Shakespeare’s tragic tale comes to the Banyan Bowl Stage
Pinecrest Gardens welcomes the New Year with a Shakespearean classic, and the production is phenomenal. In William Shakespeare’s Romeo and Juliet, a long simmering feud between two noble families disrupts the city of Verona and brings about a tragic ending for young lovers, Romeo and Juliet. Romeo and Juliet, one of the Bard’s most popular romantic tragedies, has been in continual production across the globe since its premiere. Pinecrest is proud to present Florida Shakespeare Theater’s Romeo and Juliet Friday, January 11 and Saturday, January 12, 2019 at 8:00 p.m. and Sunday, January 13, 2019 at 6:00 p.m. Free of Charge.
Underwater HOA
You’ve seen the Elevation Drive street paintings, you’ve witnessed houses lined with underwater marker lawn signs, you’ve experienced Ice Paintings, one of the most exciting exhibits in our Hibiscus Gallery and now you’re your turn to enter the conversation. Engage with your community when you attend Xavier Cortada’s introduction to the Underwater HOA. The inaugural meeting of the Underwater Home Owners Association is on January 9, 2019 at 7 p.m. at Xavier Cortada’s studio (Whilden-Carrier Cottage). We can all make a difference and minimize the effects of climate change and sea level rise, but it takes a Village and a proactive mind set. Officers will be elected at this meeting and by-laws will be written. One vote per household.

JAZZ
The World Famous Glenn Miller Orchestra returns to Pinecrest Gardens on Saturday, January 19 at 8:00 p.m. The Legend Lives On! Glenn Miller was one of the most successful of all dance bandleaders back in the Swing Era of the 1930’s and 40’s. Today, the 18 member ensemble continues to play many of the original Miller arrangements both from the civilian band and the AAFB libraries. Additionally, it also plays some more modern selections arranged and performed in the Miller style and sound. Just as it was in Glenn’s day, the Glenn Miller Orchestra today is still the most sought after big band in the world. Few tickets remain at $35 and $40, and tickets at the gate have an additional $5 sur charge.
