I grew up in Miami Beach, and have been taking photographs of South Beach for almost forty years. The black & white silver printhas always had a special appeal to me because it encapsulates how I see. Initially, I had specialized in portraits, especially close-ups of people’s faces, and this focus on faces metamorphosizedinto a type of environmental portraiture which I have used to document my perceptions of South Beach.

It’s a country hoe-down Pinecrest-style at our Annual Chili Cook-Off. Live country music bands, line-dancing, mechanical bull riding, Heat Dancers, a delicious selection of food, chili sampling and so much more! You can even enter an old fashioned hands-tied-behind- your-back, pie-eating contest. Don’t miss this lip-smackin’, thigh-slappin’, cookin’-up-a-batch-of-fun event for the whole family. Though this event is sanctioned by the International Chili Society and the primary competition is for professional chili cooks, we will host an amateur cook-off as well and a local Firehouse Challenge. So if you happen to be a home-grown chili master with a family recipe, dust off that apron and grab your cast iron pot, it’s not too later to enter! Visit our website at pinecrestgardens.org for information on participation and your application. Pinecrest members enter the festival free of charge.

The play has won numerous awards including the 2015 Pulitzer Prize for Drama and the 2015 New York Drama Critics Circle Award for Best Play. The Pulitzer judges called it “a nuanced, beautifully written play about a retired police officer faced with eviction that uses dark comedy to confront questions of life and death.”“Between Riverside and Crazy is a dizzying and exciting place to be. It traffics in paradoxes, which is to say it deals with the walking contradictions that are human beings!” – The New York Times

The Tony Award-winning Broadway musical Carousel is a powerful ride of hope and tears. With stunning choreography and breathtaking music, Carousel was Rodgers and Hammerstein’s personal favorite of all their musicals, and was dubbed “the best musical of the 20th Century by Time Magazine. From the magical evocation of the carousel in the overture to the majestic and moving strains of the immortal song “You’ll Never Walk Alone,” this giant of the musical stage remains timeless and star bright. The poignant and heartbreaking story of the faithful Julie and her brutish husband Billy is one of the most powerful books in musical theatre history and perfectly matches its extraordinary score with the memorable songs “If I Loved You,” “June is Bustin’ Out All Over,” and Billy Bigelow’s famous “Soliloquy.”
