FRINGE THEATER WWW.FRINGETHEATER.ORG 305-731-0581 FEB 15-25, 2023 by Ben Harrison "EL ISLENO 1921" at 600 White Street (Armory Building) |
 |
Ben Harrison’s New Musical Showcases an All-Star Band It’s December 1921 and business has never been better at The Red Rooster Tea & Coffee shop, Key West’s local speakeasy and sporting house. Love, Lust, Ragtime and Jazz fill the air until a fated night with a mackerel sky. El Isleño 1921: The Untold Key West Story, which opens at the Fringe Theater next month, is the legend of Manuel Cabeza (El Isleño) reimagined by musician/playwright Ben Harrison. With opening night already sold out, Fringe Theater is looking at a booming two week run of this roaring ragtime musical production, February 15-25th at 600 White Street. It all began when Ben volunteered to be a Friends of the Cemetery tour guide. His assignment one chilly Sunday in January 2019 was El Isleño’s grave: R.I.P. Manuel “El Isleño” Cabezas, born New Years Day 1887; died Christmas Day 1921. Ben, who has lived and performed in Key West since the 70s, has a fondness for storytelling and a keen interest in the history of the island. Through research in the archives of the Monroe County Library and conversations with master local historian, Tom Hambright, Ben discovered the story of that one fateful night on the eve of Christmas Eve in Bahama Village in 1921. By 2021, exactly one hundred years after the original events took place, the project of creating the musical was well underway. “I was excited about writing music from this era because it is filled with enthusiasm, movement, and life’s promise. On the other hand, writing songs for a moment this intense was like going from light to dark and back again,” says Ben, “The rough and tumble history of the island in 1921—this was like putting a human puzzle together—riveting. It’s taking the available facts and walking the streets of Key West in the character’s shoes.” The large all-local cast will share the stage with a live band that incorporates piano, traditional Afro/Cuban drums, guitar, upright bass, trombone, and flugelhorn. Local musicians, Michael Robinson (Musical Director/Piano), Larry Baeder (Guitar) and Paulie Walterson (Percussion), will be joined by accomplished New York City jazz bassist, Santi Debriano, and Grammy award winning trombonist, Xito Lovell. Together, they are the Red Rooster Ragtime Band. In fact, the local members of the Red Rooster Ragtime Band regularly meet each Monday and have been doing so for months. “We musical compadres believe what we are doing is more than just reliving the past. To get ready for the show, we sing and play the songs of the character’s lives determined to tell their —untold—story to the best of our abilities. I care about these characters. I want to do them justice,” says Ben. On the topic of his musical compadres, Ben states, “Michael has the patience and ability to work with my strengths and do what I can’t— arrange and expand the music. Paulie’s groove shapes the songs. He knows the musical history and persuasions of Key West percussion, which has a lot to do with the Afro/Cuban rhythms. Larry is a serious musical historian and period player.” El Isleño: The Untold Key West Story is Ben Harrison’s third fully-produced musical based on Key West history. Its story of mystery, grit, tragedy, and redemption makes this show a must see! Tickets are $35 and $50 and are available at fringetheater.org or by calling the Fringe Theater Box Office at 305-731-0581. Seating is limited, so audience members are encouraged to get their tickets early. For more information, please contact info@fringetheater.org. -------------------------------- |

Florida Keys Women Artists Celebrated in Juried Exhibition at the Key West Museum of Art & History February 6, 2023 – (KEY WEST, FL). Key West Art & Historical Society welcomes the public to a special reception on February 24 from 5:00 p.m. to 8:00 p.m. to celebrate the work of 43 Florida Keys female artists featured in the “From a Woman’s Hand” exhibit at the Key West Museum of Art & History, 281 Front Street. The biannual exhibit juried by arts community leaders Jane Grannis, Martha Resk, Lois Songer, and Cori Convertito, Ph.D. illuminates the remarkable achievements of women artists who have been marginalized for centuries. Gender bias is less obvious today, but contemporary women artists still face many barriers and disparities, as well as continual underrepresentation in museum collections and exhibitions worldwide. “Our mission is to promote and elevate the humanities and arts of the Florida Keys, including emphasis on the role of women in our society,” says Society Curator Cori Convertito. “This exhibit features strong, thought-provoking pieces created by female artists in our community. The breadth and depth of the artists’ originality and imagination is astonishing.” Among them are Lauren McAloon displaying her newest ceramic and brass sculpture in her Vessel Series entitled Rock-a Bye, American Watercolor Society signature member Sandy Mezinis exhibiting a new watercolor piece entitled Emmy, and Lower Keys photographer Lynne Bentley-Kemp with her photograph entitled Vincent Catches the Sun. Museum visitors will also discover fresh artwork and mediums by artists whose works are rarely exhibited in Florida Keys. “It is brilliant to work with all of the artists represented in the exhibit; they offer a dynamic view of everything that surrounds us – nature, people, experiences and materials,” says Convertito. “The quality and diversity of the artwork continually excites me.” “From a Woman’s Hand” runs until April 16 and is sponsored by the Florida Department of State, Division of Arts & Culture and The Helmerich Trust. For more information, call Cori Convertito, Ph.D. at 305-295-6616 x 507 or cconvertito@kwahs.org. Your Museums. Your Community. It Takes an Island. BELOW : "IBIS BEACH" by Lucy Hawk ###

A LINCOLN PERRY RETROSPECTIVE TO OPEN AT JAG GALLERY
Jag Gallery announces the opening of LINCOLN PERRY : A RETROSPECTIVE
Highlighting the decades long career of this acclaimed, contemporary artist, no stranger to the Key West art community. First acquainted after hitch-hiking here from California to crew with a boat sailing to New York , Perry returned to Key West with his novelist wife, Anne Beattie in 1993 discovering that the once rough and tumble Navy town he’d remembered had been retransformed to a tourists’ paradise. Perry was, too, transformed by the light, the endless paintable motifs, and the warmth of both the climate and the people, all inspiration for and subjects of his painting for many years.
As a painter and sculptor, Perry has been featured in group and solo exhibitions at prestigious galleries and museums from Maine to Manhattan to Key West. As a muralist, his installations include important and commanding commissions found at The Met Life Building in St. Louis, One Penn Plaza and 1700 Pennsylvania Avenue in DC, and The Federal Courthouse in Tallahassee among others. As an academic, Lincoln has held faculty positions at The University of Virginia, University of New Hampshire, Queens College and other institutions.
LINCOLN PERRY : A RETROSPECTIVE opens on Friday, February 10th with a reception to meet the artist, which is free and open to the public from 4-6 on Saturday the 11th. The exhibit continues through February 27th.
Considered one of Key West’s finest destinations for contemporary art, Jag Gallery is located at the Simonton Street entrance to Duval Square, 1075 Duval Street with ample, free parking. Gallery hours are Sunday-Thursday noon to 5, Friday and Saturday noon-8 and always by appointment. For additional information call 305.407.6202 or email jaggallerykw@gmail.com and follow us on Facebook and Instagram. Additional Works of Art from Lincoln Perry in our Part 2 |

Mayor Teri Johnston and the Key West City Commission proclaimed February as Black History Month during Tuesday's regular meeting. "Black History Month is a time to reflect on the many contributions made by African Americans to the country and to Key West's economic, artistic, cultural, spiritual, educational, and political development," reads the proclamation. Mona Clark and Annette Milian Mobley accepted the proclamation. "It is very important that we recognize acknowledge that Black history plays a very vibrant and important part in American history," said Clark. "It's important that we help our young people learn their history and their heritage. We each play a role in that continuation." Commission Clayton Lopez noted that there were many in the community he considered inviting to accept the proclamation. He noted that Clark is the first Black woman to be elected to the Utility Board and that Mobley is shaping local history with her service on the Bahama Village Redevelopment Commission and is the second Black woman to ever serve on Housing Authority's Board of Directors. He noted that several Black female pastors are also "firsts," as is former City Commissioner Carmen Turner. "The City of Key West continues to work toward becoming a community that embodies the 'One Human Family' philosophy where all citizens -- past, present, and future -- are respected and treated equally," reads the proclamation.

Mayor Teri Johnston and the Key West City Commission honored one of Key West's famous poets by proclaiming February 8th as Elizabeth Bishop Day. Bishop lived in Key West in the 1930s and 1940s and found inspiration, support, and solace in its subtropical flora, fauna, culture, and in the variety of its people. Bishop's poetic style underwent a lasting transformation in response to Key West's unique environment, and she completed her first book, "North and South" while living in Key West. Malcolm Willison and Mia Shawn, members of the Elizabeth Bishop Key West Committee, accepted the proclamation. Willison explained that the committee was formed because there was concern that Bishop was overlooked as one of Key West's great writers. "She had a difficult life here, but she overcame it," he said, noting that she left the city in 1949. The proclamation noted that Bishop's former home on White Street has been acquired by the Key West Literary Seminar and is being restored to preserve it as it was when she lived here. In honor of the 112th anniversary of her birth, people are gathering on this day to read her poetry.

Thanks to the impetus of two Key West City Ambassadors, City Hall now has a Flag Retirement Box! Robert Irvine and Mike deBettencourt worked with Mayor Teri Johnston, Assistant City Manager Todd Stoughton and Community Services Foreman Richard Sarver to make this important service a reality. Irvine got the ball rolling after being involved with a similar project in New Jersey. The new box is outside of the customer service side of City Hall. It was unveiled last week, and Irvine and the Mayor deposited the first retired flags. The retired flags will be delivered to American Legion Post 28 located on Stock Island next to the Key West Golf Club and they will burn the flags. Post 28 currently conducts flag burning ceremonies. In fact, the VFW Post 3911 on North Roosevelt Blvd. delivers their retired flags to the American Legion Post 28 for burning.

The tour will take approximately 90 minutes. Participants should wear comfortable shoes and plan to walk over a mile on uneven ground. Bottled water will be provided. This is an excellent opportunity to learn first-hand about some of the fascinating people who have given Key West its colorful and significant character. Space is limited for the tours and pre-registration is required. A donation of $20 (cash or check) per person to the Historic Florida Keys Foundation is recommended, with all proceeds devoted to cemetery restoration. Participants may enter the cemetery by either the Windsor Street or Frances Street gate and go to the registration table on Palm Avenue. The last stroll of the season will feature other gravesites and take place on March 5th. The cemetery strolls are sponsored by the City of Key West and the Historic Florida Keys Foundation. |

The Key West Theater was hopping last night as Jimmy Buffett and the Coral Reefer Band hit the stage for the second time in a week playing another special show for Locals. Jimmy and the Band were having great time telling stories and playing a variety of music with a tilt towards Key West songs. While there was some overlap with the Saturday show last night’s set list was different. The intimate Key West Theater is a local treasure of a venue with a great sound system and only 200+ seats (no bad ones). Thank You Lulu & Mac for Linda's very special Birthday present Welcome Home Jimmy! . .Join our FB Group called " Key West Wanderings " for more of our Local photography .Photos by: Bill Klipp ©All Contents All Rights Reserved Bill Klipp 2023
