Other Desert Cities at the Actors’ Playhouse & Lunch on Your Own Wednesday, January 23, 2013 Bus Departure: 11 AM On Your Own: 12 – 1:45 PM Showtime: 2 PM Enjoy lunch on your own at one of the fine restaurants near the theater. A list of suggested restaurants will be provided.

Winner of a 2012 Tony Award, Other Desert Cities is the funny and searing play that received universal acclaim in its off-Broadway debut at Lincoln Center Theater. In Other Desert Cities, Brooke Wyeth, a once promising novelist, returns home after a six-year absence to celebrate Christmas in Palm Springs with her parents, former members of the Reagan inner circle, her brother and aunt. When Brooke announces she is about to publish a memoir focusing on an explosive chapter in the family’s history, the holiday reunion is thrown into turmoil as the Wyeth’s struggle to come to terms with their past. Touted as “The Best New Play on Broadway!” by the New York Times, this scintillating drama about a family pushed to the brink balances comedy, intense drama with rich dialogue and finely crafted characters.

Price includes round-trip transportation from the Aventura Mall parking lot to Coral Gables, orchestra seat, and bus gratuity.

Wiesenthal: The Conscience of the Holocaust at the Aventura Arts & Cultural Center Saturday, March 16, 2013 Showtime: 2 PM Tom Dugan's award-winning one-man play Wiesenthal: The Conscience of the Holocaust has been hailed by audiences and critics alike as "masterful" (Backstage), "authoritative and engaging" (LA Times) and "eloquent" (LA Weekly). With warmth, wit and surprising humor, Wiesenthal recounts the remarkable story of cheating death’s aftermath at the hands of Hitler's dreaded Schutzstaffel (SS). Simon Wiesenthal dedicated his life to tracking down and bringing to justice the greatest mass murderers in human history.

Set on the day of his retirement, the famed "Nazi Hunter", Simon Wiesenthal welcomes one final group of students to his Jewish Documentation Center in Vienna, Austria where while packing his files recounts how he solved his most sensational cases. Packed with the punch of a gripping spy thriller, Dugan brings this powerful tale to life in a performance that "creates pure theatrical magic" (Stage and Cinema). Winner of the Los Angeles Drama Critics Circle Award and three L.A. Ovation Award Nominations, Wiesenthal (written by and starring Tom Dugan, directed by Jenny Sullivan) chronicles the life of the "Jewish James Bond" who became internationally famous in his relentless pursuit of such notorious villains as Adolf Eichmann, Franz Stangl, Dr. Josef Mengele and the SS officer who imprisoned Anne Frank. Don't miss the exciting South Florida premiere as Wiesenthal transports us into the heart of the Nazi atrocities and one man's relentless quest to right humanity's wrongs.

Price includes orchestra seat and self-parking at ACES Middle School. Valet parking is available for $10 per vehicle. PLEASE NOTE TRANSPORTATION WILL NOT BE PROVIDED FOR THIS EVENT. Tickets will be mailed prior to the performance.

Doris Duke’s Shangri La: Architecture, Landscape & Islamic Art & Annie Leibovitz at the Norton Museum of Art with Lunch at Serenity Garden Tea House Thursday, March 21, 2013 Bus Departure: 10:30 AM Lunch: 12 – 11:45 AM Docent Tour: 2 PM

Our docent tour begins with Doris Duke’s Shangri La exciting exhibit, the first comprehensive traveling exhibition of objects from Duke’s remarkable collections with the context of Shangri La, her extraordinary Hawaii residence, and her personal role in collecting and commissioning works. Shangri La incorporates unique architectural features such as carved marble doorways, decorated sliding panels known as jalis, gilt and coffered ceilings, and floral ceramic tiles. The interiors weave together many artifacts collected during her extensive international travels including silk textiles, jewel-toned chandeliers and rare ceramics.

Also on exhibit is Annie Leibovitz, internationally-renowned photographer, which will include 39 of her iconic photographs. The exhibition shifts the focus from Leibovitz’s elaborately-staged sittings to work that is direct, straightforward and relies on an essential element of all great portraits – a vital connection between artist and subject. While the images in this exhibition are also of celebrities, they are quieter, more subtle, and in some ways, more provocative and interesting than the images that made Leibovitz a household name. You will have time on your own to enjoy this exciting exhibit.

We return to Serenity Garden Tea House for a scrumptious lunch.

Price includes round-trip transportation from the Aventura Mall parking lot to West Palm Beach, lunch, docent tour of Annie Leibovitz exhibit, and all gratuities.
