NCI DESIGNATION EXPANDS SYLVESTER’S

CLINICAL TRIAL OFFERINGS

By Diana Delgado Residents in Palm Beach County now have greater access to the most advanced cancer care in the region. Sylvester Comprehensive Cancer Center, part of UHealth – University of Miami Health System, has been awarded National Cancer Institute (NCI) designation.

Sylvester is now the only cancer center in South Florida to receive this designation.

“NCI designation is the ‘gold standard’ for cancer centers,” Stephen D. Nimer, M.D., director of Sylvester Comprehensive Cancer Center, said. “It not only recognizes the excellent work Sylvester has been doing, it also allows our physicians and researchers to expand their research and to collaborate with colleagues at other top-tier cancer centers around the country – which benefits patients here, too, of course.”

The NCI has recognized Sylvester’s outstanding research work that starts in the labs, impacts patients, extends to the community, across Florida and beyond.

Most importantly, this designation means that patients in South Florida have greater access to cutting-edge clinical trials and the latest treatments available without having to leave the region.

Sylvester at Deerfield Beach, also known as the Pap Corps Campus, is home to the multidisciplinary Women’s Center, led by breast cancer oncologist, Charles Vogel, M.D., which offers advanced screening, diagnostic imaging, and treatment for breast and other female-specific cancers.

In addition, the Deerfield Beach facility has a state-of-the-art Radiation Oncology Center led by Laura Freedman, M.D., and it houses a full suite of leading-edge imaging services, provided by UHealth Imaging.

Sylvester at Deerfield Beach also has a team of experts that provide radiation oncology, chemotherapy infusion, access to clinical trials, laboratory and pharmacy services, cancer support, and educational and outreach events.

Sylvester Comprehensive Cancer Center is South Florida’s only NCI-designated cancer center and serves patients from seven locations: Plantation, Coral Springs, Deerfield Beach, Hollywood, Miami, Coral Gables, and Kendall. To schedule a consultation at a location near you, call 305-243-5302 or visit Sylvester.org.

What sets Sylvester apart from other cancer centers? Research.

Sylvester is often among the first cancer centers in the world to offer access to the newest investigational treatments. In South Florida, Sylvester has the only Phase 1 Clinical Trials program which is the first step in evaluating how patients respond to novel therapies. NCI designation means patients will have even greater access to the latest cancer treatments.

When it comes to preventing cancer in high-risk populations, Sylvester is leading the charge.

The state-funded Firefighter Cancer Initiative launched in 2015, in partnership with Palm Beach County Fire Rescue. The ongoing long-term study of exposures to carcinogens and ways to reduce the risks for Florida firefighters has already resulted in the implementation of innovative safety strategies. More than 4,000 decontamination kits are being used by firefighters across the state to help them clean up after responding to a call.

FROM THE EDITOR

The holidays are my favorite time of the year. How can you not love a season that’s all about family, friends, and tradition? In our multicultural family, we blend Greek and American customs to create a unique celebration that my kids love because it involves Santa Claus visiting twice—on Christmas Eve and on New Year’s Eve. Their M.O. is to dial the big man on a “Santa phone”—making sure Mom and Dad hear—and place their requests. This year, they said, they’re willing to forgo all other gifts if Santa brings a puppy. Guess I’d better bake some extra cookies.

Young West Palm Beachers Roby and Xiomi Penn have developed their own set of holiday rituals. This month’s cover subjects combine their English (his) and Scottish (hers) ancestries to celebrate in a way that’s both old-world and modern.

Their English Christmas dinner—complete with a smoked goose, flambéed plum pudding, and caviar with all the trimmings—is a coveted invitation. Friends arrived in black-tie attire and mingled by the fire as a cellist serenaded them with yuletide melodies. In the dining room, a gorgeously appointed table, set with Roby’s heirloom silver and crystal, reminded of Christmases past, when formality and elegance were the status quo and the world was a simpler place. See the Penns’ beautiful expression of tradition in “An English Christmas” on page 88.

This month we have a second cover—this one available on newsstands—to celebrate high fashion for the festive season. The gowns selected by our fashion editor, Katherine Lande, are brought to life by model Daniela Braga and the artistry of photographer Greg Lotus. We chose to set “The Muse” (page 96) against the stunning backdrop of the Kravis Center, whose months-long renovations will be unveiled this season.

As you leaf through the issue, you’ll find a wealth of holiday content, from our thoughtfully curated guide to gifts made by local artisans to six pages of sparkling jewels for those on Santa’s really nice list. As we celebrate our good fortune, let’s not forget that the giving season extends beyond our family circle to the community. Be sure to pick up a copy of our Charity Register, released last month, and ponder the many good causes that could use your help this time of year and beyond.

Happy holidays to all!

COURTESY OF THE BEN WEST PALM

By Skye Sherman

Introducing THE BEN Prepare for a party on the West Palm Beach waterfront. A centerpiece of the upcoming Flagler Banyan Square, The Ben West Palm—opening early 2020—will double as the first Autograph Collection hotel in Palm Beach County and the only waterfront hotel downtown.

Along with the arrival of fresh accommodations for visitors, locals can expect two new culinary hot spots: Proper Grit, a chef-driven, indoor-outdoor restaurant on the ground floor, and Spruzzo, a lounge and bar adjacent to the cabana-lined rooftop pool. Patrons will be able to board a dedicated express elevator from street level and enjoy sweeping Intracoastal views.

The Ben’s origin stories, loosely inspired by Byrd Spilman Dewey’s Ben Trovato estate on Lake Worth Lagoon, purposefully blur the lines between fact and fiction, a complex web of fables meant to entertain visitors in accordance with the hotel’s founding aphorism, “Se non è vero, è molto ben trovato,” which roughly translates to, “Even if it is not true, it is well conceived.” (thebenwestpalm.com)

Common areas at The Ben include a rooftop bar (above) and a wellappointed lobby.

Palm Beach YESTERDAY

MINDFULNESS

LET IT GO Breathe through holiday stress with guidance from local meditation guru Wendy Soderman, founder of Breathe Modern Meditation. A recovering Type A and overachiever, Soderman took a leap of faith when she decided to pursue meditation.

“I saw an article about a fitness retreat in Tulum, Mexico,” she says. “I was curious and longing to step away from agendas and schedules, so I went on a whim for my fiftieth birthday.”

With no distractions, Soderman got a taste of inner stillness and came home hungry for more. Thus began a journey of studying meditation around the world, from Sedona, Arizona, to a school in Rishikesh, India. Today, outside of her “day job” as founder and principal of The IDEAL School in Wellington, Soderman offers private coaching and holds daily classes at her downtown West Palm Beach studio. Here, she shares insight into and tips for staying calm during the holiday season. (breathe modernmeditation.com) 52

Palm Beach’s timeless appeal comes into focus in a new series from fine art photographer Gray Malin. Shot at The Breakers and select private estates, Gray Malin in Palm Beach pays tribute to retro luxury and the glamorous Gilded Age origins of the island’s oldest resort. To transport viewers to a glittering world of cocktail parties and poolside soirees, Malin incorporated vintage automobiles and sporting equipment as well as select pieces from the Lilly Pulitzer archive. Numbered signed prints are sold as exclusive editions online, and prints are available at The Breakers News & Gourmet gift shop. (graymalin.com)

The Breakers Palm Beach

Gift yourself joy. “Meditation can change the quality of your life. It’s a technique that you practice daily to train the mind to be in the moment, without judging thoughts or emotions as they surface. You are not your thoughts; therefore, you can learn to observe and let them go. Ten minutes of meditation a day for eight weeks will cause neurological changes in the brain [that] allow you to be less reactive and more productive.”

Find peace in the present. “Instead of getting lost in your mind’s expectations, creating anxiety and often disappointment, choose to breathe, be in each moment, and accept it as it is. Embrace it as the holiday that is happening now; there is no good or bad. Plan what you can in a joyful way, and let the rest unwrap as it will.”

Try it for yourself. For beginners and in moments of crisis, Soderman recommends the “STOP” technique: • Stop: When you detect stress or imbalance, simply pause.

• Take a breath: Notice the sensations of breathing. Your mind will settle as your body shifts away from fight or flight mode and back to the parasympathetic nervous system.

• Observe: Rise above it all to look at the situation from a mental distance. Recognize how you feel, without judgment.

• Proceed: Having shifted to a more mindful mode, go forward with compassion and take action that is skillful and appropriate to your situation.

HANNAH THOMSON

Growing up on a family farm in Tuckerman, Arkansas, where the nearest neighbors—his grandparents—lived miles away, Bronson van Wyck learned the art of entertaining as a way to endure the ennui of life “in the middle of nowhere.”

That early coping mechanism now sends the Yale grad all over the world—often between New York and Palm Beach—to design and produce high-end events.

His recent book, Born to Party, Forced to Work: Twenty-First Century Hospitality, highlights his greatest hits and demonstrates how his personal narrative led to his current profession. When he’s not planning private parties through Van Wyck & Van Wyck or experiential corporate events via his sister company, Workshop, van Wyck busies himself by supporting Alice Waters’ Edible Schoolyard and serving on the board of The East Harlem School. His niece, nephew, dog named Cat, and “an army of godchildren” keep him young. —Skye Sherman

harles Spencer, third Duke of Marlborough, must have looked out his bedroom’s bay window at the park-like grounds of Langley Park House and been overcome by the thrill of the hunt.

But Langley offered more than access to 50 acres of woods rich in game and fowl. The eighteenth-century Palladian estate in Buckinghamshire, an hour’s drive from London, also had bespoke creature comforts worthy of a landed aristocrat: mosaic floors, august staircases, and marble fireplaces—20 of them.

The centuries do take their toll. When City and Country Hotels Ltd. acquired the Grade II–listed house, it displayed little of its former glory. Dennis Irvine Studio stepped in with a massive renovation, during which the original mosaic floor was uncovered, the Bath-stone exterior was restored, and Doric columns and ceilings were

From that six-year-long effort emerged The Langley, A Luxury Collection Hotel. To augment the historic restoration, the Irvine team installed a few modern touches—most notably a double staircase that allows for a grand arrival to the bronze Venetian front doors, and a 17,000-square-foot subterranean spa that’s a destination in itself.

The Langley’s sister hotel, The Wellesley, in London’s Knightsbridge, is another triumph of oldmeets-new design.

The Wellesley’s origin story is a bit humbler than The Langley’s. It started life as the Hyde Park Corner tube station, designed by Leslie Green, the British architect behind Cigar Lounge the underground’s classic oxbloodred facades and demilune windows.

Despite its conversion into a luxury boutique 1920s-inspired materials, including brass hotel, The Wellesley has retained those emaccents and fluted and etched glass.

If you can take the heat, also try the Himalayan salt sauna or saltinfused steam room. You can always cool down in the torrential showers or the ice fountain.

After a bit of physical activity, you should feel virtuous enough to indulge in afternoon tea in the Drawing Room.

ON ISLAND Time Allegra Fanjul Garcia-Velez, a jewelry designer and lifestyle blogger at Very Allegra, knows the Dominican Republic’s Casa de Campo like the back of her hand. She was only 6 weeks old during her first trip and continues to return regularly alongside her husband, family, and friends. On the agenda of a perfect Casa de Campo day? Waking to a breakfast of local fruits followed by reading on the beach and an afternoon activity before ending with a sunset dinner. A spirited game of donkey polo—involving, yes, playing polo on donkeyback with broomsticks and a soccer ball—is always an option, one that lends itself to barrels of laughter from participants and spectators alike. “It’s a quick flight from South Florida, but a total change of pace,” says Garcia-Velez.

“You can’t help but feel relaxed and in a good mood while you’re there.” —Skye Sherman

HIGH ROAD

A Lexus for THE WAVES

This new flagship is just that—a multimilliondollar YACHT—and we’re taking it for a spin

By Howard Walker When you hear the words, “Honey, I’m thinking of getting a new Lexus,” you could be forgiven for presuming your better half is contemplating the purchase of a shiny Lexus LS 500 sedan or a gorgeous LC sports coupe. Certainly not a 65-foot Lexus LY 650 sports yacht. The price for such an extravagance? That would be $3.7 million, or $4.7 very nicely loaded.

Wait a second—a Lexus yacht? You heard right. Lexus is on a mission to evolve from an automaker into a luxury lifestyle brand. They reckon building a range of ultra-high-end yachts is one way of achieving that and have partnered with Wisconsin-based Marquis Yachts to birth a spectacular flagship. This isn’t simply an existing Marquis boat with a

couple of Lexus badges glued to its superstructure. It’s a true joint venture, designed from the keel up with serious input from the Lexus design and production teams in Japan.

To demonstrate the connection between car and yacht, Lexus invited Palm Beach Illustrated for an exclusive first drive of the new LY 650 prior to its world debut at the recent Fort Lauderdale International Boat Show.

Tied up outside the historic Boca Raton Resort & Club, this beauty wows with its vast windshield, voluptuous hind quarters, and rich copper and steely gray color palette.

Climb aboard and the spectacular interior oozes Lexus-style craftsmanship, quality, and elegance. Step down into the sunshine-filled

central atrium and doors lead to three spacious cabins. The full-beam owner’s stateroom is breathtaking, with its large hull windows, sexy lighting, and curvy cabinetry. The mirrorfinished eucalyptus woodwork could have come straight out of a Lexus LS flagship sedan.

Our plan is to head from Boca into the Atlantic and cruise down to Fort Lauderdale. But the day’s forecast is enough to send The Weather Channel’s Jim Cantore into a frenzy, with winds steady at 22 mph and gusting to a feisty 28.

“I’m game if you are,” says Randy Peterson, Marquis Yachts’ chief propulsion engineer and our captain for the day. At the press of a button, he fires up the twin 12.8-liter Volvo turbocharged inline-six diesels. Each delivers 1,350 hp to Volvo IPS drives with their twin, forward-facing props. On flat water they’ll thrust the LY 650 to a top speed of 33.5 knots—that’s 38.5 mph. From standstill, they can power this 73,000-pound speedster up onto the plane in just 12.5 seconds.

As we ease out of the Boca Raton Inlet, helming from the protected flybridge, we brace for the gnarly Atlantic rollers lunging toward us.

The first one, a breaking six-footer, hits us bang on the quarter, sending spray cascading over the fancy sun loungers on the bow.

Time to power up. We push forward the throttles and the LY’s flared bow lifts gently and scythes through the heavy swell. Despite the big Volvos spinning at 2,450 rpm on wide-open throttle, there’s only the faintest hum from the heavily insulated engine room. In the big seas, the carbon-reinforced hull does a stellar job of parting the waves, tracking straight, and riding smooth through the washing machine–like water.

deep-water ship channel. Despite the confused sea, the big Lexus carves easily into the turn, shrugging off the whitecaps, feeling stable and confident.

“Quite a ride,” Peterson remarks as we tie up at the Pier Sixty-Six Marina. “I was really happy with the way it took the waves. That was pretty rough out there.”

Marquis is building its fourth LY 650, with three already sold, including our well-equipped $4.7million launch version. Next year there’ll be a nonflybridge coupe LY 650, with plans already in place for a 48-footer. It won’t be long before you too could be uttering the words, “I just bought a new Lexus and it handles great in the waves.” «

CHRISTMAS Roby and Xiomi Penn blend their diverse backgrounds and shared passions to host a festive feast

BY LINDA MARX PHOTOGRAPHY BY JERRY RABINOWITZ

W

hen it comes to holiday celebrations, John Roby Penn IV likes to showcase his personal and familial history through treasured heirlooms, black-tie attire, and old-world cuisine. Originally from Fort Worth, Texas, Roby recalls a childhood of formal dinners held amid generations-old antiques and artifacts. He and his wife, Xiomi, who grew up with more casual gatherings, recently merged their Christmas memories to orchestrate a dinner party that encapsulated both of their personalities.

“The world is more casual and rough these days, but that does not mean our house has to be,” says Roby, 39. “My mother always liked having open houses at Christmas for people who had nowhere else to go. I do the same and love bringing out our heritage via home furnishings and traditional pieces to share with others.”

Place settings included English Spode china, Kirk sterling silver flatware, and Waterford crystal goblets. Below: Michael Ridgdill, Roby and Xiomi Penn, Tom D’Agostino, and David McClymont chat before dinner.

“Christmas is about celebrating our blessings and gathering people around us,” adds Xiomi, 43. “As we grow older, we like to show our appreciation for friends and family by entertaining them here in our home, where we can talk and enjoy each other’s company.”

Tradition—and oil—are in Roby’s blood. His grandfather, John Roby Penn Jr., served as president of Standard Oil of New Jersey and then, in 1919, became president of Texas Pacific Coal and Oil, which was sold to Seagram & Sons in 1964. Roby’s father, the late John Roby Penn III, oversaw that purchase as managing director and then enjoyed a life of ranching in Texas and sport fishing in South Florida and the Bahamas.

Roby, who has a BA in history and political science from Texas Christian University, relocated to Washington, D.C., to act as co-chairman of George W. Bush’s 2005 inauguration and pursue other political opportunities. He now works as national relationship manager for Smart Source, a marketing and printing company.

University, is a curatorial collections specialist for a private art collection. They married in Palm Beach in 2018 and now reside in a circa-1925 home in West Palm Beach’s Flamingo Park neighborhood.

For this yuletide party, Roby and Xiomi displayed their manners and social genius by producing a friendly yet formal evening that spoke to their past, present, and future. The couple decided to play up their ancestry—Xiomi is Scottish and Roby is English—with a traditional Christmas dinner, complete with a goose and all the trimmings. Their well-appointed living room resembled a refined Scottish country lodge, and they incorporated an array of family finery into the meal’s presentation. As the finishing touch, they requested that attendees come dressed to suit the classic theme.

“We asked our guests to dress in black tie and cocktail attire because I learned this formality practice from my late father, a man I never saw in a T-shirt,” explains Roby. “My mom said I came out of the womb wearing a blazer and tie. Our family tradition is continuous, and I am so used to formal living that it is part of my life. I love the design and look of our heirlooms and enjoy displaying them for Christmas parties.”

Visitors entered through an original double-oak front door adorned with burlap ribbons and were greeted with the aroma of holiday delights. A crackling fire illuminated the festive scene featuring monogrammed stockings, scattered nutcracker statues, and a tree decked out in cherished ornaments, pearls, and tartan ribbons. As they settled in, guests admired the pecky cypress ceiling, stained glass windows, and silk curtains, as well as a 1940s chandelier that once hung in the foyer of The Breakers.

“Their Christmas decor is spectacular because it is understated and subtly ties into the interior of the house,” says Kate Waterhouse, vice president of the Southeast for Leslie Hindman Auctioneers in West Palm Beach. “There is not a bit of clutter.”

Roby and Xiomi divided their holiday hosting duties by the other’s strengths. Roby likes decorating (he had two significant Christmas trees in his Texas home), setting the table with his family heirlooms, and entertaining with his vivacious personality. Xiomi is more regimented and detail-oriented—traits acquired from years conducting research at the Museum of Fine Arts in Boston and the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York.

A native of Washington, D.C., she fondly remembers admiring different states’ Christmas trees on the National Mall alongside her late father, who was a senior art historian at the Smithsonian American Art Museum. This memory inspires her passion for curating her husband’s holiday furnishings and tabletop

selections, as well as arranging the poinsettias, white roses, and hydrangeas. She also has a knack for making their guests feel comfortable with her infectious laugh and calm reserve.

“She is the yin to his yang,” Waterhouse says of the couple.

Violinist Marina Lenau of the Palm Beach Symphony performed holiday music from a perch set up near Roby’s collection of antique books, a composition of Christmas candy jars, a silver Champagne bucket, and the couple’s two parakeets, who enjoyed the evening from inside a tartan ribbon–topped cage. The Penns’ dog, a Havanese named Papacito, was also in attendance.

As they sipped the signature poinsettia Champagne cocktail and sampled appetizers of blinis with Black Sea caviar, guests engaged in spirited conversation about the holidays, upcoming parties, travel, and work, all the while offering compliments to the couple.

“Roby and Xiomi are the most gracious hosts I know,” says Elizabeth “Bitsy” Marshman, special events manager at The Colony in Palm Beach.

“They’re old souls with traditions, yet people who know how to have fun. Plus, they want us to feel like we are in our own homes.”

Xiomi joined in to praise her husband’s entertaining skills and family traditions. “I am constantly learning from him,” she says. “Roby knows history and geography, and I like art and culture. We love to merge these things into our home. And for parties, we do like formality yet enjoy doing most everything ourselves.”

Roby and Xiomi also share a passion for philanthropy. They met some of their guests through regular participation in charities and frequently serve on committees and as chairs for numerous events. They support the EW Foundation’s child literacy programs, Achilles International’s sports rehab initiatives for people with disabilities, the Palm Beach Symphony, and American Friends of British Art, for which Xiomi is a board member.

“Xiomi’s energy and knowledge of art are tremendous,” says Michael Ridgdill, founder and president of American Friends of British Art. “And both of them are such relaxed hosts who make guests like me feel relaxed, while their Christmas decor illustrates how tradition can be sexy.”

Passing the tree’s twinkling tapers, the couple led the way to the magnificently set dinner table, made in the 1960s of Italian wood with a hand-carved base. Always the Texas gentleman, Roby escorted the female guests to their respective chairs upholstered in brown twill. Atop their English Spode china Roby inherited from his grandmother awaited a printed dinner menu emblazoned with the Penn family crest, which prominently features an elephant as a reference to a long-gone ancestor who was the Royal Governor of the British East India Company. Surrounding the English silver centerpiece was a set of 1902 J.E. Caldwell & Co. silver dessert plates, a Penn family gift from Mildred Hedrick Fender, the daughter of architect Wyatt C. Hedrick and granddaughter of Ross Shaw Sterling, the thirty-first governor of Texas and cofounder of Humble Oil (now ExxonMobil). There was also an assortment of small Lalique angels, white roses, and elephant collectibles.

“For the personal touch, Xiomi cooked because she remembers the wonderful Christmas dinners with her family and friends when both of her parents prepared the meal,” Roby says of the food.

To begin, Xiomi prepared a salmon mousse terrine—with help from

Roby’s mother. “We made it together,” says Xiomi, with a laugh. “I learned from her.”

Then, she served her favorite potato and leek soup, followed by a smoked Dakota goose with portcranberry sauce and English roasted vegetables. Roby carved the bird with a set of engraved-silver and ivoryhandled knives circa 1870 from James Deakin & Sons of Sheffield, England, another family heirloom from Mildred Hedrick Fender. The meal was paired with Domaine L. Chatelain Petite Chablis 2017 and Domaine Grand Veneur Côtes du Rhône 2016, and ended with a Christmas pudding flambéed with rum. “They do everything the right way,” says Homer Marshman III, a financial analyst with Comcast. “They honored every classic Christmas tradition with a Texas twist.”

After dinner, capped with McLaren Vale Serafino tawny port, the room overflowed with hospitality and good cheer. As happy guests were preparing to depart, Roby handed out gifts of silver picture frames from San Miguel de Allende, Mexico, and fine Churchill cigars.

“Having a Christmas party here is a genuine moment for us,” says Xiomi. “With our friends who bring different traditions to our home, we can come together and see the joy and good that the holiday season brings out in all of us.” «

The table also included circa-1902 silver dessert chargers and Lalique angels.

The meal featured a traditional English goose with all the trimmings and ended with pudding flambéed with rum.

BEHIND THE SCENES KATE KATZMAN OPENS UP ABOUT HER LIFE ON AND OFF THE BIG SCREEN, AND INVITES US TO EXPLORE A NEW COSTUME EXHIBIT AT THE WICK

BY JUDY MARTEL PHOTOGRAPHY BY NICK MELE

In the 2015 indie biopic Walt Before Mickey, real-life bubbly blonde Kate Katzman transforms herself into an unassuming brunette named Lillian Disney.

Katzman portrays the young wife of the fabled theme park and animation genius at the dawn of his career, requiring her to be quietly supportive of her on-screen husband. During intense conversations— on the front porch of their home, in the car, and at business meetings—the actress’ eyes reflect the heart of the scene, conveying hope, optimism, and strength.

That ability to capture the subtle traits of a character, along with her stunning looks, are what caught the attention of legendary actor Burt Reynolds, who encouraged Katzman to audition for his master acting class at the Burt Reynolds Institute for Film and Theatre in North Palm Beach. “He had a great love of teaching and he helped me

“

[ACTING IS] MY ART AND MY PASSION ... ACTING IS WHAT I DO FOR ME.”

see the tiny things in a script where you could make an impact,” she says.

Growing up, Katzman didn’t dream of becoming an actress. The only child of a nurse and a mounted police officer spent her early years in rural Bucks County, Pennsylvania, until the family moved to Palm City, Florida, when she was 7.

“Throughout my life, I’ve always had people trying to get me into acting, but I was really shy when I was younger and never in a million years thought that I would become an actress,” she says. In fact, the animal lover wanted to be a veterinarian.

But in the few years since she discovered what has become her passion, Katzman’s racked up an impressive list of credits. Following the debut of her first film, Walt Before Mickey, she’s worked on four more that will soon hit theaters, including a role as a movie director in The Comeback Trail, scheduled for release in early 2020 and starring Robert De Niro, Morgan Freeman, and Tommy Lee Jones. The others include the neo-noir drama Adverse, the half-animated remake of the classic Snow White, and Santa in Training, which Katzman describes as “a cute family comedy.”

When she’s not acting, Katzman’s life revolves around her own family. She married Scott Katzman, a surgeon who specializes in minimally invasive spine surgery, 10 years ago and likes to spend as much time as she can with her 3-year-old daughter, Keira, and 7-year-old son, Dylan. Their home in Frenchman’s Reserve in Palm Beach Gardens is just one neighborhood away from her mother, whom she calls her “major grounding force.” The two are extremely close, sharing a bond that was solidified when her father died shortly after they moved to Palm City. “It was difficult for my mom and me in Florida, with the rest of the family in Pennsylvania,” explains Katzman. “It took a while to get acclimated, but now I love Florida.”

While the state’s laid-back lifestyle is appealing, Katzman’s personal style is that of a self-described girly girl. “I’m not really a sneakers-and-jeans person,” she says. Whether embodying the persona of Lillian Disney during the 1920s or Megan Albert (her Comeback Trail character) in the 1970s, period costumes appeal to her sense of drama and love of clothes. The 1961 movie Breakfast at

Tiffany’s is her favorite, she adds, because “Audrey Hepburn was just exquisite.” Playing the part of a suffragette or a flapper for a new 1920s-era exhibit at The Wick Theatre & Costume Museum in Boca Raton was a natural fit for Katzman, who’s come a long way from the bashful girl who never considered acting. “It’s my art and my passion and something that emotionally fills me,” she says.

“Acting is what I do for me.”

The black gown (above) was inspired by an Erté artist rendering and made for “The Roaring Twenties” exhibition. Opposite page: Katzman wears a replica of a dress made for Gloria Swanson in the 1920s.

The 1920s Come Alive at The Wick To mark the dawn of the 2020s, The Wick Theatre & Costume Museum has mounted an exhibit that harkens back 100 years, to the decade encompassing Prohibition, suffragettes, flappers, and jazz music. “The economy was booming in the 1920s,” says Kimberly Wick, museum curator and associate producer. “People were more frivolous, and it was an interesting time of freedom of expression.” The fashion of that era, she adds, reflected the mood with looser clothing and the elimination of restrictive corsets.

“The Roaring Twenties” is on display through May and features approximately 140 costumes, some of which come from the collection of Marilynn Wick, executive director of The Wick Theatre and founder and CEO of

110_WICK_1219-2.indd 113

Costume World, the largest holder of Broadway costumes from more than 85 original shows. Highlights of the exhibit include Angela Lansbury’s outfits from Mame, bathing suits from No, No, Nanette, and vintage pieces that pay homage to major events and notable trends, such as Prohibition, the Nineteenth Amendment, and ragtime music.

Tours are by appointment and include a 1920s-inspired luncheon at The Tavern restaurant and a backstage tour of the 333-seat theater. Outside the museum, The Wick will host its New Year’s Eve Great Gatsby Party, starring an 11-piece jazz band that, as Kimberly Wick notes, “does a bangup job with that era.” (thewick.org) « PALMBEACHILLUSTRATED.COM | DECEMBER 2019

TASTE IN SEASON

Truffle MANIA The head-turning, musky scent of truffles fills restaurants this time of year.

Chances are, if you’re dining at local eateries that like to get liberal with these treasures, such as Renato’s or La Masseria, those truffles are coming from David Iannetta, aka the Truffle Guy. The Italian native grew up in the industry and imports the flavorful fungi from his hometown of Bojano, located in the mountains of Molise, one of the country’s top producing regions. In honor of truffle season, Iannetta shares need-to-know facts about these mysterious morsels. —Liz Petoniak The subterranean fungi grow at the roots of a variety of trees—including oak, pine, and hazelnut—in a symbiotic relationship. Soft, well-irrigated soil encourages their growth.

The weather determines truffle availability. A robust bounty requires a rainy summer, and a drought could send prices soaring, which was the case two years ago when white truffles went for nearly $3,000 a pound.

It takes months to train dogs to hunt for truffles, making them a target for competitors who may try to steal or poison them. Today, the curly haired Lagotto Romagnolo dogs are bred specifically to sniff out truffles.

White truffles, in peak season from November through the first week of January, boast the most pungent flavor and are the priciest. Black winter truffles, peaking in January through March, are second in both price and flavor.

WHAT WILL CHAUHAN COOK AT THE SPICE LUNCH? SHE SHARES HER IDEAS AT PALMBEACH ILLUSTRATED.COM/MANEETCHAUHAN

LINDSEY GRACE

Chef Maneet Chauhan is the founding partner and president of Nashville’s Morph Hospitality Group, a collection of four restaurants with diverse culinary themes. She has been featured extensively on the Food Network and is the recipient of the 2012 Media Broadcast Award from the James Beard Foundation. Perhaps best known as a judge on Chopped, Chauhan will emerge from behind the judges’ table to make her first appearance at this year’s Palm Beach Food & Wine Festival, taking place December 12-15. She’ll join forces with chefs Pushkar Marathe and Julien Gremaud for the Spice lunch at Avocado Grill in West Palm Beach December 13 and will also lead a Kids Kitchen cooking class at the Four Seasons Resort Palm Beach December 14.

Here, Chauhan chats with PBI about her adoration for Palm Beach, Nashville, and Indian food. (pbfoodwinefest.com) —Mark Spivak Absolutely. The South is the home of soul food, and I think Indian food has a soulful existence of its own. Similar foods are used in Indian and Southern cuisines, like black-eyed peas and okra.

What’s the most common misconception Americans have about Indian food?

The first is that Indian food is an $8.95 all-youcan-eat buffet. It’s so much more than that!

Another is that Indian food is very difficult to make. I think a lot of people have a fear of making Indian cuisine, and they just don’t try to make it.

You’re co-owner of Mantra Artisan Ales. Is there a special affinity between craft beer and the dishes you create?

When Vivek (my husband and partner) and I were opening Chauhan Ale & Masala House, we were working on the beverage menu and came up with the idea of spiced beers, as they’re a natural flavor affiliate to Indian food and ethnic food. A lot of the beers, like the chai stout, were created exclusively to go with our food.

Nashville is your adopted home. Do you see any similarities between Southern cooking and Indian cuisine?

If you could cook for one historical figure or celebrity, alive or dead, who would it be?

I really want to cook for Stephen Colbert.

COCKTAIL CULTURE

If you’re craving a partridge in a pear tree, there’s no need to wait for the 12 days of Christmas—just pop into Jupiter’s 1000 North any night of the week to sample its Partridge in a Pear Tree libation. “This holiday-inspired cocktail is a variation on a Paloma,” says lead bartender David Lovett. “I wanted to amplify the experience and make it special, and the best way to do that is to add an element of theater.”

The unusual, bird-shaped stemware references a cocktail glass from The Aviary, a famed Chicago bar, but Lovett wanted something more

elegant. “I looked at many bird-shaped glasses and found this one. It holds 7 ounces, but it looks smaller and more fragile than it really is.”

Lovett combines Volcan De Mi Tierra tequila and La Guita Manzanilla sherry with pear puree, fresh juices, cardamom simple syrup, and a trio of bitters before straining everything into the distinctive glassware. This dramatic cocktail is the perfect complement to the restaurant’s sweeping water views and sports-celebrity clientele.

“It’s more than just liquid in a glass,” Lovett says.

“It’s an experience.” (1000north.com) —M.S.

and emerging establishments. “For the Master Chef series, we look for truly great restaurants that support local farms in the places they come from,” says Swank. “That way we can educate people on the local food scene around the country.”

The Sunday brunches are the only gatherings that allow children, who can partake in activities while their parents relax. Rounding out the culinary offerings is the new Swank Farmhouse, a teaching facility slated to open this season. The building will include a 32-seat, stateof-the-art kitchen that will enable local chefs to host cooking classes and pop-up events. (swankspecialtyproduce.com) —M.S. PAPPHOTO

Located in Loxahatchee, Swank Specialty Produce has amassed a devoted following with its annual series of dinners, brunches, and special events. It all started with the Swank Table dinners. There are eight to choose from this season, each taking place on Sundays from December 15 to May 3 and highlighting themes such as “Throwback to the ’70s” and “Chefs for Sustainable Seafood.” The meals bring together four or five local chefs who each prepare a course, assisted by a sommelier or mixologist, with proceeds benefiting an assortment of area charities.

“These dinners allow us to give back to the community,” says coowner Jodi Swank. “They also give us the opportunity to bring chefs out in nature and under the stars. They work in an open kitchen and can interact with guests who wander up and ask questions.”

The Master Chef series continues on Saturday nights from January 11 to April 25. Each evening will focus on chefs from different cities (such as New Orleans, Nashville, and Detroit), with an emphasis on lesser-known

TASTE OFF THE VINE

POPPING Bottles

Fill a glass with a SPARKLING WINE that gives Champagne a run for its money

By Mark Spivak Drinking expensive Champagne can be exhilarating— so much so that it’s easy to conclude no other fizzy wine comes close. The truth is that some of the California sparklers and even a few wines from Prosecco can provide a satisfying experience. If you’re searching for a celebratory holiday bottle, consider these alternatives.

Le Rêve, Domaine Carneros by Taittinger: When the Taittinger family established their California outpost in 1987, they had the wealth to purchase the best vineyards.

They also had Eileen Crane. Thirty-two years later, Crane is still there as winemaker, turning out some of the best sparkling wine on either side of the Atlantic. The 2012 Le Rêve ($115) is a blanc de blancs made from Chardonnay grown on estate vineyards in the Carneros AVA. In terms of taste, it is simply luscious. The 2012 rosé ($135), only available at the winery, is even better. For something more accessible, try the regular Domaine Carneros brut ($31).

J. Schram, Schramsberg: Jack and Jamie Davies founded Schramsberg in Napa in 1965, at a time when even making still wine was a risky business. It’s not an exaggeration to say that the couple introduced the idea of high-quality domestic sparkling wine to America. The 2010 J. Schram ($120), their top-of-the-line bottling, is a blend of 84 percent Chardonnay and 16 percent Pinot Noir, aged for seven years on the yeast; there’s also a rosé version (2011, $160). A good introduction to the Schramsberg style is the 2016 blanc de blancs ($41).

L’Ermitage, Roederer Estate: Champagne Louis Roederer came late to the California sparkling wine party. JeanClaude Rouzaud selected the Anderson Valley vineyard site in 1982, and his son now oversees the operation. The estate’s regular cuvée debuted in 1988, followed by the 1989 L’Ermitage in 1993. The blends for L’Ermitage are bolstered by the addition of oak-aged reserve wines. Current vintages include the 2012 brut ($50) and 2011 brut rosé ($65).

Ultramarine: We’ve all heard of cult Cabernets, but Ultramarine is California’s first true cult sparkling wine. It’s vintage-dated from a single vineyard (the famed Charles Heintz site in Occidental), bottled, riddled, and disgorged by hand—and nearly impossible to find. Winemaker Michael Cruse produces three types: blanc de blancs ($214), 130 PALM BEACH ILLUSTRATED

Clockwise from top: Le Rêve; J. Schram; Altaneve Prosecco.

SCHRAMSBERG VINEYARDS

blanc de noirs ($197), and rosé ($266). Bear in mind that these are after-market prices as the winery sells out each year. Ask to get on the mailing list and cross your fingers.

Altaneve: When David Noto dedicated himself to making the planet’s finest Prosecco in 2013, he had a tough road ahead of him. The wine was firmly entrenched in the $10-$15 category, and the best examples weren’t available outside Italy. Noto, who is descended from 10 generations of winemakers, was undeterred.

His wines are all-natural, sustainable, and hand-harvested from some of the best vineyards in the Valdobbiadene hills.

How good are they? In a word, stunning. Altaneve Z ($46), his tête de cuvée, is produced from a micro-plot that yields only 1,500 bottles annually. It has a light-straw color and a nose redolent of limestone and minerals. Dry yet luscious in the mouth, with notes of citrus and stone fruits buoyed by good acidity, it makes an elegant and memorable statement on the palate. The finish is long and mouthwatering. The Altaneve spumante rosé ($31) is nothing short of delightful, and the Prosecco Superiore DOCG ($32) is rich and opulent, with a core of tropical fruit flavors that invites you to take another sip. «

Creating interiors that stand the test of time is Erin Cantu’s mantra.

“While we believe in a strong foundation of clean lines and neutral tones, our goal is to bring out each client’s individual style with ease and charm,” says the owner of Erin A. Cantu Interiors. For this 4,000-square-foot condo, Cantu delivered an impeccable interior design tailored to fit her clients’ lifestyle. A neutral palette with accents in soft sea-glass colors and a simple combination of textures and warm wood finishes result in a contemporary home with a “less is more” approach. In the dining area, a Vanguard table is surrounded with Lillian August dining chairs in dual fabrics from Casamance and Osborne & Little. A capiz shell chandelier by Corbett Lighting adds a chic coastal element. The open kitchen is a major highlight, complete with the perfect eat-in breakfast nook featuring a custom banquette and trestle-style table. Delray Beach (erinacantu.com) —Mary Thurman Yuhas

POWDER ROOM PIZZAZZ Designer Jennifer Knowles of Knowles Design predicted a captivating wallcovering would elevate this space in an Everglades Island home.

“We wanted to do something in keeping with classic design with subtle references to the Palm Beach style,” says Knowles. “Powder rooms should have a bit of drama, and we achieved that by using this stunning Nina Campbell wallpaper with a bold palm pattern. The rich chocolate background swerved it toward elegant rather than preppy. And the soft gray tones and variation in the mostly white marble on both the vanity and the floor plays beautifully with the light coming in through the window and the Intracoastal water views beyond.” Boca Raton (knowlesdesign.com)

PROMOTION

When your real estate agent won’t invite you to meet their marketing team, there likely isn’t one. When you visit Waterfront Properties corporate office it will be obvious that Waterfront is as much a marketing firm with expert knowledge and a budget to focus on a sale of your property as it is a real estate brokerage.

The Waterfront Advantage

Email Marketing Team

The last word that could ever be used to describe Waterfront Properties is ordinary. At Waterfront’s marketing headquarters, a diligent and enthusiastic staff works hand-in-hand with real estate agents. Together, they collaborate to expertly market their sellers’ properties and reach buyers all over the world. Don’t assume this is the norm in every real estate office.

Through use of email marketing, Waterfront is able to communicate directly with thousands of potential buyers looking for properties similar to your home’s location and price range.

Waterfront’s agents often know about properties before they are on the market which allows buyers to hear about them before they appear in MLS.

David Abernathy, Business Manager at Waterfront, says “my colleagues at other brokerages are envious of Waterfront’s 20+ person marketing team because we don’t need to outsource key marketing projects.” The company’s dedicated marketing budget provides the marketing team with the most up-to-date marketing technology, equipment and strategies.

Print Production Team

How? Here is a glimpse behind the scenes…

Behind the scenes, the marketing team assists Waterfront agents to solely focus on quickly connecting sellers and buyers.

Photo Expertise/Graphic Design Team In the digital arena, Waterfront’s in-house photographers, graphic designers and photo editors are highly trained and work with agents to understand home features that buyers are looking for.

Then the team is able to highlight the best features of sellers’ properties in all marketing materials. Using specific, proven strategies, they’re able to captivate buyers’ interest with photos and designs that make an impact.

Waterfront’s team of production specialists and graphic designers collaborate to create high quality marketing materials such as brochures, postcards, local publications and special mail pieces.

Their massive, industrial-sized printer allows the team to create all materials in-house and in a timely fashion.

Owners/Brokers from many other areas have come to Waterfront to learn from Rob Thomson, Waterfront’s managing partner, about how the marketing team is able to free up agents’ time to focus entirely on finding buyers for their sellers’ properties.

When deciding to sell or buy property, Waterfront invites you to visit their marketing headquarters to meet with Thomson and the marketing team. They promise it will be anything but ordinary.

Internet/SEO/Social Media Team In today’s world of digital giants like Amazon and Facebook, Waterfront knows the importance of web dominance. With a dedicated team focusing on the Internet and digital marketing, Waterfront’s websites consistently appear at the top of Google.

Their sellers’ properties are promoted on thousands of local, national and international real estate websites and social media channels, creating maximum online exposure for homes to the right audiences all over the world.

BALANCE

By Liza Grant Smith

NOURISH

Post-Party

Remedy If festive fêtes leave you feeling not so merry and bright, there are a few natural hangover cures to try. Nopal cactus (prickly pear) has been used for medicinal purposes for thousands of years, and a study published in JAMA Internal Medicine found that, when consumed before alcohol, prickly pear extract can inhibit the production of inflammation that triggers hangover symptoms. True nopal cactus water (truenopal.com) delivers intense hydration through a combination of antioxidants and electrolytes, all without added sugars, preservatives, or GMOs. Alcohol’s diuretic effects result in the loss of B vitamins and other nutrients. Bytox patches (bytox.com) were designed to replenish the body, with each patch boasting 1,000 mcg of B12 and an array of nutrients from allnatural, organic ingredients like acai and green tea extract.

Essential oils can also help to ease hangover symptoms.

Peppermint can target headaches, ginger can address nausea, and rosemary can elevate energy levels. 21 Drops (21drops.com) offers a Detox concentrate that combines stomach-settling cardamom and purifying geranium. Add a few drops to your diffuser or apply to pressure points to reap the benefits.

SEASON’S EATINGS Does your holiday dessert consumption put you on your personal trainer’s naughty list? Don’t banish those visions of sugar plums—just make a smart choice about where you satiate the craving. Several local bakeries and restaurants offer sumptuous dessert selections that adhere to dietary restrictions. Here are three of our favorites.

1

JOEY’S HOME BAKERY, BOYNTON BEACH

Joey Weiss’ gluten-free journey began when her husband was diagnosed with celiac disease 18 years ago. In that time, she’s perfected her gluten-free baking techniques, resulting in delicious favorites like pumpkin pie ($39), which is also free of dairy and low in carbs, and her vegan pecan pie ($64). “Normally pecan pie has a gooey filling, but our version is filled with ground pecan mix with organic golden flaxseed meal,” says Weiss. (joeyshomebakeryglutenfree.com)

DARBSTER, WEST PALM BEACH As a revered vegetarian go-to, Darbster has gained a reputation for reinterpreting classic dishes with a plant-based mindset. The restaurant’s desserts are legendary, and its gluten-free key lime pie ($95) is one of the best in the county. It’s packed with protein and made using ingredients such as tofu cream cheese, unprocessed cane sugar, fresh key limes, oats, and organic walnuts. (darbster.com)

CHRISTOPHER’S KITCHEN, PALM BEACH GARDENS This eatery is

known for its high-quality, certified-organic, plant-based food—and the desserts are no exception. The lemon-vanilla cheesecake ($100) is made from almonds, cashews, coconut, cinnamon, maple syrup, lime, lemon, and vanilla, and comes topped with fruit upon request. The pumpkin pie ($100) is a delectable mix of walnuts, dates, pumpkin pie spice, cashews, coconut, cinnamon, nutmeg, and vanilla. (christopherskitchen.com)

WARM-UP

ROCK Your Body

Why listen to music while working out when you can become the music? In Pound fitness classes, participants use specially designed lightweight drumsticks (known as Ripstix) to perform a full-body workout that combines cardio, conditioning, and strength training with yoga and Pilates-inspired movements. It’s a kick-butt way to burn 900 or more calories per hour, but because you’re busy pounding to the beat and focusing on the rhythm, the minutes fly by.

In addition to leading classes at the DeVos-Blum Family YMCA of Boynton Beach, instructor Alina Orenstein (aka MissFit) hosts an array of Pound events.

Beginners can stop by for a free Wellness Wednesday class, held once a month on the roof of Rosemary Square’s Hibiscus Garage. During Orenstein’s Pound and Pour session, attendees can reward themselves for a workout well done with a cold one at Due South Brewing Company, which is included in the $15 class fee. Here, we chat with Orenstein about the workout and why she loves it. (missfit.icertcpr.com)

«

PBI: How did you discover Pound?

Orenstein: Three-and-a-half years ago I went to a studio expecting to take a hip-hop class. The instructor had an emergency and another instructor was doing a Pound demo. He encouraged me to join in. From the first moment I put those Ripstix in my hand, I was hooked. It was love at first strike.

Who’s a good fit for Pound?

This class is truly for all fitness levels from children to seniors. All of the moves have modifications to adjust to those with injuries or any other issues. I even currently have a student who broke her foot and is doing Pound from her wheelchair.

How do you keep the workout fun while still making sure participants are getting fit?

Keeping students engaged is easy. The music is inspiring, the energy is infectious, and you leave feeling like a rock star. I also host themed classes, special occasion tracks, Pound and Pour events, holiday fun, and much more.

LIBRA RISING

Facebook is launching a new digital currency—but is the world ready?

By Judy Martel Cryptocurrency is nothing new—it’s been in circulation since the 2009 launch of Bitcoin—but the digital asset’s volatility has prevented the masses from embracing it. That could change in 2020 when social media giant Facebook plans to make a new currency called Libra available to users of Facebook and its other holdings, such as WhatsApp and Instagram.

Facebook is a founding member of the not-for-profit Libra Association, which is developing the virtual money along with other companies and academic institutions. What makes Libra different from other cryptocurrencies, says Honghui Chen, professor of finance at the University of Central Florida, is that it’ll be less volatile and also more convenient to use via Calibra, an online account Facebook describes as a “digital wallet.”

Through social media, users will be able to view their balance in Calibra depicted in their local currency. They can spend, transfer,

send, and store the digital money in their Calibra account and also use it with partners in the Libra Association. Facebook is seeking to reduce the volatility of Libra by not tying its value to an algorithm or a single currency, but rather to a more stable asset or group of assets. One possibility is to value each unit based on a basket of international currencies, including the U.S. dollar, euro, British pound, Japanese yen, and Singapore dollar, says Chen. The other is to peg the value to so-called “stable coin,” which itself is tied to a relatively stable asset, such as gold or government-backed legal tender.

Social media’s global reach—some 2 billion users worldwide in the case of Facebook—makes it an ideal platform for international commerce, but there are concerns about security and privacy in the wake of Facebook’s recent lapses. Chen believes that because the Libra Association comprises a group of entities, it creates more layers of

162 PALM BEACH ILLUSTRATED

162_WEALTH_1219.indd 162

10/31/19 9:21 AM

security. “I have more confidence in Libra because it is not controlled by one company.”

In addition, he continues, the blockchain network is not currently open to the public but privately controlled by the Libra Association, though there are plans to change that in five years. In a nutshell, blockchain is the record-keeping technology behind cryptocurrency.

Bitcoin’s blockchain network is public, for example, but although transactions are not completely anonymous, personal information about users is inaccessible. To further address privacy concerns, Facebook is setting up Calibra as a separate business entity and says it won’t share spending data with other holdings unless users grant permission.

But global regulatory concerns still loom large for the association and could delay its planned mid-year launch. Some companies have already pulled out of the association, citing concerns about regulatory focus on their core businesses. France and Germany are reportedly pledging to block Libra in Europe.

If the association is successful in launching Libra, the question about what Facebook gains from developing a new currency remains. Chen says the idea of

banking through social media is nothing new. China has been doing it for six years via its own social media giant, WeChat. Theoretically, users can easily and instantly pay for items displayed in ads on Facebook through Calibra, possibly leading to more time spent on social media, notes Chen. In addition, the association will retain interest income from the currency reserve on Libra, meaning accountholders will not earn interest.

Getting into the digital currency game before its competitors could allow Facebook to strengthen its brand and potentially increase its number of users if they join because of Calibra. Among other tech giants, Amazon offers its own digital wallet for customers, but Chen says he wouldn’t be surprised if it creates a digital currency in the future. Apple Pay is a successful online payment system, but it is hardware dependent in that it requires an Apple device. However, being first has its risks. Because Libra is new and untested, Chen advises caution.

“I wouldn’t put a lot of money in at first, maybe just a couple of hundred. I can see the system improving as it grows—but test the water and add money little by little as you feel comfortable.” «

AGENDA

By Mary Murray

Shaken, Not Stirred

Libations come to life in Cocktail Hour: The Show, onstage at the Crest Theatre at Old School Square in Delray Beach December 20 and 21. Produced by the New York City–based company Ballets with a Twist, Cocktail Hour features more than a dozen original dances inspired by cocktails and mocktails such as the Cuba Libre (above), White Russian, Hot Toddy, and Shirley Temple (right).

Artistic director and choreographer Marilyn Klaus explains that the company’s repertoire includes about 30 pieces, but that the exact “mixology” behind creating each number is different every time.

“I usually walk into the studio with a general notion of what a particular drink feels like in my mind but an

otherwise blank slate,” she says. Composer Stephen Gaboury and costume designer Catherine Zehr join in the creative process to round out the individual vignettes, which range from a hot Havana night, to a wintry wedding, to a Roaring Twenties romp.

Klaus also stresses the diversity of dance in the family-friendly show, adding that while every company member is classically trained in ballet, there’s a “major groove” that permeates the program.

“Whether you’re a fan of Broadway shows, pop concerts, TV dance competitions, or any other type of fun-loving entertainment, you will likely find something that grabs you during one of our performances.” (oldschoolsquare.org)

Celebrate the holidays with the King of Camp when “A John Waters Christmas” takes over the Kravis Center in West Palm Beach December 2. Baltimore’s favorite native son gained national attention as the director of such films as Pink Flamingos, Hairspray, and Cry-Baby, cult classics that earned him the moniker of the Pope of Trash. The mustachioed maverick continued his assault on popular culture by penning numerous books including Shock Value, Carsick: John Waters Hitchhikes Across America, and Mr. Know-It-All: The Tarnished Wisdom of a Filth Elder. It was in an essay entitled Why I Love Christmas that Waters first admitted his adoration for December 25. He followed up that breakthrough with a yuletide album and a oneman show that shares his ruminations on all he finds naughty and nice about this annual “jubilee of consumerism.” (kravis.org)
