairs its tasting room with live music and food trucks.

The Taco Shack Twisted Trunk Webster and Andrewlevich opened a second location for the best of reasons. “Demand was outstripping supply, and we needed to increase our output,” Webster says. For the spiritually minded, the Palm Beach Gardens brewery offers Detox Yoga every Sunday morning—one hour of hot Vinyasa yoga with a pint of cold beer. (561-671-2337, twistedtrunkbrewing.com) 98

sirena slam The ranks of the global wine elite swelled recently when Marcello’s La Sirena in West Palm Beach received the coveted Wine Spectator Grand Award, becoming one of only 81 restaurants in the world to hold the honor. (The Breakers in Palm Beach has received the accolade every year since the award’s inception in 1981.)

Under the direction of sommelier Aaron Smith, La Sirena’s wine list includes more than 1,000 selections. All the great estates of Tuscany and Piemonte are represented, along with gems from Bordeaux and Burgundy such as a 1996 Château Lafite-Rothschild ($2,500) and a 2000 La Tâche from Domaine de la Romanée-Conti ($2,800). The list also offers something for everyone, as evidenced by the “50 Bottles for $50 or Less” section. Last year, owners Marcello and Diane Fiorentino collaborated with the families of Marchesi de’ Cordano and Il Torchio to produce a series of inexpensive house wines blended to their specifications.

“We’re humbled and honored to receive the Grand Award,” Marcello Fiorentino says. “It’s the culmination of many years of labor and investment for us, but we also realize that our wine program is a work in progress.” (561-585-3128, lasirenaonline.com) —M.S.

Owners Marcello and Diane Fiorentino (above) and sommelier Aaron Smith have created an awardwinning wine list.

Cocktail Corner Awkward Pumpkin

Pumpkins may represent the holiday season, but a good pumpkin cocktail can be hard to find. Max’s Social House in Delray Beach is addressing this craving with the Awkward Pumpkin.

“This version is an evolution of pumpkin drinks I’ve done in the past,” says general manager Bob Higgenbotham.

Each Awkward pumpkin begins with pumpkin jam. The bar crew smokes pumpkin flesh with hickory wood, then purees it with nutmeg, allspice, cinnamon, lemon, and orange.

What’s Cooklyn A South Florida–trained chef is returning to Palm Beach, and he’s bringing the best of Brooklyn with him. Chef Anthony Theocaropoulos (pictured) graduated from the Lincoln Culinary Institute in West Palm Beach and worked at Café Boulud and The Italian Restaurant at The Breakers before heading back to his native New York. In 2014, he opened Cooklyn in Prospect Heights, Brooklyn, a 70-seat eatery that draws on ingredients native to King’s County.

Cooklyn’s new Palm Beach outpost will be located in The Esplanade at 150 Worth (in the space that formerly housed Cha-Cha’s). Theocaropoulos is anticipating a December opening and plans on working in Palm Beach full-time for the first year.

“South Florida means so much to me,” Theocaropoulos says. “I spent some of the best times of my life there, so I look forward to doing something really special.”

The menu will be similar to the Brooklyn branch—Mediterranean with an Asian accent—and the restaurant will include a specialty food market next door.

“I want to deal with local produce and artisan purveyors, but I’d also like to bring a little bit of the Brooklyn vibe to Florida,” he says. He hopes to use items such as Red Hook Wines, Brooklyn Brewery beers, and Toby’s Estate coffee to give Palm Beach some New York flavor. —M.S.

Holiday Sweets The Thanksgiving table just isn’t complete without delicious, sweet wine

By Mark SPivak

The Royal Tokaji Wine Company (above and left) has helped to revive Essencia with varieties that range in price from $300 to $800 a bottle.

106 PALM BEACH ILLUSTRATED

Few holidays cry out for sweet wine more than Thanksgiving. The turkey itself almost demands an offdry white with crisp, balancing acidity. When you get to the classic trio of pies (apple, pecan, and pumpkin), only an intensely sweet wine will do—particularly if you subscribe to the theory that a dessert wine should always be sweeter than the dish it accompanies.

Tokaji is the granddaddy of all sweet wines. It was around before Sauternes and also predates the modern form of Port. The Tokaj-Hegyalja wine region straddles northeastern Hungary and southeastern Slovakia.

The vineyards were so well regarded that they were ranked on a quality scale nearly a century before the Bordeaux Classification of 1855. Although dry and semisweet varieties exist, the area is best known for sweet wines made from grapes affected by botrytis cinerea, or “noble rot.” The sweetest among them, sometimes called Aszú Essencia, or simply Essencia, is the most famous of all.

Louis XV drank Essencia at the court of Versailles, where he called it “The Wine of Kings, and the King of Wines.” Thomas Jefferson imported it to America, paying the highest price of any wine in his collection.

It was extremely popular during the rule of Russia’s Romanov dynasty, and supposedly the finest Essencia was given to the czars on their deathbeds. (All their lives they had to skimp by drinking Cristal, but at the brink of death they were given a glass of Essencia.)

Sadly, the great sweet wines of Tokaji didn’t survive the transition to modern times any better than the Austro-Hungarian Empire did, which is not surprising.

Demand for sweet, expensive wine is the first thing to decline in periods of economic stress and one of the last to recover. After two World Wars and the Great Depression, production of Essencia was at a standstill.

At its best, the process is slow and labor-intensive. The grapes must be picked individually at their peak of

Pour ripeness, then pounded into a paste and fermented in large wooden casks; the sugar level is so high that fermentation can take as long as five years to complete.

The good news is that a number of modern producers have brought Essencia back into the spotlight. Probably the best known and most widely available of these is the Royal Tokaji Wine Company, founded in Hungary in 1990 by Hugh Johnson, the famed British wine writer and scholar. The bad news is the wine is far from cheap. A 500-ml bottle of Royal Tokaji Essencia will fetch anywhere from $600 to $800. Royal Tokaji Aszú Essencia is somewhat more reasonable at $300 to $400.

Part of the wine’s price is due to its rarity: Only five vintages have been released since 1993, in years when weather conditions were perfect for the formation of botrytis.

When consuming true Essencia, as opposed to similarly named wines produced elsewhere in the world, you’ll be rewarded with an elixir that is rich and unctuous. It is gloriously sweet and honeyed, with low alcohol and refreshing acidity, and bursting with flavors of citrus, apricots, and exotic tropical fruits. With something that good, who needs a trio of pies? «

Star Stair Sometimes a staircase is all you need to make a statement. For this Delray Beach foyer, the team at Marc-Michaels Interior Design transformed the home’s traditional bones “to create unexpected modern tension,” explains Kathryn Dunagan, who handled the interior detailing. Together with interior designer Diane MacAndrew, Dunagan achieved a clean, streamlined entry with the stairs as the focus. “We modified the original, traditional curved staircase by making it more linear and slightly skewed to the front door,” Dunagan says. The glass rail and open stringer line augment this modern aesthetic, which is balanced by rich wood and a hefty handrail. MacAndrew added a traditional note with a stylized walnut center table from Hickory White and Elephant Walk porcelain vases in blue and white.

“INTERNATIONAL” A Winning Real Estate Strategy

Luxury Real Estate International Symposium – Valencia, Spain

“Is the international market seeing your property? If not, why not?”

Rob Thomson poses the question to Florida’s homeowners seeking to sell waterfront and luxury real estate properties. For years, Thomson has capitalized on a worldwide network of leading international real estate brokers.

Sellers of his Waterfront Properties have benefited from the resulting sales. “Florida is the most desirable state in the country for international buyers. The Northern Palm Beaches and Treasure Coast are easily two of the most desirable areas within the state,” comments Thomson.

No need for hyperbole.

The latest data from the National Association of Realtors (NAR) shows Florida continues to be the top state for international buyers with 21% of all international purchases made from April 2014 to March 2015 occurring in the state.

The numbers aren’t surprising. “What’s surprising is that a majority of home sellers have yet to truly leverage the opportunity international buyers represent,” says Thomson. This is to their detriment.

More than half of international buyers’ purchases are cash transactions. promotion

Waterfront Advertorial-International_PBI.indd 2-3

During the same period, April 2014 to March 2015, international buyers purchased more than $104 billion in U.S. real estate.

This is up 13% over the previous period.

The average international buyer spends almost double that of the average of U.S. buyer. Notably, one Florida city has now surpassed Paris, Zurich and Dubai in the ultra-high net worth individuals segment.

A two-decade member, and current Board of Regents Member of Who’s Who in Luxury Real Estate (LRE), Thomson understands the group’s singular reach.

LRE is the exclusive, international network of 130,000 luxury real estate brokers, representing 85 countries and combined annual sales in excess of $190 billion.

“Reach equals sales. The more qualified

to know which brokers represent which countries and areas around the world.

Success depends on understanding the very specific tastes of those clients and those cultures.”

Thomson continues, “It then comes down to pairing the right properties with the right brokers and in turn their clients.”

Luxury Real Estate International Symposium – Venice, Italy

eyes we bring to a property, the better the chances our client will make a sale at the right price.”

Thomson’s LRE contemporaries share the sentiment. Philip Weiser, Managing Director at Carlton International of Antibes, France, comments, “I’ve been in real estate for over 30 years.” Weiser’s offices represent 12 nationalities and 14 languages. “The hype of having an international network or even a few wellplaced connections is pervasive. Going beyond the hype to something meaningful takes real work.”

Thomson’s extensive international travel is the best way he knows to do the real work of growing and sustaining his international network. LRE is a big part of his strategy.

He says there is “a fraternal feel to the group. We meet several times each year at locations across the globe.” Spain, France, Germany, Italy, Costa Rica, Seattle, and the list of LRE meeting locations goes on.

“The members are all friends,” Thomson adds. “Our relationships are genuine. That makes it so much easier to do business without the typical posturing of a deal. We know each other. We know each other’s

clients’ likes and dislikes. We have a direct connection to say, ‘look at these properties.’”

I first met Rob in Monaco.

I knew then, this is someone who is doing the real work of forging these relationships. Ours is one.

There’s no hype to what he’s accomplishing.

Philip Weiser Managing Director Carlton International of Antibes, France It’s one thing to have a list of European firms. It’s quite another to be personal friends with the organization’s principal.

Philip Weiser drove the point home.

“Having Rob and Waterfront Properties as a personal resource gives me unencumbered access to properties in a part of the world where my clients wish to purchase.”

There’s not a lot of marketing, per se.

These brokers have a ready list of clients who are already interested in U.S. properties, specifically Florida. “My job is

Thilo Börner, Chief Executive Officer of Vienna, Austria’s, Boerner Real Estate comments, “I know any client I send Rob will be received with all the grace and professionalism I would show him. The same is true of anyone Rob sends my way.

This is such a big thing. It’s hard to over value what this means to clients and the role it plays in successful transactions.”

Location is still the rule in real estate. The rule has now taken on dual meaning, applying as much to where a property is presented as to where it is located.

Nowhere is this more evident than in Florida. The properties international buyers want are found here. Rob Thomson places his clients squarely in front of these international buyers.

Thomson’s next stops with the Luxury Real Estate International Symposium: Seattle, WA, October 2015 Munich, Germany, January 2016

Local love meets brotherly love at Celis Produce, a new organic market and juicery nestled on South Dixie Highway in West Palm Beach. Owners Alex and Felipe Celis grew up around fruits and vegetables— their father was a wholesale produce distributor—and they put their spin on the family business by opening an organic produce delivery service in March 2014.

In August, Alex, Felipe, and their youngest brother, Camilo, added a brick-and-mortar store to better support area farmers and artisans. Their offerings now extend beyond locally sourced fruits and vegetables to include specialty products such as Subculture coffee, André Gourmet Hot Sauce, and RD Raw Foodie vegan cheese. Round out that grocery basket with a bouquet from Flower and Fringe and a specialty smoothie or juice—some of which pay homage to the brothers’ childhoods, like The Sandlot, made with sweet potato, apples, orange, ginger, and carrot. For these native West Palm Beachers, combining their hometown love with a passion for healthy eats results in harmonious family fusion. (561-410-5735, celis-produce.com)

Imaginary Waves

Capitalizing on the South Florida surf scene, Soul Surfer Studios in Jupiter allows fitness fans to hang ten indoors. Each of the studio’s four signature classes revolves around the RipSurfer X, a stationary surfboard that mimics the same feel and benefits experienced on an ocean wave.

Owner Vanessa Sylvester describes the Balance class as a perfect introduction that allows students to become acquainted with the board and establish control against the instability, the intensity of which can be adjusted. Sylvester and her fellow instructors introduce newcomers to the board before jumping into the 45-minute course, which merges yoga positions and core-strength training to improve flexibility and coordination. A padded mat—sorry, no indoor waves—breaks inevitable falls.

The three other classes (Build, Burn, and Blend) expand on the skills learned in Balance. Build brings resistance bands into the mix to build muscle, while Burn focuses on high intensity to burn the most calories and Blend combines elements from all of the above. Kids classes also are offered, so everyone has a chance to catch a wave. (561-401-2513, soulsurferstudios.com)

Wealth

The New Rules of Investing

As the economic environment has changed, so has the investment game. Here, three new rules of thumb to keep in mind.

By Judy Martel

Rule No

W

e’ve all heard the common rules of investing: Don’t withdraw more than 4 percent of your portfolio if you want to maintain principal; save 25 times your current salary before retiring; greater risk equals greater reward. But do these accepted words of wisdom still hold true in today’s global economic environment of low interest rates and high stock-market volatility?

Ben Carlson, author of A Wealth of Common Sense: Why Simplicity Trumps Complexity in any Investment Plan (Wiley, $40) and blogger at awealthofcommonsense.com, says the old rules provide a good baseline, and many have held true even through the worst economic times. But just because today’s market has gotten more complicated, it doesn’t mean investors can’t keep things simple and still achieve success.

“People make it harder on themselves than it needs to be,” Carlson says. “Because the markets are complex, people assume they need a complex strategy, but I found that the simpler plan—one that is low cost and tax efficient—is best,” he adds. “Keep it simple, and don’t make decisions based on emotion.”

Automation Cancels Emotion

Putting your financial goals on autopilot allows you to stay on track and not get confused by day-to-day advice coming from all directions. “I’m a big fan of automating your portfolio and savings,” Carlson says. “It takes you and your emotions out of the equation.”

The easiest and most effective way to save for retirement is to have money deducted from your paycheck and deposited into a tax-advantaged 401(k) or similar account. An added benefit is a company match and a lower income-tax bill.

Another way to continually add to your portfolio, he says, is to allow investment companies to automatically deduct a specified amount each month from your bank or checking account. Rebalancing is easy and automatic through most mutual funds, Carlson says.

“Set the parameters of your allocation— let’s say a 60-40 stock-bond allocation. Then set the date—whether it’s the first of the year, your birthday, or whatever you choose—and the mutual-fund company will automatically buy and sell within your holdings to maintain your chosen allocation.”

Mother, daughter, wife, sister…friend.

As a woman, you play many roles for the people who are most important to you and, by choice or circumstance; wealth manager may be in your repertoire. In fact, in one out of four U.S. households with a net worth of $1 million or more, a woman is calling the shots when it comes to investing and spending money.

Since your wealth touches many lives in many ways, it’s vital to get advice from a reliable source. At Morgan Stanley, you can expect to work with a Financial Advisor who invests time in understanding your specific situation and has the experience and resources needed to help you prepare for the future.

Wealth Rule No

Less is More in Investment Holdings

“A lot of people look at investments like collectibles and think they need a little of everything,” Carlson says. But a portfolio spread among 20 investments only increases the complexity and confusion, he points out.

“A good starting point for the novice is what a lot of 401(k) plans use, which is a target-date fund,” he says. “It’s very easy and diversified, with a blend of stocks and bonds.” These funds also automatically rebalance, increasing the percentage of fixed income as investors move closer to their retirement date.

Those who want a more sophisticated portfolio could beef up holdings among exchange-traded funds and mutual funds but should still limit it between three and 10 funds, Carlson says.

“The simplest strategy is the three-fund approach,” he says. All major mutual fund companies have similar products that meet the criteria; for instance, Vanguard has the Total Stock Market Index Fund and the Total Bond Market Index Fund. “You get something like 18,000 securities spread across all geographies and asset classes, and the cost of the funds is cheap,” Carlson says.

It may not be the perfect portfolio from the standpoint of professional advisers, Carlson adds, but it will protect you from the worst-case financial scenario. “While you might be able to do better, you could also do a lot worse— and that’s important to keep in mind,” he says.

Rule No

Total Return is the New Yield

Pulling income from a portfolio in today’s lowinterest environment is frustrating and perhaps one area of investing that is more complicated today than it was a few decades ago.

“During the 1980s and ’90s, when bonds were paying 5 percent to 9 percent, people were just looking at yield,” Carlson says.

Investors need to focus on total return, with income coming from a mix of equities and bonds, Carlson says. While bonds aren’t delivering much in the way of yield, they do act as a brake on the total portfolio if the country suffers another steep stock-market decline.

“In 2008, you wouldn’t want to withdraw from stocks while they were falling, so you needed some bonds,” Carlson says. When stocks are up, investors harvest dividends and capital gains for income.

Investors may find themselves swimming against a flood of financial information, but Carlson says if they stick to their strategy and refrain from making changes based on for more emotion, it will pay off in the end. investment tips, visit “My biggest rule of thumb is to focus on what you awealthof can control,” he says. “You can’t control the ecocommon nomic situation or what the Fed does, but you can sense.com have a plan for what you save and spend.” «

Vocal Vixen The Maltz Jupiter Theatre rolls out the red carpet for actress, singer, and two-time Tony Award winner Christine Ebersole on November 21. A star of stage and screen, she will treat audience members to an evening of torch songs, treasured American melodies, and music from her greatest Broadway performances. PBI talked to Ebersole about her love of singing, achievements, and advice for those looking to follow in her footsteps. (561-5752223, jupitertheatre.org) —K.S. You have done it all: movies, television, and Broadway.

What makes musical theater your first passion?

I love singing and the art form of cabaret; it’s pairing storytelling and song. It’s a fun way to weave personal stories into songs that can connect.

What do you consider your greatest professional achievement?

Winning a Tony Award for my dual roles of Big and Little Edie in Grey Gardens. I loved the characters, the scope of the story, and the other actors I was working with; it was a very special time in my career.

What advice would you give to aspiring entertainers?

You have to be committed, passionate, and love what you do; otherwise, you won’t succeed.

When you’re not touring and performing, where can we find you?

At home in my pajamas.

Helga Wagner Helmut Ko

ller

The tongue twister about the lady selling seashells by the sea shore wasn’t penned for Austrian-born jewelry designer Helga Wagner, but it is an apropos jingle for her sea-purloined baubles. In 1977, she launched her namesake shell jewelry line and sparked a royal following that included Queen Silvia of Sweden, Thailand’s Queen Sirikit, and the late Princess Diana.

Today, when not designing, the Palm Beach jeweler spends time with her artist husband, Helmut Koller; works in her garden; and flies jet helicopters.

Signature accessory My red coral and black onyx necklace with a black-andwhite shell in the center On her wish list A long-haired dachshund puppy Hidden talent Piloting a jet helicopter Signature drink Campari Orange Favorite designer Always Valentino. His designs are timeless, and I love wearing his cashmere turtlenecks in every color.

Beauty essentials L’Oreal False Lash Architect mascara and Rouge Essence Silky Touch blush Favorite travel destination The Round Hill Club in Jamaica Go-to hostess gift Austrian Mozart chocolate balls Favorite musicians Bob Marley and the Italian singer Patrizio Buanne Recent coveted purchase Tablecloths, napkins, and placemats from Provence
