What a great two weeks for live events it has been, I am
officially re-naming Central Florida the live event capitol of the universe!
The Orlando International Fringe Festival set several all time records for
ticket sales, award prizes, and attendance. Much of the credit for this success
goes to the Fringe’s new producer Michael Marinaccio who brings a great new
look for this year’s event and a great outlook for future Fringes. This is one
of those deals where I wish I could have cloned myself so I might have seen
more of this outstanding event. Great job Michael and one of the best
production teams ever!
On to the immediate future, this weekend is filled with more
great live events, on Sunday I will be attending the World Ballet Competition’s
production of All Stars of Dance at Orlando’s Bob Carr Performing Arts Center. Accomplished
ballet stars from Cuba, France, Japan, Russia, and the US will be performing at
this one night only, one show only event. Tickets start at just $25 and are
still available. Bob Carr Performing Arts Center is an excellent venue to watch all kinds of events
with ease of use in stage set and scenic design installation.
On the note of great presentation and production, I recently
had the opportunity of touring a local museum that is the home of the world’s
largest private collection of Louis Comfort Tiffany’s works of art. Located on
the north end of Park Avenue in Winter Park is the Morse Museum of American Art.
With the recent completion of a new wing, the museum is home for one of the
most spectacular collections anywhere. The grandeur of the former Long Island,
NY estate of Louis Comfort Tiffany Laurelton Hall is brought to life through the
lighting design and support displays in the museum. If you are a lover of all
things Tiffany, this is a great place to visit this weekend.
A lot of great live events in and around the area this
weekend, make it a point to partake in a few.
