SUMMARY:Island City Stage presents the East Coast Premiere of Everything Beautiful Happens at Night
DESCRIPTION:From writer Ted Malawer (Red\, White\, & Royal Blue)\, Carbonell and Silver Palm Award-winning director Bruce Linser\, and featuring stunning illustrations by multi-award-winning artist Bong Redila\, Everything Beautiful Happens at Night is a tender\, funny\, and moving story about the life you have\, the life you want\, and who stays when the world gets quiet. Tickets are on sale now for Island City Stage’s East Coast premiere of the play which runs April 2- 26. \nEzra is a closeted children’s book author. Nancy is his fiercely loyal editor. Their creative partnership has shaped stories that delight generations. But when writer’s block pushes Ezra far past deadlines to deliver his latest book\, a new voice enters the conversation and begins to change Ezra’s life\, inspiring a controversial ending to Chipmunk and Squirrel\, and testing the limits of his friendship with Nancy. \nAs a former literary agent for children’s book authors\, then as an editor of children’s books\, and ultimately as a children’s book author and novelist\, himself\, Ted Malawer has spun a tale close to home. Everything Beautiful Happens at Night was partially inspired by his childhood LGBTQ author heroes Maurice Sendak (“Where the Wild Things Are”) and Arnold Lobel (“Frog and Toad” books). The play held its world premiere at Capital Stage in Sacramento\, California\, in early 2025 and its second U.S. staging brings it to the award-winning Island City Stage in Wilton Manors\, Florida. \nIsland City Stage’s production of Everything Beautiful Happens at Night\, directed by Linser\, stars Christopher Dreeson as Ezra\, Laura Turnbull as Nancy\, and Aidan Paul as Jake. \nEverything Beautiful Happens at Night co-producers are Russell Vance\, Michael Mullins and Terry Gaw; Lights and Sound Sponsor is Scott Bennett; Talent Sponsors are Paul Rolli & Bennett Quade and Robert Lee; Costume Sponsors are Rita Cassady and John Colemen; Set Sponsors are Margie & Trevor Fried; and Illustrations Sponsor is DC Allen & Ken Flick No Gay Hate Fund at Our Fund. Additional funding is provided by the following: The Our Fund Foundation\, The Schubert Foundation Inc.\, the SHS Foundation\, the Warten Foundation\, and OutClique. \nIndividual show tickets start at $45. A Mimosa Sunday performance sponsored by John Fomook and Charles Lee will take place on April 12. A special Women’s Night at the Theatre sponsored by Barbara Signer and Fran Epstein will take place on April 24. The show runs for one hour and 40 minutes with no intermission. \nIsland City Stage believes that theatre should belong to the next generation of storytellers\, artists\, and audiences. Its new “30 Under 30” initiative invites patrons ages 18–29 to experience award-winning\, professional theatre for just $30 per ticket (plus taxes & fees; subject to availability on Thursday and Friday evenings and Saturday matinees). Limit one ticket per patron per production. A government-issued photo ID will be required at will call. When ordering online\, use discount code “30U30.” \nFor more information and to purchase tickets\, visit www.islandcitystage.org\, call (954) 928-9800 or email boxoffice@islandcitystage.org.

SUMMARY:The Restored Woman Experience
DESCRIPTION:The Restored Woman Experience: From Loss to Legacy Luncheon will take place on Saturday\, April 18\, 2026\, from 11:30 a.m. to 3:00 p.m. at Echelon Executive Suites\, located at 1710 East Tiffany Drive\, West Palm Beach\, Florida 33407. This intimate\, thoughtfully curated luncheon is limited to 120 women and priced at $199\, including a full\, curated lunch. \nDesigned for women navigating life after relational loss\, widowhood\, divorce\, betrayal\, or major life transitions\, the event offers a powerful opportunity to rebuild without erasing who they have been or what they have survived. \nThis is not grief counseling-this is identity restoration and intentional rebuilding. \n“So many women suffer in silence while holding families\, businesses\, and communities together\,” said Sandy Collier\, co-organizer of The Restored Woman Experience. “After my own loss\, I learned what it meant to put on a brave face while quietly falling apart inside-still showing up for my children\, my clients\, my friends\, and my responsibilities. This experience was created to ask a question that too many women never get to ask: Who is strong for them? You survived it. Now its time to rebuild from it.” \nGuiding the conversation as moderator is WPTV s Tania Rogers\, whose professionalism\, journalistic integrity\, and ability to lead meaningful dialogue will help shape a powerful and engaging experience for all in attendance. \nThe event is proudly supported by key community partners\, including the City of West Palm Beach as a major sponsor\, Car Accident Referral Services\, and Master Saddler Kate Ballard of West Hill and Son\, whose commitment to community impact helps make this experience possible. \nGuests will gather for an elegant luncheon designed to encourage reflection\, renewal\, and intentional rebuilding\, with a focus on rediscovering purpose\, clarity\, and confidence. \nThe featured keynote speaker is Dr. Joan Wright-Good\, an internationally recognized transformational strategist and award-winning CEO whose journey from institutional care to global influence earned her recognition at the White House as a Business Game Changer. \n“Restoration is not about going backward\,” said Dr. Wright-Good. “It is about moving forward with wisdom and intention-transforming pain into purpose and legacy.” \nThe program also features respected leadership voices and includes the presence of a licensed mental health professional to support the spirit of care and restoration. \nAligned with its mission\, the event supports the Extraordinary Kids Provision Center\, providing hope and resources to children and families in need. \nSeating is extremely limited\, and early ticket purchase is strongly encouraged. \nEvent Details:\nWhat: The Restored Woman Experience: From Loss to Legacy Luncheon\nWhen: Saturday\, April 18\, 2026 | 11:30 a.m. – 3:00 p.m.\nWhere: Echelon Executive Suites\, 1710 East Tiffany Drive\, West Palm Beach\, FL 33407\nTickets: $199 | Full lunch included\nCapacity: 120 guests \nFor more information about the Extraordinary Kids Provision Center\, visit their website:https://extraordinarykidsfoundation.org/ekf-provision-center \nURL:\nTickets: https://go.evvnt.com/3539251-0?pid=12123 \nDate and Time: On Sat\, 18 Apr 2026 11:30 – 15:30 \nVenue details: Echelon Executive Suites\, 1710 East Tiffany Drive\, West Palm Beach\, Florida\, 33407\, United States \nCategory: Community | Local / Community \nPrice: General Admission: USD 199.00
