Arts in Education

from the desk of the

PresidentFriends,

Observing the growth of creativity in our Arts and Cultural assets in Polk County is like watching the bud of a rose bloom. The fragrances... the colors... the symmetry ... of nature blooming draws both my attentiveness and gratitude. Gratitude for the “little” things enhances my appreciation for those who make the Arts happen here in Polk County.

In the journey we have undertaken this year at Polk Arts Alliance, we are discovering what enables our Arts community to continue it’s growth. Seeing the “Arts” groups unite to share common concerns, and to formulate a united message has become constructive to promoting the influence of the Arts in Polk County, and the experiences we enjoy. We have much opportunity in front of us, and joining our efforts enhances what any of us could accomplish alone.

At PAA, advocating for Arts and Culture is an opportunity with much potential. And, it will be our united voice that speaks the loudest. We are launching our “Stand Up for the Arts” campaign, and ask each of you to join us. If you, too, are grateful for the culture of creativity that Arts brings to enhance our lives, then come, walk this journey with us. Join the Polk Arts Alliance!

Creative Youth: 12th Congressional DistriCt Competition awarDsTianna Harvey, a senior at Harrison Center for the Visual and Performing Arts, was awarded Best in Show for her mixed-media art piece, titled “Poission”on February 12, 2012 as part of the annual Creative Youth: Twelfth Congressional District Competition at the Polk Museum of Art.

More than 700 students from schools in Polk County and parts of Osceola and Hillsborough counties submitted art to be judged. Judges recognized 100 students, and 14 students received awards at the awards reception.

Harvey’s piece will be sent to Washington, D.C., to be displayed at the U.S. Capitol for one year with other Congressional District winners from around the country. First place was awarded to Ali Blackledge, a senior at Ridge Community, for her “Self Portrait,” made with graphic arts. Second place was awarded to Michaela Vaughan, a freshman at Harrison School of the Arts, for her watercolor painting titled “Fall.” Third place was awarded to Kaitlyn Strange, a senior at George Jenkins, for her mixed media piece called “Reflection.”

Randy Lopez, a sophomore at Harrison School of the Arts, received the Polk Museum of Art Purchase Award and his mixed-media piece, titled “No Parts,” will be a permanent addition to the museum’s collection. Gabriela Molleda, a senior at Harrison, won the Polk County School Board Purchase Award with her mixed-media piece titled “Focus” that will hang in the school board office.

As we all look forward to the dog days of summer it has been a very busy spring for the arts in Polk County. The Polk Arts Alliance’s 6th Annual Race for the Arts in March was a great success. The board of directors would like to thank our arts and race champion, Commissioner Bob English, who has chaired the event from the beginning, came up with the concept “Race for the Arts” and the reason it has grown to be the success that it is. Despite all the race events going on that same weekend, this year was our best yet!

I attended Arts Day in Tallahassee in March to meet our new Secretary of State who is continuing the Culture Builds Florida campaign. As a member of the Florida Cultural Alliance we are all working on this campaign in

the state with a focus on the recognition and importance of jobs in the Cultural Arts Sector and its impact on the state economy and economic development. Also, having been elected as a new board member of Americans for the Arts in DC and NYC, Polk County arts and culture has an opportunity for a national media platform.

Polk Arts Alliance and the Cultural Arts Council are currently working with our county tourism office on collaborating to bookend this spring as “Heart of the Arts” for advertising our county as a destination for the arts. They are helping with ad placement and media to advertise our many diverse cultural events throughout the county. With a spring and fall “Heart of the Arts” focus we will have double exposure and branding of Polk County as the destination for the arts, (that we already know it is).

For all the cultural events, camps and activities in our county please visit our ongoing updates on our website at www.polkarts.org

By Sandra Dimsdale Horan

Art is in bloom in communities around Polk County this spring. Several local arts organizations are partnering with government agencies and downtown businesses to transform their communities through public art and pedestrian walkways.

Public art is taking center stage at several big events, including Platform Art Party #19 in Lakeland and the annual Central Park Stroll in Winter Haven.

Platform Art Party #19: Art in AgriCulturePlatform Art is working with the Lakeland Community Redevelopment Agency to establish a pedestrian-friendly walkway between The Lakeland Center and downtown. Platform has commissioned a ceramic, two-dimensional, 160-foot-long tile sculpture to be installed April 27 and 28 on the top rail of the Orange Street Bridge. Ceramicist Charlie Parker of St. Pete is designing and fabricating the tiles.

The project culminates with Art Party #19: Art in AgriCulture, from 7 to 11 p.m. April 28 at St. Joseph Catholic Church Basketball Pavilion downtown. At the party, the tile will be dedicated, University of Florida Extension Services will show off Florida-friendly gardens, and visual artists, film, fashion, live music and other performances will be featured. The project will be the first of a series of planned streetscape improvements and cultural art events to encourage pedestrian and bicycle traffic into downtown Lakeland.

“Platform Art will contribute to the cultural landscape of Lakeland and Polk County with a permanent public art installation and community park and garden on the Orange Street Bridge and New York Avenue,” says Cynthia Haffey, executive director of Platform Art. “The event-driven activity leaves an art installation and an improved landscape behind as the first piece to an ongoing physical improvement connecting the west side to the core of downtown. The resulting public-private partnership involves plantings, bike racks, benches and public art along the pedestrian route and proposed bike path.”

Central Park StrollOn May 3, Polk Museum of Art and the City of Winter Haven are joining together at the Central Park Stroll to celebrate the winning artwork in the 12th Annual Florida Outdoor Sculpture Competition. Ten new sculptures have been installed in downtown Winter Haven parks and will remain on exhibition for a year.

The city of Winter Haven has embraced using the cultural arts to strengthen downtown, recognizing that public art can be a powerful draw for business people who want to stay downtown during their lunch hour or after work as well as for art-loving tourists seeking to explore towns off the beaten path. Winter Haven has been host to the FLOSC for the past eight years.

“Public art not only enhances the natural environment, it makes art accessible to people who may never step foot into a gallery,” says Adam Justice, curator of art at Polk Museum of Art. “Public sculptures soon become a part of the natural landscape, emphasizing the idea that people and art can share a living space and thrive. A reciprocal relationship gradually evolves between citizens and public art because, whether conscious of it or not, these citizens in some way develop a sense of ownership for these sculptures. And, art needs people, just as people need art.”

Lemon Street PromenadeThe FLOSC actually started on the Lemon Street Promenade in downtown Lakeland, but in recent years, public art has been largely absent from that busy street. However, downtown was abuzz one February morning as the city began installing new sculptures along the Promenade. Working with Polk Museum of Art, the city contracted with Georgia artist Doug Makemson to display 12 of his metal sculptures along Lemon Street.

“Public art definitely adds to the flavor of our downtown,” says Kevin Cook, director of communications for the City of Lakeland. “We really like the fact that Makemson’s work is something everyone can identify with; he does lots of wildlife. And, the way they are constructed includes lots of motion. They have real personality.”

Visitors to Lakeland interested in viewing outdoor sculpture can find a map of public art on LakelandGov.net.

Sketches & SteelSpeaking of downtown sculptures, Albert Paley’s Tribute to Volunteerism on Lake Mirror has been a hot topic for several years. This spring, Polk Museum of Art is showing an exhibition of the internationally renowned sculptor’s work Sketches & Steel. The exhibition includes sketches and small scale models of Tribute as well as some of Paley’s well-known sculptures from around the nation and world. The exhibition will be on view through June 23.

Magic at the SymphonyTuesday, May 1, 2012 at 7:30pmYoukey Theatre, The Lakeland Center

MARK THIELEN, Music Director and ConductorFor tickets or more information call 863-688-3743 or visit ImperialSymphony.org.

To anyone who has ever experienced the magic of symphonic music, putting Master Illusionist Lyn Dillies together with the Imperial Symphony Orchestra makes perfect sense.

Dillies has reached the highest level of her profession, earning the prestigious Merlin Award for Female Illusionist Of The Year from the International Magicians’ Society. The Merlin Award is the equivalent of an Oscar in the magic industry. Former recipients include Doug Henning, David Copperfield and Siegfried and Roy.

In one of her most famous illusions, two live elephants appeared in front of a live audience. She has performed often on television and in front of audiences throughout the United States and Canada. However, some of her favorite magic involves teaming her wizardry with symphonic classics. “I want audiences, especially children to discover the magic of classical music as well as my illusions,” she says.

Lyn Dillies will be performing with the Imperial Symphony Orchestra in Masterworks 5: “Magic at the Symphony.” Musical selections include “Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows Suite,” “Highlights from ‘Wicked’,” and the “Overture from ‘The Magic Flute’.” The performance takes place Tuesday, May 1st, at 7:30 pm at the Lakeland Center’s Youkey Theater.

MUSEUM ADMISSION$5 General, $4 Seniors,

*Special exhibitions or events may have different admission fees or hours.

An ancient parable tells of six blind men who encounter a large elephant. Each man feels a different part of the elephant and defines what they are encountering based on their particular perspective: One man feels the elephant’s trunk and concludes it is bamboo; another touches the elephant’s ear and believes it to be a fan; a third feels the elephant’s leg and decides it is a pillar; and so on. The moral: Interpretation depends largely on your perspective and experience.

A new exhibition at Polk Museum of Art, Invisible Elephant, explores the parable through new artwork by Florida artists Theo Wujcik and Kirk Ke Wang. The exhibition will be on view from June 30 through October 13.

Wujcik, a master printer, was born in Detroit and is professor emeritus at the University of South Florida. Ke Wang, a painter, sculptor, photographer and mixed media artist, was born in Shanghai, China, and serves as professor of visual arts at Eckerd College.

Wujcik and Ke Wang first worked together last year in Visual Unity 2, an exhibition at Polk Museum of Art that paired artists to co-produce new works for exhibition. While collaborating on that project, they became deeply interested in each other’s national identity. Their two collaborative paintings and their individual pieces were woven into their cross-cultural grounding. For Invisible Elephant, Wujcik and Ke Wang are working individually to produce new works based on their unique perspectives in relation to the other’s cultural background.

The exhibition will be celebrated at a reception August 24. The artists will discuss their work beginning at 6 p.m., and a reception featuring light hors d’oeuvres and a cash bar begins at 7 p.m. The event is free to Museum members and $10 for guests.

Invisible Elephant, Kirk Ke Wang, 2011


There is quite a history in the pianos that make their home in the Ramon Theater. One is the original upright piano that was purchased for the Ramon

Theater when it was built in 1925. The newest addition is a baby-grand piano that was in the family of Paul David Hutzelman, for many years. Paul happens to be the husband of Kay Hutzelman, President of the Ramon Theater Board of Directors and one of the original members of the group that initiated the restoration of the theater.

The original piano, which is a Knabe Baltimore series manufactured by William Knabe & Co., was used during the silent movie era. It still sits in the same place it occupied so many years ago, above the orchestra pit that was covered as part of the restoration process, but which can still be accessed if ever needed. Nora June Mullin Truitt played the piano for silent movies. The unique thing is that Mrs. Truitt never knew in advance what movie would be showing so she watched the movie as she was playing and adjusted the tempo of the music to the action that was taking place on the screen at the time.

Her daughter June Truitt Felt, who is one of our own Frostproof Treasures, began sitting on the bench at her mother’s side, at four years old, and learned to play beautifully without ever having a lesson, learning to play by ear. June still graces the Ramon Theater on special occasions and plays those old tunes on that same piano as people assemble for meetings, luncheons and banquets.

The newest addition to the Ramon Theater is a Whitney Baby Grand made by Kimbell, built in 1925. It was purchased from a dance hall in 1926 at Mansfield, Ohio, by Margaret E. Hutzelman, Paul David Hutzelman’s mother. All three Hutzelman children, a sister and two brothers, took lessons on the piano from another teacher, although their mother was an accomplished pianist in her own right.

At Mrs. Hutzelman’s death the Whitney Baby Grand went to Paul’s sister and another Spinnet piano that was in the family home went to Paul. Just last year Paul’s sister decided she would like to have the Spinnet piano so the Whitney Baby Grand was donated to the Ramon Theater by Paul and Kay Hutzelman who had it beautifully restored, refinished and tuned by Piano Restorations by Don MacDonald. The original upright Ramon piano can’t be tuned to stringed instruments so it was imperative that the Ramon have a piano that would enhance our musical programs.

The Ramon Theater is once again a vibrant cultural center for entertainment, corporate and civic events, business seminars, musical productions, banquets, reunions, weddings, receptions and other uses. For information on renting the Ramon Theater for your event please call 863-635-7222.

March 23 through April 22, 43rd Annual Student Art ShowReception and Awards Ceremony April 22, 3:00-6:00 p.m.Each year, in conjunction with the lakeside art show, students from area schools display more than 600 pieces of art work in a variety of styles and media including watercolor, clay, oil, pastels and mask making. Students in K-12 compete for ribbons and cash prizes. The art work is incredible!

April 13-May 31 2012: New Vision – A Fine Art Show (formerly Municipal Art Show at City of Lake Wales Municipal Building) will be held at the Lake Wales Arts Center. Opening reception and award ceremony April 13 from 5:30-7:00pm Free.

April 26 through May 31, 2012: Driven to Abstraction featuring Tony Eitharong and Carol Frye. Join us for the opening reception on April 26, 5-7:00pm. Free!

Tony Eitharong was born in Bangkok, Thailand, immigrated to the U.S. in 1972, and settled in Orlando. His early mastery of technique resulted in detailed graphite drawings of great realism. His more

recent work has found its great expression in a bold use of color and multi-media assemblies contrasting dramatic images of childhood innocence and peace with the realities of war and destruction. Eitharong has won many major awards nationwide with his unique style of painting and his wonderful creations from found objects. Eitharong is affiliated with several galleries, has had numerous one-person exhibitions across the country, judged at art shows in Florida, and his art work is part of many permanent collections.

Carol Frye’s work has moved from realism and landscapes to abstraction in a variety of forms. Originally from Pennsylvania, Carol and her family moved to Florida in 1994. Her vibrant strokes of color, bold calligraphy and brilliant foils have made her passionate expressions accessible to viewers. Her current works are both experimental and intuitive. She believes painting is really a spiritual process and each painting seems to flow and grow, layer upon layer quit naturally. A consistent award winner, her paintings have been included in major local, national and international competitions.

Live Performance SeriesApril 20, 7:30pm: Jazz Victoria Ensemble. Victoria is well-known to local audiences and will assemble a few of her talented friends for an evening of jazz. Victoria has had a major career as

Arts Programming to Thrive at Polk StateCollege Lake Wales Arts Center

The residents of Lake Wales will be the beneficiaries of an innovative partnership between Polk State College and the Lake

Wales Arts Council. Late last year, the LWAC’s board of directors voted unanimously

to transfer title of the Lake Wales Arts Center building to Polk State; the Polk State College District Board of Trustees in November officially accepted the title.

In exchange for the title, Polk State has assured the LWAC that the building – now known as the Polk State College Lake Wales Arts Center – will be renovated and maintained by the College and that arts and cultural programming at the facility will continue. The building is located at 1099 State Road 60 East.

“This is a very exciting agreement for Polk State and for the Lake Wales community. It’s a classic win-win situation. The Council has transferred stewardship of a precious, historic resource to the College, in order to maintain the viability of the facility and preserve community access to a beautiful structure and an array of important culture and arts events,” said Polk State President Dr. Eileen Holden.

Renovations will begin this summer and will be minimal, ensuring that the structure complies with city codes and college standards, all while preserving the character of the building.

The Polk State College Lake Wales Arts Center is now owned and operated by the Polk State College District Board of Trustees. An advisory board will be created, consisting of six members to be appointed by the Polk State Trustees and five members appointed by the LWAC.

Sustainability funding for the Polk State College Lake Wales Arts Center has been provided by the State of Florida, which added operating funds to the College budget in the 2011 legislative session.

The LWAC will maintain an office at the building, and the group will continue to organize the Lake Wales Arts Show, the Student Art Show, the Marilyn Newell Youth Music Festival, Chorale, and other performances, exhibits and events.

In addition to continuing to host arts programming the community expects and appreciates, the building will allow Polk State to expand its educational offerings. Polk State’s existing JD Alexander Center is operating at or near capacity, said Winter Haven Provost Dr. Sharon Miller.

“The building will certainly expand access to opportunity – a value Polk State holds dear,” she said.

The Lake Wales Depot Museum at 325 S. Scenic Highway was originally built as a passenger station by the Atlantic Coast Line Railroad in 1928. Passenger service to Lake Wales ceased in 1954, but freight service remained until 1974 when it was shifted to the West Lake Wales station. The Spanish style building with the red tile roof remained as a landmark of the post boom era in Lake Wales. Efforts began in 1974 by the Bicentennial Commission to convert the empty building into a museum and cultural arts center for the citizens of Lake Wales.

Since opening in 1976, the Depot Museum has evolved into a resource center for the collection, conservation, exhibition, and the study of materials pertaining to the history of Lake Wales. It is the goal of the Historic Lake Wales Society to serve as the means by which the historical record of Lake Wales, both past and present, may be preserved and shared with the citizens of the community. Several different exhibits will be presented throughout the year and we invite you to come explore the history of the Native Americans. Our Native American exhibit will be on display from April 1st until the end of June. Following the Native American exhibit just in time for Independence Day will be our Patriotic exhibit. We look forward to seeing you soon and hope you will join us as we preserve the past for the benefit of our future.

Heart Smart KidS tag artKids Tag Art and the Florida Heart Research Institute, presented Heart Smart Art Awards to young local artists on Friday, January 27, 2012. Renowned local artist, Stephen Koury, was the special guest of Tax Collector Joe G. Tedder at this event.

Presentations were made by the Florida Heart Research Institute to four fifth graders whose artwork was selected for best representing heart health as part of this year’s Kids Tag Art school art program.

Students receiving this award are Clara Bryne of St. Joseph’s Catholic School in Winter Haven, Madelyn Long of McKeel Academy, Andrea Moreno of Sleepy Hill Elementary, and Marquis Wise of Laurel Oaks Elementary.

This is the first year for the Heart Smart Art Awards and the first year

that the Florida Heart Research Institute has been a sponsor of Kids Tag Art. The Heart Smart Art Award was designed to encourage youth to be mindful of being heart smart by inviting fifth graders to design a creative kids tag with that theme. “The Florida Heart Research Institute is thrilled to participate as a sponsor to Kids Tag Art and stimulate children about healthy lifestyles”, states Sallie Byrd, VP of Development, FHRI.

Frostproof Art League and Gallery is located in lovely downtown Frostproof, a small town built around the citrus

industry, known as the “Friendly City.” Lovely little groves and several parks with mature southern live oaks dripping with Spanish moss are all around town. The city is the middle of an hourglass shape formed by Lake Clinch to the west and Lake Reedy to the east. The main street through town, Wall Street, runs from lake to lake. If you like to paint or draw out of doors, we have an abundance of vistas to choose from. Sand Hill Cranes can be seen walking around town. Ospreys and Eagles nest in town and around the countryside. If you want to see the real Florida, this is the place to visit. We don’t have gated communities but we do have ranches and cattle. There is a wonderful herd of longhorns along Highway 27 just before the turnoff to Frostproof.

The Art League and local artists opened the Gallery 15 years ago. The Art League has a local membership who can display their work at the Gallery at no charge. The Gallery has a work area available to members as long as the building is open and there are no classes in session. The Art League is a solely volunteer operated, non-profit organization. We have instructors for oils, acrylics and drawing. We are always trying to keep up with what our members want and to attract new members. If you have any interest in creating art, please come see us. If you would just like to look at art, please come see us. You will be amazed at the many talented artists in the local communities. Some of our people are only here during the winter, but we also have a core group of artists who live here year around.

We also have a very active Photography Club that meets at the Art Gallery the first Tuesday of every month to share their knowledge and to grow as photographers. Frostproof has many photo opportunities and is located near Bok Tower, Circle B Bar Ranch preserve, Legoland, and other parks and preserves that provide many vistas and ideas for the creative photographer. If you want a picture of a gator or a bird, we have lots of both in the area. If you want trees and lakes, we can provide that too. We also have historical buildings, warehouses, citrus equipment, domestic animals and interesting people to photograph.

The mission of the Art League is to promote art in the Frostproof area. We do that through the various classes, availability of facilities, shows and other services we offer. However, the best way to promote art is to get young people interested. We do that by providing a free art class, for the children of Frostproof, every Thursday afternoon during the school year. We touch on all areas of art to give the children as wide an experience as possible. The children draw, paint in

various mediums, and even sculpt. This program, as all other services, is provided by volunteers. The children love coming to art class and are excited to have some of their work on display in the Gallery. We also have a two-day art camp for area kids in the summer. We have 6 to 10 year olds in the morning and 11 to 14 year olds in the afternoon. This camp

requires a lot of volunteer help because of the number of children and the number of projects we cram into those two days. We choose a theme and then use as many types of art as we can to illustrate the theme, such as painting, drawing, fabric art and sculpting. The two-day art camps are popular and well-attended.

We have a full schedule of shows during the winter season starting in January with the Fine Arts Show, followed by the Photography Show in February. March is our busiest month with the 3-D Art Show, the Quilt Show. And, our major annual fundraiser is the Wearable Art Show on the second Tuesday in March. April is the Student Art Show. All of these shows are a lot of fun and are very important to us.

Like all 501(c)(3) organizations, we need to raise money to operate. Our other great need is for volunteers. The time and talents that our volunteers give to us is invaluable. We have an anonymous quote on our bulletin board that says, “Volunteers are unpaid not because they are worthless but because they are priceless.” We find that to be very true.

All in all we try to make the Frostproof Art League and Gallery a positive force for the continuation of art in the community. All programs for our young people are free of charge. Art is vital for the welfare of society and our young people need to experience art in all its forms regardless of their economic means. Given exposure and instruction, our next great Artist may develop from any level of the economic scale. Not all of our children will continue in the art field, but they will have learned a different way of looking at the world around them. If we have a positive influence on just one child, our efforts will have been well worth it. Judging by the children in our weekly classes, we are influencing many children in a positive way.

The work we do with children requires a lot of time, effort and materials. We are always looking for volunteer help as well as monetary donations. There are no paid positions at the Art League. Volunteers do everything. All monetary donations are used for materials for the children’s programs. Whether or not you can contribute in any way, please come in and see us. We have great things going on in the Gallery and the people are very friendly. Please put us on your list of things to check out in Frostproof.

April 13-22: “The Hallelujah Girls” by Jessie Jones, Nicholas Hope, and Jamie Wooten. Hilarity abounds in this comedy written by the authors of “The Dixie Swim Club” when the feisty females of Eden Falls, Georgia, decide to open up a day spa in an abandoned church. Led by the high-spirited Sugar Lee, the women must rally together to overcome all their obstacles and launch their new and improved lives. The result is a side-splitting, joyful comedy that will make you laugh out loud and shout “Hallelujah!”

June 15-24: “A Pirate’s Life for Me” by Craig Sodaro, music and lyrics by Bill Francoeur. In their annual HCCT KIDS! production, the younger talents of Haines City Community Theatre will once again entertain audiences of all ages with this musical centering around Aristocrat Roger Goodman and his true love Sarah Huffington. While Roger has his heart set on a conventional life married to the wealthy Sarah, he soon finds out she thinks he’s boring and would rather marry a brave and adventurous pirate! Determined to prove himself to his beloved, Roger hires Long John Sliver to tutor him and his newly recruited motley crew in the field of piracy. What ensues is nothing short of a comedy of errors, enlivened with an eclectic musical score of rollicking sea shanties and contemporary styles. This swashbuckling comedy is sure to be the most comical musical pirate adventure yet!

The theme for this year is“Florida’s Abundance” and the selected artworks are exhibited around this idea. Chairperson for the exhibit, Kati D’Amore, has invited a mixed variety of artists. The exhibitors and their mediums are:

Jerry Fuller of Winter Haven-oils and charcoalLynn Hughes of Lakeland-watercolor Lee Clark of Lakeland-acrylic and oilsMartha Post of Bartow-watercolor Glenda Losh of Bartow-oilsAudrey Lussier of Lakeland-photographyRise St. Arno of Bartow-jewelry

The Historical Polk County Courthouse has housed the exhibit from its inception. The original concept for the Dimensions exhibit was conceived by Bartow artist Rosemary Carter and had the first exhibit in February-April 2000. She says “When I started the Dimensions exhibit, I wanted to follow through with the mentoring idea of the guild. I decided to make the Dimensions exhibit by invitation only. That way I could encourage our budding artists who might think they were not advanced enough to participate alongside members of long standing. The exhibit room in the Historical Museum makes for a unique setting to showcase the diverse talent of the Bartow Art Guild’s membership.”

The special room in the east side of the building will be open from 9 am to 5 pm Tuesday through Saturday. Find Bartow Art Guild on Facebook and more information on the Art Guild’s programs at—

She has spent two years on voice and dance lessons. Ain’t giving this up…

Act 3—the movie musical—20071100 girls audition for the part of chunky Tracy and unknown Nikki Blonsky gets the part. She had absolutely no professional experience (see, dreams can come true).

Neil Simon’s: Rumors

April 12 - 29, 2012Join Theatre Winter Haven Thursdays-Saturdays at 7:30pm and Sundays at 2:30pm with Sunday (4/22) at 7:30 pm and Saturday (4/28) at 2:30 pm

Synopsis:Neil Simon, America's best known multi-award winning playwright, excels in presenting the frustrations of life with delicious humor. His comic concoction, RUMORS, is based on a dinner party where four snazzily-dressed couples gather at the home of Charlie and Myra Brock to celebrate the tenth wedding anniversary of their hosts. But, Charlie is lying upstairs with a bullet hole in his ear lobe, and Myra is nowhere to be seen. We are pitched headlong into high-voltage hilarity as the friends try frantically to protect their host (who is deputy mayor of New York), and themselves, by hiding the evening's events from the outside world.

Platform Art, Inc. presents Platform Art Party #19- Art in AgriCulture- April 28 in downtown Lakeland from 7 to 11 p.m.During the event Platform Art will unveil a ceramic-tile public-art installation

on the Orange St. Bridge in celebration of Polk County’s rich agricultural heritage. Mayor Gow Fields will dedicate the bridge at 7p.m. following a reception at the newly landscaped community garden designed by UF Extension Services and Master Gardeners of Lakeland.

At Art in AgriCulture, Platform Art will present visual art, short films, fashion, music and performance pieces.

This summer here at Lakeland Community Theatre, “Sin is In”. The smash hit musical CHICAGO hits the

stage July 20th thru 29th.

Chicago is based on a play of the same name by reporter Maurine Dallas Watkins, who was assigned to cover the 1924 trials of murderesses Beulah Annan and Belva Gaertner for the Chicago Tribune.

Annan, the model for the character of Roxie Hart, was 23 when she was accused of the April 3, 1924, murder of Harry Kalstedt. The Tribune reported that Annan played the foxtrot record “Hula Lou” over and over for two hours before calling her husband to say she killed a man who “tried to make love to her”. She was found “not guilty” on May 25, 1924. Velma is based on Gaertner, who was a cabaret singer. The body of Walter Law was discovered slumped over the steering wheel of Gaertner’s abandoned car on March 12, 1924. Two police officers testified that they had seen a woman getting into the car and shortly thereafter heard gunshots. A bottle of gin and an automatic pistol were found on the floor of the car. Gaertner was acquitted on June 6, 1924. Lawyers William Scott Stewart and W. W. O’Brien were models for a composite character of “Billy Flynn.”

Watkins’ sensational columns documenting these trials proved so popular that she decided to write a play based on them. The show received both popular and critical acclaim and even made it to Broadway in 1926, running for 172 performances. In the 1960s, Gwen Verdon read the play and asked her husband, Bob Fosse, about the possibility of creating a musical adaptation. Fosse approached Watkins numerous times to buy the rights, but she repeatedly declined. In her later years, Watkins had become a born-again Christian and believed her play glamorized a scandalous way of living. However, upon her death in 1969, her estate sold the rights to producer Richard Fryer, Verdon, and Fosse. John Kander and Fred Ebb began work on the musical score, modeling each number on a traditional vaudeville.

The original Broadway production opened June 3, 1975, at the 46th Street Theatre and ran for 936 performances. Bob Fosse choreographed the original production, and his style is strongly identified with the show. Its 1996 Broadway revival holds the record for the longest-running musical revival on Broadway and is its fourth longest-running show.

As of April 2012, it has played for more than 6,300 performances. The Academy Award -winning film version (2002) of the musical starred Catherine Zeta-Jones and Renee Zellweger ...and the rest is history!

Don’t let the name fool you. No one is racing cars at the Youth America Grand Prix (YAGP). They’re dancing.The world’s largest student ballet scholarship competition awards over

$250,000 annually in scholarships to leading dance schools and students 9 to 19 years old. YAGP competitions are held worldwide.

Lakeland’s own Florida Dance Theatre (FDT) trained five of its Academy students for several months to compete in the ensemble division of YAGP in Tampa earlier this year. Lyla Saxena, age 12, Eve Royal, age 12, Emily Rozen, age 12, Anna Henricks, age 13, and Ali Simmons, age 13, take four to six hours of classical ballet weekly under the direction of Carol Erkes, founder and Artistic Director of Florida Dance Theatre.

“I am so proud of my students. They put in so much extra time to train for this competition. Their hard work and dedication to the art of dance was recognized by other professionals in the dance community,” said Erkes.

These students, who had never competed before, challenged dancers of all ages from all over Florida including the Orlando Ballet School and the Academy of Ballet Arts in St. Petersburg. They placed in the top 12.

Their piece, “Quiet Now,” was choreographed by Stefan Dolbashian, a professional company member of FDT. Stefan rehearsed the girls along with Mai Okubo, also a professional company member of FDT.

Florida Dance Theatre is Polk County’s only professional dance company and training academy. It was originally intended only as a training school, but

Through the additional artistry of guest choreographers, the company has built a reputation for artistic excellence and innovative programming. Florida artists along with professional dancers from around the United States, Russia, Puerto Rico, and Mexico have made FDT a thriving, powerful, and positive arts organization dedicated to the highest quality in performance, instruction, and community education.

Several Academy students have gone on to pursue their professional careers with other companies including the Joffrey Ballet, Ballet Met, Memphis Ballet, Ballet Magnificat, the Smuin Company, and Hartford Ballet. Many students have also received scholarships to college dance programs including Florida State, Southern Methodist University and Goucher College.

Harrison Centerfor the Visual & Performing Arts

Harrison Teacher Recognized asAmerican Ballet Theatre Affiliate The Lois Cowles Harrison Center for the Visual and Performing Arts presented students for Affiliate Examinations at their school on January 26, 2012. The ABT® Affiliate Teacher is a level of distinction for ABT® Certified Teachers who successfully present their students for examinations. The Lois Cowles Harrison Center for the Visual and Performing Arts incorporates the American Ballet Theatre® National Training Curriculum in their teaching, a breakthrough 8 level program that combines high quality artistic training with the basics of dance health and child development. The ABT® National Training Curriculum consists of a comprehensive set of age-appropriate, outcome-based guidelines to provide the highest quality ballet training to dance students of all ages and skill levels. Primary through Level Seven is taught by ABT® Certified Teacher, Susan Olson, who has successfully completed the ABT® Teacher Training Intensive in Primary through Level 7 of the ABT® National Training Curriculum. American Ballet Theatre’s National Training Curriculum is a program for the development and training of young students that embraces sound ballet principles and incorporates elements of the French, Italian, and Russian schools of training. Under the direction of ABT Artistic Director Kevin McKenzie, ABT’s National Training Curriculum was designed and written by Franco De Vita and Raymond Lukens in collaboration with ABT’s Artistic Advisors and the Medical Advisory Board. “As a national ballet company, ABT understands that it has a responsibility to take a leadership role in dance training and dance education in the United States,” said ABT Executive Director, Rachel Moore. “To this end, we have developed a new ballet curriculum and a teacher training program that is both artistically sound and medically appropriate. Our goal is to provide teachers with the tools and information they need to provide the highest quality training to dance students of all ages and skill levels.” The National Training Curriculum fulfills ABT’s mission as America’s National Ballet Company in bringing dance to the widest possible audience. While several training methods are soundly in place within the United States,

ABT’s National Training Curriculum can be used to enhance an existing syllabus and to assist teachers in working appropriately with young dances. Attendees of the ABT Teacher Training Intensive program have the opportunity to become certified in the National Training Curriculum by successfully passing comprehensive examinations. Harrison’s principal, Dr. Craig Collins, said “the ABT Affiliation is a landmark occasion for Harrison. It is the seal that validates the rigor of our instruction and the caliber of our dancers.” According to Jenna Bitterman, ABT’s National Training Curriculum Manager, Collins said ABT® has 622 Certified Teachers in 47 states and 18 countries. From the Certified Teachers, ABT® has 36 ABT Affiliate Teachers, including Susan Olson. Susi is the first teacher to successfully present students from a public performing arts school. Twenty-six Harrison dancers were adjudicated by ABT®. Susan Olson, ABT Affiliate Teacher, said “This is the culmination of a three-year process in which I received a great deal of empirical and technical information. Throughout the process, it was an opportunity to grow as a teacher, one who is always seeking a better way to reach the potential of my students. I now have a network of teachers throughout the world with which to confer on best practices, as well as Mr. Lukens, Mr. Da Vita, and other instructors associated with the training program. Mr. Raymond Lukens co author of the ABT National Training Curriculum adjudicated our students and gave Master Classes to our entire department. He lit them on fire with a desire to experience dance at a national and international level. It also gave them an opportunity to raise the barre in their expectations and the assurance that their training here is of a very high caliber! The experience instilled a sense of pride, accomplishment, and awe in the students themselves!”

Tuesday Music club of lakeland

A Closer Look at a Scholarship Winner

Since Tuesday Music Club’s May program is centered on our scholarship winners we want to share a closer

look at one of our previous winners, Christopher Kline.

When he attended his first opera, the Imperial Symphony Orchestra’s production of Carmen he was so impressed he made up his mind that he wanted to be an opera singer! A graduate of Harrison School of the Arts, Chris won a scholarship from TMC in 2009. He chose to attend Florida Southern College because he wanted to study under Dr. John Thomasson.

In 2010, Chris was chosen to represent the Tuesday Music Club at the annual Jeanie/Stephen Foster Auditions in White Springs, sponsored by the Florida Federation of Music Clubs. He won the title of Stephen. In 2011, the FFMC sponsored Chris in the National Federation of Music Clubs’ Biennial Student Collegiate Competition, where he won first place as the best collegiate male vocalist in the nation. This year he is a semi-finalist in another NFMC competition, the Orpheus Competition and is awaiting word on a scholarship for a summer opera program entitled Opera in the Ozarks.

He has received numerous awards and has been able to perform in several operas over the past few years. These experiences are drawing him closer to realizing his dream of becoming an international opera singer.

Lakeland audiences recently had opportunities to hear him as Fiorello in The Barber of Seville and as a young artist winner featured in the Imperial Symphony Orchestra’s February concert. The Tuesday Music Club is proud to be a part of helping this outstanding young man be the best that he can be! Congratulations!

Citrus Lakes Barber Shop ChorusHistory and Invitation

Some say it was an accident, some say it was fate. Either way (or perhaps both) the movement we now enjoy

as the Barbershop Harmony Society (aka. Society for The Preservation and Encouragement of Barber Shop Quartet Singing in America (SPEBSQSA) can be credited to a meeting in Tulsa organized by Owen Clifton Cash on April 11, 1938.

Cash was really only interested in getting a few guys together to sing. There was no grand plan, no grand scheme. He and acquaintance Rupert Hall had a chance meeting in Kansas City several weeks before and discussed forming a Song Fest. On his return to Tulsa, Cash drafted an invitation and mailed it to the 14 singers he knew might show up and encouraged them to bring guests.

The invitation read: “Gentlemen, In this age of dictators and government control of everything, about the only privilege guaranteed by the Bill of Rights not in some way supervised and directed, is the art of Barber Shop Quartet singing.”

There is much more to this story and I will hope for the chance to share it with you in future articles but right now there is another objective. One hopes that this story has peaked your interest because we, as always, are seeking male singers who would like to share in this wonderful hobby. Therefore I will repeat the invitation from above:

“Gentlemen, In this age of dictators and government control of everything, about the only privilege guaranteed by the Bill of Rights not in some way supervised and directed, is the art of Barber Shop Quartet singing.”

We meet every Monday evening (except holidays) from 7 to 9:15PM in the Adult Choir Room at the First United Methodist Church, 72 Lake Morton Drive, Lakeland 33801. Parking can be found on the south side of the church off of Vistabula Street. If you have questions you can call Morgan Smith at 863-868-7268.
