Taking the ExitI’ve lived in Central Florida for 20 years and on a monthly basis
I notice places that I’ve never seen before or say, “That’s a cool looking place. I need to stop.” Sometimes it happens, but unfor-tunately when I do find the time to stop, frequently the place is already shuttered. I feel a sense of responsibility that I didn’t visit sooner. So, one day as I was taking a trek to St. Petersburg, I once again saw Dinosaur World. Now, I’ve been wondering about that place for years and on this day I said enough is enough. The T-Rex was calling my name.
Well, who knew! This was quite the find. Did you know that the dinosaurs make noise? There are 150 life-size dinosaurs throughout this park with some spanning 80 feet in length. This creation was the brainchild of a Swedish businessman who moved to Florida and purchased a former alligator farm. All displays are based on the latest scientific discoveries and the ancient reptiles are nestled among native vegetation. And to think I waited 20 years to experience this adventure.
Now, I only mention Dinosaur World as an example because we all know that there are gems in our community that we hear about or drive by every day. Annie Russell Theatre is celebrating its 80th anniversary this year, and I had someone tell me the other day that they have been planning to attend a performance since they moved here in 1984. Well folks, now is the time. The Orlando Philharmonic Orchestra turns 20 this year and continues to grow and offer outstanding programming. The Orlando Repertory Theatre commemorates a decade of offering family entertainment and a training ground for our talented youth. These celebrations are taking place because patrons took the time to enjoy, support and share the story. We need to ensure that candles are added every year.
As the new cultural season begins, remember the wise words of Gandhi, “There is more to life than increasing its speed.” Slow down and take the exit.

It was on the corner of Morse Boule-vard and Park Avenue, in what is
now Penzeys Spices, where a group of settlers met in Ergood Hall to “organize a municipal government and elect officers,” according to the original tran-script dated October 12, 1887, which officially incorporated the Town of Winter Park. (The City of Winter Park would be incorporated in 1925.)
As part of its 125th anniversary cele-bration, a ceremonial town hall meeting will be held in the same building on the same date that the city got its start. Mayor Ken Bradley, Winter Park’s 53rd mayor, will preside.
“It is very exciting,” he says. “I’m so grateful for the many things that have taken place in the past 125 years. You feel the weight of our history and our future, but you also feel the buoyancy of those leaders behind you, and those in front of you.”
Winter Park as it is known today can be traced back to 1881, when two of its founders, Loring Chase and Oliver Chap-man, purchased 600 acres for $13,000. They mapped out a grid system of streets, a 10-acre park next to the railroad tracks, a lakeside resort hotel, and more.
The pair is also responsible for nam-ing—or changing the name of—the city. According to city records, the town was first called Lakeview, but that was changed to Osceola in 1870. Chase and Chapman decided that the area’s trees and lakes reminded them of a park, and since it was already becoming known as a winter retreat for wealthy northerners, they settled on the name Winter Park.
By 1885, according to the Winter Park Historical Association (WPHA), the rail-road was open and Rollins College had been established on Lake Virginia by the New England Congregationalists. The town’s population was now 600. By 1886,
the citrus industry was booming and the town opened The Seminole Hotel—the state’s largest—on five acres separating Lakes Osceola and Virginia. In addition to being incorporated in 1887, the Dinky Line train began running from downtown Orlando to Winter Park, with a round-trip fare of 30 cents.
The town was crippled by the Great Freezes of 1894 to 1895. It was 1923 before the citrus groves returned. That’s when northern businessmen invested heavily in Winter Park, building schools, commercial buildings and subdivisions and bricking the streets. Many of those structures remain today.
Through the years, Winter Park also became known as an arts haven. On the campus of Rollins College, the Cornell Fine Arts Museum has been showcasing exqui-site works of art for more than 100 years, including Madonna and Child Enthroned by Cosimo Rosselli, a Sistine Chapel artist. Founded in 1935, the Bach Festival Society is Central Florida’s oldest operating
performing arts organization. The Charles Hosmer Morse Museum of American Art has been delighting visitors since 1942 with its works by Louis Comfort Tiffany, and of course, the 52-year-old Winter Park Sidewalk Arts Festival has become one of the most prestigious of its kind.
Because October 12 marks such a mile-stone in the history of Winter Park, there will be celebrations throughout the day and for the remainder of 2012. Following the Ergood Hall town meeting, townspeo-ple will reconvene that evening in Central Park for the WPHA Peacock Ball. Other highlights include a presentation titled “What Florida Life Was Like in the 1800s” at Casa Feliz on November 14, and the WPHA Holiday Party celebrating the city’s anniversary on December 13. For a com-plete list of activities, call 407.599.3399 or visit cityofwinterpark.org and click on the 125th Anniversary logo.

Hailing from Edinburgh, Scotland, classical guitar virtuoso Paul Galbraith
employs a radical method of playing that immediately sets him apart. “The key issue for me was that, as a pianist also, I felt the need to bring natural resources of move-ment to bear on guitar technique, just as you inevitably have to do on the piano,” explains the 1998 Grammy nominee, who developed an upright playing technique when he felt the need to free his right arm.
Galbraith tried sitting cross-legged on the floor; however, this posture softened the instrument’s resonance. The solution was to attach a metal endpin to the guitar and rest it on a wooden resonance box to project a rich sound. In order to be able to play the music of Bach in its original versions and Classical and Romantic tran-scriptions, additional lower and higher strings were added. The resulting eight-string guitar has a “warped” fingerboard that allows for the extra octaves.
Galbraith started taking piano lessons at age seven and began group guitar lessons a year later. He juggled both instru-ments as a music student until 1981, when he earned a silver medal at the Segovia International Guitar Competition in England. Galbraith continued his studies at the Royal Northern College of Music, while establishing a solid career as a soloist with such renowned orchestras as the Royal Philharmonic, the BBC Philharmonic and the Chamber Orchestra of Europe.
“I was surprised to discover with what relish I returned to my guitar playing,” reveals Galbraith. “I realized that the old adage is true: it’s the instrument that chooses you, not the other way around.”
He comes to Central Florida to per-form with the Bach Festival Society of Winter Park on October 11. Galbraith will play a transcription from the Hindemith Harp Sonata. “It’s been a tremendous discovery for me and gives us a valuable addition to our modern guitar repertoire. It’s a very inviting piece to listen to,” he explains. He will also perform a Bach Suite and Spanish music.
The concert will start at 8 p.m. at Rollins College’s Tiedtke Hall. For more information, call 407.646.2182 or visit bachfestivalflorida.org. —Esteban Meneses
Reinventing His Craft

Veteran AffairsANITRA PRITCHARD, actor
There are characters you love. There are characters you hate. And then
there’s Eunice.“You love to hate her, and then you
hate that you wind up loving her,” laughs Anitra Pritchard, the local actor who’s taken on the role of a human resources (HR) flack in The Exit Interview, opening at the Orlando Shakespeare Theater in September.
This dark comedy is the tale of a pink-slipped university professor attending a required exit interview with Eunice, the very model of a model HR employee. What should be a mundane meeting quickly becomes surreal, thanks to a gunman roaming the campus (one reason why the play is intended for mature audiences), and ultimately very thought-provoking.
“The piece hits everything an actor would want to do, all in one show,” Pritchard says. “You’ve got tragedy, you’ve got comedy. You’ve got commer-
cials appearing in the middle of the show. It’s all very random.”
Eunice, however, is more real than random—sometimes annoyingly so, Pritchard notes. Which makes this a different type of role for this 20-year vet-eran of Central Florida’s theater scene, and show director at Universal Orlando.
“I typically play very slapstick,” she says. Case in point: At the Orlando Fringe Festival, she once played all of the female roles in a musical version of the film Jaws, including the shark. “The characters surrounding Eunice are the weird, wacky, fun characters,” Pritchard says. “She’s the very dramatic part of the show.” She adds, “I play her very close to myself, and as an actor, that’s the hardest person to play.”
The fall production technically marks Pritchard’s second run as Eunice. Last year she took part in a reading of The Exit Interview, from which Playwright William Missouri Downs
used feedback to modify his latest work for the stage.
“It’s great to be able to breathe life into new characters,” Pritchard says. “I’m excited that the Orlando Shakespeare saw this little, tiny show that could, and wanted to bring it to the full stage for Orlando audiences. To see it in its entirety will be very exciting.”
The Exit Interview runs from September 27 to October 21. For more information, call 407.447.1700 or log onto orlandoshakes.org. —Michael Haun
Drawing LessonsJOHN ROCCO, illustrator
John Rocco spent his childhood in Barrington, Rhode Island, where he
started working on shellfishing boats when he was 11. “I grew up on the sea,” he says. He also loved movies and books, and even drew the characters from the animated film The Hobbit on his window shades. Rocco went to college intending to become an engineer, but was intrigued by his roommate’s job as a freelance illustrator.
“I thought it was the coolest job anyone could have,” he says. After drawing seri-ously for just three weeks, Rocco was accepted to the Rhode Island School of Design and knew he’d found his calling.
In 1992, Rocco illustrated the picture book Alice, which was written by Whoopi Goldberg. He worked for 14 years as a creative director, designing attractions for Disney Imagineering and serving as the art director for DisneyQuest. He was also the pre-production art director for Dream-works’ Shrek.
In 2004, Rocco went back to creating children’s books. He wrote and illustrated Wolf! Wolf!—a twist on the story “The Boy Who Cried Wolf”—which was published in 2005. Since then he has written several other acclaimed children’s books, includ-ing Blackout, about the New York City power outage of 2003. Rocco is well-known for his covers of Rick Riordan’s
Percy Jackson and the Olympians series. “You meet your heroes and work with them. There’s nothing better than that,” he says of his collaborations.
His work is currently being showcased at the Orlando Museum of Art in From Alice to Zeus: The Art of John Rocco. At the exhibition’s opening, Rocco spoke about his process, from the first sketch to the final work of art. “I hope [the exhibition] shows young artists who want to get into this sort of thing that the first thing I draw isn’t anything special.” He explains that his work is “constantly in flux,” and that he is always trying to figure out “how can I make this page just a little bit better?”
Visitors can meet the artist in person on September 29 at a special seminar and book signing at 1 p.m. From Alice to Zeus will be on display until October 28. For more information, call 407.896.4231 or visit omart.org. —Julia Tilford

John Wonner has always been curious about how things work.
As a child, he taught himself photog-raphy on a Kodak box camera. Later, his inquisitiveness propelled him up the company ladder at Youngstown Kitchens, where one of his duties was taking photos of projects that the company bid on. “I wanted to learn everything,” he says.
Eventually, he learned so much about construction that he called himself “an engineer without a degree.” So in June 2011 when work started on a major building project across the street from his apartment, Wonner, now 93, was fascinated. As the Dr. Phillips Center for the Per-forming Arts (DPC) has risen from the ground, Wonner has become its official photographer/videographer. “John has become part of the Dr. Phillips Center’s family,” says DPC President Kathy Ramsberger. “He is the definition of ‘arts for every life’ and a constant reminder that this project is so vital to the community because it touches lives in so many different ways.”
If workers are on site, Wonner is probably pointing a camera at them, sometimes from the ninth floor of his apartment building, Magnolia Towers, and other days from the current DPC offices. So far, he’s taken between 800 and 1,000 photos, which will become part of the build-ing’s permanent archive.
Walls will be going up soon, how-ever, which will preclude some of Wonner’s activities. But he’s still curious and wants to stay involved. “I’m interested in seeing the electri-cal wiring,” he says excitedly. “I hope to be allowed in to see how they do that.” —G.K. Sharman

Authoritative AuthorSUSAN SULLY, author and architectural historian
Spanish architecture, with its curves and arches, painted tile, terra cotta roofs,
and ornamental ironwork, can be found throughout Florida. This is thanks, in part, to wealthy northerners who revived the style in the late 19th and early 20th centu-ries when they traveled to the Sunshine State to build vacation homes. A century later, this timeless architectural style still prevails, not only in painstakingly restored historic homes, but also in contemporary builds in places such as Winter Park.
“Spanish-style architecture is perfectly suited for the Florida climate. Large open French doors, lots of windows and high ceilings made it function really well in the days before air conditioning,” says Susan Sully, the author of Casa Florida: Spanish- Style Houses from Winter Park to Coral Gables and an upcoming speaker in the Parlor Series at Casa Feliz.
Sully is an architectural historian, but also calls herself an architectural medium. “I like to walk into a building and channel its story. Architecture tells stories, not only about the history of a place, but about people,” she says.
Sully tells the stories of 18 notable Florida homes, including two in Winter Park, in Casa Florida. An art history gradu-ate of Yale University, Sully says she loves the style’s fancifulness. “There is a spirit of whimsy in it. They are talkative homes; they are gregarious. You just want to be inside of them,” she says.
In connection with Hispanic Heritage Month, Sully will speak at Casa Feliz on October 3 at 5:30 p.m. and on October 4 at 10:30 a.m. “We’re thrilled to add Susan to our Parlor Series,” says Executive Director Betsy Owens. “She’s not only an authority on Southern architecture and interiors, she’s a dynamic speaker as well.”
Sully will be covering hallmarks of this design, the use of new materials, the root of the style and its most modern-day expres-sion. “I’ll also be discussing the importance of preservation, as well as demonstrating that these houses continue to function.” Reservations for both events will be available beginning September 4 by calling Casa Feliz at 407.463.0256. Tickets are $15 each and include refreshments.

Bug ManSTEVE E. PARADIS, author
Author Steven E. Paradis likes to sum up his interest in antlions in three
alliterative words: “Antlions are awesome.” After spending years learning all he could about the tiny insects, which are also known as doodlebugs, Paradis decided to pen a book about them. His novel for young readers, M.J. and the Antlion, may be a work of fiction, but the book contains plenty of facts and information about these little-known creatures.
Paradis’ fascination with antlions began in high school, after he moved from Upstate New York to Central Florida. He first en-countered them when his girlfriend, Teresa (now his wife), showed him the antlions’ distinctive cone-shaped mounds in her backyard. Antlions create these mounds to trap ants, which they then devour.
Intrigued, Paradis started keeping ant-lions temporarily in sand-filled containers so he could study how they created their
ant traps; he’d even catch ants himself to put in the containers for the antlions to eat. It’s an interest that has persisted through-out his adult life, and he wrote this book to share the knowledge he’s gained with young readers. “A lot of young people today spend a lot of time inside, and I don’t want to denigrate that, but there are so many things outside to see,” he says. “And antlions are easy to miss.”
Paradis will also be bringing his antlion information to the Orlando Science Center
(OSC) on October 6 and 13 as part of Creepy Crawly Science Month. He will read from his book and show off a few of his antlion friends at 1 p.m., 2 p.m. and 3 p.m. in Natureworks.
When he’s not studying antlions and other Florida fauna, Paradis, a former award-winning journalist who once helmed the Sanford Herald, works as a book editor. He hopes that M.J. and the Antlion will increase awareness of these small, but important, Central Florida residents, and plans to take his story to schools, parks and nature education centers. But he’s not stopping there: M.J. and the Antlion is the first in Paradis’ “My Florida Backyard” series, which will include books about Sherman’s fox squir-rel, the ivory-billed woodpecker and the Florida black bear. “Everybody in Florida should know about the unique creatures who live here,” says Paradis. “That’s what this series is all about.”

Is food art? Well, general consen-sus says it certainly can be. It
really depends on the food in ques-tion, and how you interpret art. Nonetheless, Orlando is becoming known for its artistic vision and its culinary scope. Of course, the fall brings the start of Central Florida’s cultural season, and a nearly end-less calendar of events that includes the 10th Annual Global Peace Film Festival, as well as the 39th Annual Winter Park Autumn Art Festival. There’s also something for foodies—Visit Orlando’s Magical Dining Month.
Now in its seventh year, Magical Dining Month has evolved from lofty ambitions to reach “classic” status among locals and visitors. From September 1 to 30, Orlando’s best restaurants will feature a spe-cial dinner menu with three-course meals for $30. And you can feel good about indulging in the festivi-ties—one dollar from each meal sold will be donated to the Edge-wood Children’s Ranch. Go to OrlandoMagicalDining.com to view the list of participating restaurants.
Speaking of fine foods, Visit Orlando recently unveiled a national advertising campaign that aims to change perceptions among senior executives about Orlando’s dining
and entertainment options. The ads describe six area dining districts, each with a distinct personality. OrlandoDistricts.com was launched as part of the campaign. This special-ized website includes information on the restaurants and entertainment venues located in each district and videos of local award-winning chefs, as well as a blog. While designed to entice visitors, the site also appeals directly to residents with its insider approach and unique content.
Whether experiencing the ballet, a classical music performance, a film festival or an evening of incred-ible dining, Central Florida has plenty of exciting options this fall. Now go out and have fun feasting at some of Orlando’s finest restau-rants. Then you’ll be able to answer the question at the beginning of this column for yourself.

Beginning October 27, the Polk Museum of Art will be hosting its first exhibition from
the Smithsonian’s National Portrait Gallery. In Vibrant Color: Vintage Celebrity Portraits from the Harry Warnecke Studio consists of color photographs of celebrities who rose to fame at a time when color photography was in its infancy. This exhibition features 24 images from the 1930s and 1940s of such greats as actors Lucille Ball and Roy Rogers, trumpeter Louis Armstrong, baseball star Ted Williams and General George S. Patton.
In the 1930s, Warnecke, a pioneering photographer at the New York Daily News, designed a one-shot camera that yielded color images for the newspaper’s Sunday Magazine. Over the next 30 years, he photographed hundreds of Hollywood icons, sports heroes and military and government leaders in a specially designed studio. The exhibition will be on view through January 12, 2013. For more information, call 863.688.7743 or visit PolkMuseumofArt.org.

Patrons will get a little something extra when Theatre UCF presents the musical Side Show this fall. The love story
is based on the real lives of conjoined twins Violet and Daisy Hilton, who became famous sideshow freaks. As it has done with some productions in the past, Theatre UCF will present a spe-cial exhibit in the lobby in conjunction with the show. Items on display will include hand-painted costume renderings by faculty member and costume designer Huaixiang Tan. The design of the twins wearing bird costumes will be blown up onto a standup photo board with cut-out faces, so patrons can pose for fun photos. In addition, advanced painting students at UCF’s School of Visual Arts and Design will be creating circus-themed works to include in the exhibit. Side Show runs from October 25 to 28 and from November 1 to 4. For tickets or more information, call 407.823.1500 or visit theatre.ucf.edu.

The Art & History Museums—Maitland (A&HM—M) will hold
its 14th annual “Evening in the Grove” fundraising gala on Saturday, October 13, at the Sheraton Orlando North Hotel in Maitland. Each year, it honors an individual, family or business that has made a significant impact on Central Florida history. The 2012 honoree is the Orlando Magic, for their dedication to being champions both on and off the court. The event begins at 6 p.m. with a VIP reception and continues with a silent auction and cocktail reception. The evening culminates with a gourmet dinner, tribute and live auction. The auctions feature diverse items, includ-ing tickets to area attractions, trips, sporting tickets and apparel, restaurant gift certificates, golf outings and unique experiences. Artwork and handcrafted jewelry, as well as passes to area cultural institutions, will also be up for bid.
Tickets are $75; $70 for A&HM—M members; corporate tables of 10 are avail-able for $1,000 each and sponsorships are available and have benefits, including tickets to the private VIP reception with representatives from the Orlando Magic. Proceeds benefit A&HM—M’s educa-tional art and history programming. For tickets and sponsorship information, call Devin Dominguez at 407.539.2181 x262 or visit ArtandHistory.org.
Central Florida welcomes two new leaders at area cultural venues. Mark Hough, executive director of the Orlando Ballet, joined the company in
April 2012. Prior to that, he served as executive director of the Wellfleet Harbor Actors Theater in Wellfleet, Mass., and president of Hough and Associates, a consulting business serving nonprofit organizations. Hough has more than 20 years of experience in not-for-profit management, pro-ducing, presenting and fund development. His work experience includes serving as president and CEO of the State Theatre in New Brunswick, New Jersey, working as the chief development officer at the Whitney Museum of American Art, and as the director of development at Manhattan Theatre Club. He was also the director of development operations for American Ballet Theatre. Hough has a B.F.A. in theater from the University of North Carolina School of the Arts.
Also, Ena Heller has been named the Bruce A. Beal director of the Cornell Fine Arts Museum, beginning September 4. She most recently served as founding director of the Museum of Biblical Art in New York City and holds an M.A. and a Ph.D. in art history from the Institute of Fine Arts at New York University. Heller also has teaching experience, and says that the position combines her passions for museums and education. “The fact that it’s an academic art museum really appealed to me. It’s something I had hoped to move into because it marries my two loves,” she says.
Fresh Faces
Join the Seminole Cultural Arts Council (SCAC) on October 27 for its signature fundraiser, Hoooowl for the Arts. Now in its
sixth year, the popular event includes live and silent auctions, casino-style gaming tables, a gourmet dinner, live entertainment, raffles and prizes.

The Dr. Phillips Center team is aggres-sively working to realize the 1,700-
seat multi-form acoustical theater which will be the new performance space for the Orlando Ballet and the Orlando Philhar-monic Orchestra.
Board members, donors, elected officials and arts group executives recently came together to celebrate the beginning of the demolition of the structure located on the future site of the theater.
At the event, a colorful, oversized ban-ner served as a backdrop, bearing the Center’s new mantra: Committed to the Project. Committed to the Partnership. Committed to Completion.
This underscored the team’s announce-ment of a $75 million fundraising goal to complete the entire project. Mayor Dyer announced a financial commitment from the city for any additional funding needed once the goal is achieved, along with a revised city-county agreement, which will flow an additional estimated $8.5 million to the Center.
According to the Community Founda-tion of Central Florida, this region has a giving capacity of $4.5 billion. This is good
news for Center executives, who are in the process of expanding their philanthropy department as part of their strategic fund-raising plan.
“This project has always been about a bold vision for our community,” says Dr. Phillips Center President Kathy Ramsber-ger. “It was a bold move to raise $94 million during our nation’s most challenging eco-nomic times and to later close a $16 million
funding gap in order to break ground. It’s also a bold move to forge ahead, but we are committed to getting it done.”
She concludes, “Our donors and poten-tial donors want assurances that the multi-form acoustical theater will be built as soon as possible. We can now give them that assurance. We look forward to welcoming the Ballet and the Philharmonic to their new theater.”

This fall, Central Floridians can once again get in the spirit of the season by attending Phantasmagoria III, a one-of-a-kind production that features
a unique blend of Victorian-era storytelling, dance, music and puppetry. Presented by The Empty Spaces Theatre Co(llaboration) and DiDonna pro-ductions, the show is now in its third year.
The theme for 2012 is “Something Truly Wicked This Way Comes,” and patrons can expect seven new stories as actors and puppets bring favorite works of macabre literature to life. There will also be seven dance numbers and lots of original music, some of which will be performed live. With a cast and crew of more than 40 people who begin rehearsing months in advance, Phantasmagoria III is not to be missed——especially because there are some surprises in store this year, including a new venue within the Lowndes Shakespeare Center.
Performances will take place October 11 to 31 and start at 8:30 p.m. Tickets are $20, $15 for students and seniors, and can be purchased beginning mid-September by calling 407.328.9005 or visiting redchairproject.com.K

Getting to know the Central Florida community has been a whirlwind!
Over the past month, I’ve met with a cross section of our community and plan on continuing to meet and visit until I make all the rounds.
I am listening and keeping track of run-ning themes. One area of concern is the lack of endowments—this is unusual for a community of Central Florida’s size and sophistication. Further, most cultural orga-nizations do not have aspirations of raising endowments. Their goals are instead to establish 3- to 6-month cash reserves. This suggests that our cornerstone institutions are living very close to the edge. While able to produce impressive programming, they are unable to focus on long-term stability. This is an issue worthy of serious thought and discussion among our philanthropic community.
In addition, many of our cultural facili-ties are in disrepair and need major upgrades; groups are struggling to raise the necessary funds to keep the buildings in proper condition for the best patron expe-rience. And some groups have outgrown the size of their spaces and are in the pro-cess of planning capital campaigns, despite the challenges of raising capital funds in this economy.
As I meet with donors, diverging points of view raise a key question. Who is United Arts’ (UA) ultimate constituent, given that we receive both public and private-sector funds? A board retreat is planned for early September, when a number of these policy issues will be addressed.
We are already moving forward in key operations. I’ve convened two task forces,
Grants and Marketing. The Grants Task Force will be led by UA Board Member and Chair of the Standards & Allocations Com-mittee Martha A. Hartley, an attorney with Baker Donelson. Its goal will be to address funding policies to ensure fairness and equity, and to tie funding to review criteria. In addition, it will work to streamline the grants review process while maintaining accountability.
The Marketing Task Force is being chaired by UA Board Member Jill Estorino, senior vice president, domestic parks mar-keting strategy at The Walt Disney World Resort. This group will assess the purpose and effectiveness of our marketing efforts and both define and stratify our donor base as well as messaging. Its work and resulting analysis will inform our new marketing and fundraising plans.
FLORA MARIA GARCIA, president & CEO of United Arts of Central Florida
To that end, I have hired a dynamic and experienced Director of Development, Denise C. Bealin. She most recently hails from Washington D.C., where she worked as a fundraising consultant following several years at George Washington’s Mount Vernon Estate—but Denise has strong personal and family ties throughout Central Florida. And her work experience includes ten years in marketing with The Walt Disney Company. Denise brings a wealth of expertise to UA and has already created a framework for an invigorated fundraising plan. Denise and I are thrilled to welcome Scott Bowman, vice president of client relations for Sara Brady Public Relations, as Chair of the Development Committee. Like Denise, Scott has exten-sive marketing as well as fundraising experience—he previously worked for the Orlando Magic and with United Way. With his help and connections within the community, we are building a strong Development Committee that will be an effective partner in our fundraising strate-gies and execution.
I am energized and excited by the group of volunteers and staff we have focused on fundraising, marketing, evalua-tion and planning, and who are ready to hit the ground running for a successful year!

ORLANDO SCIENCE CENTER WELCOMES A BLOCKBUSTER EXHIBITION THAT COMBINES POP CULTURE AND REAL SCIENCE.
BY JESSICA CHAPMAN
Where Fiction Meets Fact
From sophisticated robots to hover-crafts, George Lucas showcased a
fast-paced, high-tech world in his Star Wars films, and one that, as it turns out, may not be too far out of reach. Now, a blockbuster exhibition that explores the real science behind the technology depicted in the films is making its first Florida stop at the Orlando Science Center (OSC).
The largest exhibit that OSC has hosted since Bodies was there in the 2006-2007 season, the nationally touring Star Wars: Where Science Meets Imagination opens on October 13. It’s taken months of planning and work to prepare for the 10,000-square-foot exhibition, which fea-tures costumes, models and props from all six films, as well as extensive video interviews with filmmakers, scientists and engineers. It also has hands-on compo-nents, such as engineering design labs, where visitors can build and test their own speeders and robots. “For a fan, it’s ‘nerdvana’,” says Jeff Stanford, OSC’s vice president of development.
OSC is known for offering fun, educa-tional programming that appeals to a variety of ages, but Star Wars, which has been drawing record-breaking crowds, is going to take that to a whole other level. “It’s amazing, the multi-generational impact of Star Wars,” says Stanford, “It is an enduring legacy and every generation owns a piece of it. This is an opportunity to bring them all together.”
Developed by the Museum of Science, Boston, in collaboration with Lucasfilm Ltd. and presented by Bose Corporation, Star Wars explores everything from trans-portation to robots to environmental issues, and includes modern research that may someday lead to real-life versions of the technologies seen in the film series. While most exhibits built around films have focused on the art and process of the actual filmmaking, Star Wars delves much deeper.

ROBOTS PLAY A LARGE ROLE both in the Star Wars films and in the exhibition, where guests can see some of their favorites from the series, as well as build their own.
“It’s a science exhibition through and through,” says Stanford. “It shows how Star Wars science has impacted real sci-ence, and how science fiction can inspire science fact. It’s going to be a big experi-ence—in terms of its presence, and in terms of its impact on science.”
Transportation is a big component in the films, and thus, in the exhibition. Highlights include Luke Skywalker’s Landspeeder and a flight simulator that’s a full-size replica of the cockpit of the

A YODA PUPPET is just one of the numerous props that will be on display, which include costumes and props from all six films.
THE EXHIBITION INCLUDES plenty of hands-on activities and also touches on the effects of technology on the environment.
Millennium Falcon. Inside, a multimedia presentation narrated by actor Anthony Daniels (who played C-3PO) explores what we know about our own galaxy. Special effects give the illusion of rocket-ing through space.
The multistation Maglev (magnetic levitation) Engineering Design Lab allows visitors to design and build their own floating cars, while learning about mag-nets and magnetic levitation. They move through three stations, assembling and testing speeders and then using electro-magnets to propel their creations.
Guests will also enjoy the interactive air chair, where they can try their hand at steering a hovercraft. In addition, there are scale models of a wide variety of craft from all of the films, including X- and Y-wing Fighters, Imperial TIE Fighters, Podracers and Queen Amidala’s Regal Nubian Starship. Many are accompanied by video displays with film footage and interviews.
As for the real-world connection, a display case featuring artifacts related to
today’s aircraft is also on view. It includes a Daedalus model and designs for ion engines, antimatter drives and nuclear engines that are actual propulsion mecha-nisms under consideration today for use in spacecraft.
Stanford says, “The exhibition uses significant artifacts from Star Wars to get people excited about science, technology, engineering and math.” It’s a natural fit for OSC, which seeks to influence the next generation of scientists and engineers with innovative programming. “We want to inspire, encourage curiosity, engage kids,” says Stanford. “We want our young people to be excited about technological innovations.”
Robotics is another main theme for the exhibition. Guests meet C-3PO and R2-D2 and explore how people relate to the droids in Star Wars. At the Engineer-ing Design Lab, they can create their very own robot and program it to navigate through a course. The area also includes examples of modern-day robots that are currently in use and that sense the world
around them, such as the dinosaur-like Troody and a floor-vacuuming Roomba.
Those who like props will enjoy the Yoda puppet, several lightsabers and a collection of costumes that includes those of Darth Vadar, Princess Leia, Obi-Wan Kenobi, Han Solo, Chewbacca, and more.
To see some great replicas up close, be sure to visit on opening day when mem-bers from the Star Wars costume club, the 501st Imperial Legion, will be on hand. Dubbed “the world’s definitive imperial costuming organization,” the group is known for having the most authentic Star Wars costume replicas and is even used by Lucasfilms at some of its events.
Star Wars the exhibition will be on view at OSC through April 7. Admission is $27 for adults and $20 for kids ages 3 to 11. Tickets include access to all four floors of exhibits, giant-screen films and live presentations. For more information, call 407.514.2000 or visit osc.org.

Housed at both Crealdé’s main campus and the Hannibal Square Heritage Center, the 62-piece exhibition will include tradi-tional artworks, such as sequin flags, sculptures and folk paintings, from the University of Central Florida’s Bryant West Indies Collection and the collection of Butler H. Smith, Jr. and Betty Ford-Smith. It will also showcase work by world-renowned contemporary artists— including Edouard Duval Carrié, Frantz Charlemagne, Jude Papaloko Thegenius and Jerome Soimaud—as well as tradi-tional paintings by Louverture Poisson, Jerome Polycarpe and Nesly-Exumé.
As an additional component, photog-raphy by Haitian and Haitian-American teens who live in Orlando’s historic Parramore neighborhood will be on dis-play. These works were created through Crealdé’s Storytellers XV, an outreach pro-gram hosted in partnership with the New Image Youth Center and funded by the Orlando Magic Youth Foundation. The goal of the program is to use documentary photography to teach students to explore and express their cultural heritage.
To both Sinn and da Silva, one of the most exciting aspects of the show, which has been more than two years in the mak-ing, is the family focus groups. Ten local, multigenerational families will engage in dialogues about what it means to be Haitian, including everything from elders’ memories of the nation to how living in the U.S. changes their identities. Dis-cussions will address intergenerational gaps in the cultural experience which have occurred between Haitians and Haitian-Americans, and will include the universal themes of hope, love, despair, fear, myth,
continuity and change as they focus on Haitian culture. Quotes from the families will be incorporated into the exhibition in both Haitian Creole and English.
The week before the opening, a Haitian “Tap Tap” bus will be driven from Miami to Winter Park to become part of the exhi-bition. A local Haitian artist will outline a design on the bus, which will be painted by members of the community.
On September 14, opening receptions for Keeping Haiti In Our Hearts will take place from 7 to 8:30 p.m. at Crealdé; and from 8:30 to 10 p.m. at the Heritage Center, where there will be a Haitian musical performance. Special program-ming, including interactive forums and panel discussions, were being planned at press time.
The exhibition is funded through a tourist development grant from Orange County and presented with support from the Haitian Cultural Arts Alliance, Epple Seed Arts, Lobey Art & Travel, the Haitian Consulate of Orlando and the Haitian American Chamber of Commerce.

W ith more than 1,100 members, the Florida Watercolor Society (FWS) is one of the largest state-based watercolor societies in the United
States. Since 1972, it has held an annual conference and juried competition to celebrate its members and their work. This year, its 41st anniversary exhibi-tion will be held at The Mennello Museum of American Art, where 100 of the best works by artists from Florida and around the country will be on display through November 25.
A prominent watermedia expert is always asked to judge the show. This year’s juror is internationally renowned watercolorist Nicholas Simmons, who made his selections from 644 entries that were submitted by 387 artists. There are 19 pieces by Central Florida artists, including Donne Bitner, Mike Malloy, Kim Minichiello and Bill James. The exhibition is one of the highlights of the society’s yearly convention, which draws members from around the state and which will take place September 13 to 16 in Orlando. Simmons and artist Soon Y. Warren will be on hand to hold workshops September 10 to 13.

The desert has challenged and fasci-nated people since the beginning of
time, and was of particular interest to the Orientalist painters of the late 19th century. A friend and business partner of Louis Comfort Tiffany, Lockwood de Forest (1850–1932) was a successful Orientalist painter, as well as an import-er and decorator.
Now, the Charles Hosmer Morse Museum of American Art is spotlighting de Forest and his important work, The Wreck. A recent bequest from the estate of Lisa de Forest, the artist’s great-grand-daughter, the painting has undergone major conservation. In it, a large Saharan
landscape depicts five Bedouins riding their camels across a distant horizon at dawn. In the foreground are the skeletal remains of a camel—the wreck of the painting’s title.
This special Focus Exhibition will be accompanied by several de Forest oil studies of other desert scenes, illustrat-ing his keen interest in that particular landscape. Also included will be explan-atory wall panels designed to help the viewer develop a full appreciation of this powerful painting, explaining the desert as a subject, as well as its symbol-ism. The exhibition will be on view through 2013.

THIS FALL, THE MAITLAND ART CENTER FOCUSES ON CREATIVE COUPLES.
Art & History Museums—Maitland (A&HM—M) showcases some of Central Florida’s most renowned visual artist couples this fall when it presents The Power
of Two on September 28 at the Maitland Art Center. This group exhibition will feature works in a variety of media by Martha Lent and Larry Moore; Theresa and Joe Segal; and Anna McCambridge-Thomas and Marabou Thomas.
Conceptualized by Executive Director and CEO Andrea Bailey Cox, the exhibition explores what it’s like for two creative minds to live and work side by side. Are the art-ists influenced by their partner’s works? Do they create collaboratively or individually?
“I grew up in a family of artists,” says Cox. “It’s still that way—my husband is a com-poser and I’m a painter. I have always been intrigued on how creativity flows through families and relationships. Creativity can be both calming and explosive. I wanted to explore how two creative people living under the same roof work together; and how it affects their individual works.”
Central Florida audiences may be familiar with two of the couples, however, Cox wanted to include works by artists to which locals may not yet be exposed. Photographer Theresa Segal and sculptor Joe Segal are from St. Augustine and promise to enrich the exhibition with their thoughtful works. The Power of Two will run through December 30.

Back in the early 1990s, dire predic-tions about the future of symphonic
music in Central Florida abounded when the Florida Symphony declared bank-ruptcy after nearly a half-century. Things looked pretty bleak until 1993, the year the Orlando Philharmonic Orchestra (OPO) was founded. Twenty years later, the future looks brighter than ever as “the Phil” celebrates two decades of success, all of it in the black. It’s a rare achievement for any arts organization, says Executive Director David Schillhammer.
“Twenty years is relatively young for an orchestra, but we’ve had 20 great years,” he says. “This anniversary is a significant milestone, not only for the orchestra, but also for the community.”
The Phil’s 2012-2013 season will celebrate the 20th anniversary with the classical “Super Series,” which kicks off with a dinner gala at the Sheraton Orlando Downtown Hotel on September 29, fol-lowed by a program featuring Gustav Mahler’s Third Symphony at the Bob Carr Performing Arts Centre. The rest of the series’ concerts include appearances by notable musicians and singers, and the
Phil will collaborate with Orlando Shakespeare Theater for an adapted per-formance of A Midsummer Night’s Dream.
And the anniversary events don’t stop there: the orchestra’s 2012-2013 Pops season opens with “Wicked Divas,” a
concert featuring Alli Mauzey and Nicole Parker, the Broadway stars of Wicked. Rounding out the Pops series are “Home for the Holidays,” conducted by audience favorite Albert-George Schram; “My Funny Valentine,” featuring Michael Andrew & Swingerhead; and “Cirque de la Symphonie,” a concert of classical excerpts accompanied by aerialists, strongmen and other circus performers. The Pops series will conclude with the fully staged musical How to Succeed in Business Without Really Trying, sponsored by Harriett Lake and directed by Frank McClain. The Phil will also present two operas this season: Mozart’s The Marriage of Figaro and Giacomo Puccini’s Madama Butterfly. Call 407.770.0071 or log onto orlandophil.org for details.
Double the Fun
The Phil is also lending its tuneful con-tributions to the Orlando Repertory Theatre in Partnership with UCF (The REP). The REP, which also saw some troubled times before its current incarna-tion, is celebrating ten successful years, which Artistic Director Jeff Revels is

calling the theater’s “10th Birthday.” The REP and the Phil are teaming up for a double celebration on October 20 (the selection of the 20th day of the 10th month was no coincidence) with the “Star Spangled Birthday Concert,” an extrava-ganza at Loch Haven Park. The free event will include patriotic music, special per-formances and plenty of fun, and families are encouraged to bring a picnic and enjoy the celebration.
And Revels, who started there in 1995 as a freshly minted college grad when it was still the Central Florida Civic Theatre, says there’s plenty to celebrate at The REP, whose roots stretch back to 1926. Financial difficulties, a building that needed renovations and an identity crisis shuttered the Civic and led to the creation of The REP in 2002, and Revels asserts that the best is yet to come. “There’s a sense of history here; you also get a sense that there’s history in the making and history still to come here,” he says. “We’re constantly evolving, and there’s some-thing new happening all the time.”
What’s new for the theater’s 10th anniversary are productions that feature princesses, parrots and presidents, kick-ing off with the musical The Paper Bag Princess on September 6, followed by lots of other kid- and family-friendly fare. The season wraps with The Adventures of Tom Sawyer TYA (Theater for Young Audiences), which runs through May 26, 2013. And what’s a birthday party without a little extra frosting? The season will also include a pair of special limited engagements by magician and comedian Tony Brent in January. Call 407.896.7365 or go to orlandorep.org to learn more.
80 Years of Excellence
Ten and 20 years are impressive anni-versaries, but 80 years is monumental: Annie Russell Theatre at Rollins College is celebrating eight decades of perform- ances. “Annie Russell was a pioneer in her day,” says Olivia Haine, marketing and communications coordinator and box office manager. “She struggled with not having great roles written for women.”
Annie Russell never did find the perfect role, “but she really paved the way to the strong female roles we have now,” says Haine. “Eighty years later, a lot of progress has been made, and we wanted to celebrate strong female roles and playwrights.”
The theater’s 80th anniversary season opens with The Miss Firecracker Contest on September 21 and concludes with She Stoops to Conquer in April 2013. The Drowsy Chaperone and Anna in the Tropics round out the season. Each production will feature opening-night receptions, where patrons can mingle with the cast, crew and department faculty. For more information, call 407.646.2145 or go to rollins.edu/annierussell.
A Dramatic Decade
Celebrating 10 years in the business, Winter Park Playhouse has come a long way from its early days, when shows were held at a performing arts school on a tiny stage with the audience seated on 73 metal folding chairs. “This anniversary represents a turning point for the Playhouse,” says Executive Director Heather Alexander.
“With ten years under our belts, we have a proven track record, both artistically and fiscally. We’ve stayed true to our mission of producing professional musicals, cabarets and outreach programs that uplift, inspire and entertain Central Florida residents and visitors, and it seems to be working.”
The Playhouse’s anniversary lineup continues through May 13, 2013 and sea-son-subscriber ticket prices have been rolled back to what they were a decade ago. All performances will be held in its theater in Winter Park, which opened in 2009. Call 407.645.0145 or visit winter parkplayhouse.org for more information.
Central Florida’s performing arts are thriving, and that’s definitely something to celebrate.

HistoryThe Orange County Regional History Center offers something for visitors of all
ages when it presents Peanuts … Naturally from September 29 to December 31. Created by the Charles M. Schulz Museum in Santa Rosa, CA, the exhibition uses the artist’s beloved characters, including Charlie Brown, Lucy, Snoopy and Woodstock, to explore the “web of life” and various aspects of nature, from birds and trees to the elements and the universe, as well as gardening and recycling.
Schulz, who created the Peanuts comic strip and produced it for nearly 50 years, was an avid reader, and many interesting facts found their way into his work. More than 65 Peanuts cartoons will be on display, with selections that illustrate his characters’ quirky understanding of the world and what effect their choices have on the environment. The exhibition also will feature interactive, hands-on activities, such as a bracelet-making project relating to the water cycle, a “name that bird” game, and a “reduce, reuse, compost” magnet board for sort-ing various household objects. In addition, several related special events will be held throughout the fall, including a dog fair in partnership with the SPCA and an EcoCamp-In overnight adventure.

Science & NatureOn September 1, the Central Florida
Zoo & Botanical Gardens will officially open its brand new North American River Otter exhibit. The state-of-the-art environment will be home to a pair of the playful animals—which happen to be native to Central Florida—and will feature a waterfall and pond where zoo guests can watch the otters swim and play. This addition was made possible by sponsors Sean and Nina Barth, who were inspired by the otter exhibit at the Monterrey Bay Aquarium. This is the first major exhib-it the zoo has opened in ten years, and it anticipates that it will become a fast favorite for visitors of all ages.

A fter years of planning and hard work by numerous community entities, Mad Cow Theatre will open its 2012-13 season in a brand-new venue at 54 West
Church Street in Downtown Orlando. Executive Director Mitzi Maxwell says, “It’s certainly taken a village and we
have a lot of people to thank.” That includes the theater’s patrons, the City of Orlando, 55 West, Orange County, Holland and Knight law firm, architectural firm L2 Studios and Harriett Lake, after which the larger of the two theaters in the new space is named. “This is a wonderful example of what businesses can do to support quality of life here in Orlando. When local businesses step up to the plate and support the arts and arts groups, it points the way to a bigger, brighter future for our community.”
The venue is the first completely new performing arts space that’s been created since Loch Haven Park, and Mad Cow will christen it by opening on October 6 with Stephen Sondheim’s award-winning Sunday in the Park with George. “It couldn’t be a better choice,” says Maxwell. “It’s about creativity and the creative process. It’s a magnificent, magnificent piece that spans two different time periods and is beloved in the theater community throughout the world.”
For tickets or more information, call 407.297.8788 or visit madcowtheatre.com.

Self-taught artist David Price always knew he wanted to do
two things: sculpt and work in a garden. He has had a lifetime appre-ciation for art and nature that he inherited from his parents. Price grew up primarily in Charleston, South Carolina, and spent summers in Florida where his family would camp, fish and canoe. He earned a degree in botany from Clemson Uni-versity, and his first paid art job was creating zoological illustra-tions for lab manuals. Price moved to Florida 25 years ago to accept a position as the director of horticul-ture at Bok Tower Gardens. Today, he serves as president of the non-profit public garden and operates Sandhill Studios out of his home in Lake Wales. “I feel blessed not only to do this as a hobby, but as my work,” says Price.
His love for nature is apparent in his sculptures. From turtles to birds to alligators, his subjects are usu-ally animals. Price has carved with wood and stone but primarily uses bronze now. He likes to create life-size works and sculpts in the round. “I want my pieces to have attitude from all angles, 360 degrees around,” he says.
The 53-year-old is influenced by Donald De Lue, Henry Moore and Auguste Rodin, and is inspired by his surroundings. “I’m always car-rying my camera with me, always looking for inspiration,” he says. “In Florida, there is so much wildlife. I don’t think people fully appreciate the diversity we have here.”
Three of his pieces can be found at the Visitor Center at Bok, includ-ing Anhinga, pictured here. Price is also a founding member and current president of the Green Horizon Land Trust, which has protected more than 5,300 acres in Central Florida over the past 20 years.
