"Enlightening Soul" by Michele Penn Penn is a Sarasota-based author and self-taught photographer. She was in a 14-year verbally abusive relationship and in a dark place with no-self esteem. Floral photography awakened her soul and with her new hobby, she found she could let go and be someone new. She's written two books that include her photography — one with renowned author Eckhart Tolle, "Peace in the Present Moment" and one telling her story "Dance in the Garden."

This piece will be on display May 2 through June 22 in the 24th annual Juried Photography Exhibition: "Tropical Visions" at Marie Selby Botanical Gardens. For more information about Michele Penn, visit peaceinthepresentmoment.net.

BY MALLORY GNAEGY | A&E EDITOR

iconcept 6 Benefiting: Art Center Sarasota When: 6 p.m. Friday, March 28 Where: Sarasota Municipal Auditorium Tickets: $125 | Call: 365-2032 Not many fashion shows take trash and send it down the runway with such high acclaim. This year’s show featuring area artists creating fashion from non-traditional materials will be just as clever as previous years. For instance, Andrea Silvergleit will send down a piece made of Activia containers titled “Regular Fashion for Regular People.”

Sir Frederick Ashton Festival

The Grapes of Wrath When: 8 p.m. Friday, March 14. Runs through April 19.

Where: Asolo Repertory Theatre | Tickets: $21 to $76 | Call: 351-8000

When: April 30 through May 3 Where: 8 p.m. performances at Sarasota Opera House; noon lectures and 3 p.m. films at Historic Asolo Theater Tickets: Subscriptions run from $80 to $324 Call: 359-0099, Ext. 101

In 1990, Frank Galati adapted Steinbeck’s “The Grapes of Wrath” for the stage, and he won a Tony award for his work. Asolo Repertory Theatre Artistic Director Michael Donald Edwards directs this production set during the Great Depression. It follows the Joad family’s migration from Oklahoma to California, where they hope to find more opportunity.

Vijay Iyer presents 2012 Greenfield Prize Commission PremierE Benefiting: Hermitage Artist Retreat, Greenfield Foundation, La Musica International Chamber Music Festival When: 8 p.m. Thursday, April 10 Where: Sarasota Opera House Tickets: $40 Call: 475-2098 Vijay Iyer received the Greenfield Prize ($30,000 in the form of a commission) in 2012, and had two years to create a commission. The pianist/composer created a work, “Turbulence,” inspired by the Gulf Coast and will present it April 10. This year Hermitage Artist Retreat teamed up with La Musica International Chamber Music Festival, which means leading up to the commission’s presentation La Musica will host artist talks and open rehearsals.

Sarasota ballet will present a four-day festival dedicated to the work of late founding choreographer of the British Royal Ballet, Sir Frederick Ashton. Critics from the New York Times and Pointe Magazine have hailed Sarasota Ballet for its Ashton repertoire, of which the ballet will perform 11 works at the festival.

PoetryLife When: Various times May 2 and 3 Where: Florida Studio Theatre Tickets: Events $15; Above and Beyond luncheon $35 | Call: 365-7900 This event promotes poetry education for teachers and students of poetry, but a few of the events are open to the public — and these are the ones that shouldn’t be missed. Each year, Bookstore1Sarasota and Florida Studio Theatre partner to bring great visiting writers. This year, Mark Doty, author of New York Times bestseller “Dog Years,” and Kevin Young, a renowned leading contemporary poet, will read and speak about their work.

“Real Italian Food Finds a Home In Sarasota” CasAntica Restaurant is a refined and exclusive Italian culinary haven, located in the charming historic theater district of Sarasota, Florida. Owner and operator Pietro Migliaccio incorporates an intimate restaurant within this quaint Mediterranean style home. Pietro was born and raised on the small remote Isle of Ischia, Italy. This beautiful Island is nestled off the volcanic coast of Naples where Mount Vesuvius is royally viewed on the distant horizon. Pietro moved to America when he was 18 years old where he gained extensive restaurant knowledge and experience and has worked in some of New York’s finest restaurants. In 1968 Pietro opened his very first Italian Restaurant with his brother Giorgio. The very successful “Mamma Lucia’s” located in Brooklyn has hosted big names such as Isabella Rossellini, Robert De Niro, Martin Scorsese and Luciano Pavarotti all who praised the culinary excellence, attention to detail and service on national television.

In 1980 the New York Times named Mamma Lucia “Restaurant of the Year” and later Mimi Sheridan, famous food writer and critic gave Mamma Lucia Four Stars. In 2003 Pietro found the pristine setting of Siesta Key to be very similar in foliage and climate to his native Ischia where he opened his restaurant “Gabbiano’s”.

Pietro has recently ventured away from Siesta Key moving his attention and talents “back home” to a more intimate and exclusive downtown setting.

CasAntica translates to “Old House”.

As you step into this rustic yet elegant historic home you feel immersed in CasAntica’s charm. Pietro’s desire was to reproduce a familiar atmosphere bringing him back to the beginning of his career, when he learned to cook at home with his mother, Lucia. In fact his family recipes can still be found within all of his previous restaurants. CasAntica features a spacious outside dining area where the gentle bay breeze and scent of salt air adds to the created ambience. This historic home hosts a warm welcoming wine bar as you enter, a cozy dining room with the glow of an antique fire place, exclusive dining rooms where your family occasions can be privately celebrated and converted upstairs rooms for intimate dining are all part of this Italian home cooking experience.

CasAntica truly is the perfect setting… exclusive, romantic and intimate. “I started my career at home and I am ending my career at home,” says Pietro.

“This beautiful small historic house provides me the opportunity to meet and engage all of our patrons each evening.

My goals are to provide a personalized, exceptional quality dining experience to everyone that enters my home and more importantly to have fun again doing what I love most…serving people. I hope that you enjoy every minute of your dining experience with our family.

The most perfect place to end your day…Home.”

Peter & Susan Migliaccio invite you to experience the warmth, comfort & world-class food at their NEW, downtown Italian Restaurant.

Sylvia Zimmerman 941.350.5022

440 Gulf of Mexico Dr. • Longboat Key Sylvia Zimmerman attributes her reputation as one of Southwest Florida’s most outstanding real estate agents to her extensive business background, as well as her intense focus on customer service.

A longtime Sarasota-area resident, Sylvia builds enduring client relationships, possesses a profound facility for bringing buyers and sellers together and offers an intricate knowledge of the many unique communities that beckon newcomers to both Sarasota and Manatee counties.

Drawn to Sarasota by its natural beauty, exciting culture and remarkable weather, Sylvia’s love for tennis and golf found the perfect fit. Having lived on the bay (Siesta Key), on the beach (Casey Key), on a canal (Bird Key) and in two golf course communities (Lakewood Ranch Country Club and Laurel Oaks Estates), she can personally identify with the variety of opportunities available on Florida’s Gulf Coast—a unique advantage she passes on to her clients.

With her years of experience in real estate sales, no one knows the area better!
