SUMMARY:An Exploration of Color
DESCRIPTION:Since childhood\, Sarah Rocca has been captivated by the power of imagery\, the ability to freeze time and preserve memories through the art of painting with light. Her vivid imagination\, once confined to the colorful worlds she envisioned as a child\, found its voice through digital tools. This fusion of creativity and technology allowed Rocca to bring her unique perspective to life and share it with a broader audience. \nRocca’s use of color serves not only as a visual element but as a narrative device. Through her deliberate color choices\, she conveys mood\, emotion and unspoken subtext\, inviting viewers to engage with each piece on a personal level. An Exploration of Color is a visual memoir\, a journey through Rocca’s experiences of love\, divorce\, depression and joy. Each image encourages the viewer to reflect on how color influences their emotions and to interpret the story it tells through their own lens. \nClick here to learn more of the artist – Sarah Rocca.

SUMMARY:Figure/Ground
DESCRIPTION:DeGraaf’s studio practice is deeply informed by the Gestalt principles of perception\, particularly the relationship between figure and ground. Rather than presenting a stable or singular image\, his compositions invite viewers to move between what is seen immediately and what slowly emerges through closer observation. Figures and forms are first constructed through recognizable visual structures\, then gradually deconstructed through overlapping shapes\, interruptions\, and spatial ambiguity. This push and pull across the picture plane challenges the eye to continuously reorganize the image\, creating moments where foreground and background compete\, merge\, or dissolve into one another. In doing so\, the work mirrors the way perception itself functions – constantly searching for meaning\, connection\, and wholeness within fragmented experiences.

SUMMARY:Mae West in Sunset Boulevard starring Jennifer McClain & Seth Trucks
DESCRIPTION:WORLD PREMIERE ALERT! \nPlays of Wilton (POW!) and playwright/director Ronnie Larsen proudly present the world premiere of Mae West in Sunset Boulevard\, running May 27 – June 28\, 2026\, at The Foundry Theater in Wilton Manors\, Florida. \nImagine Mae West and Marlon Brando as Norma Desmond and Joe Gillis in Billy Wilder’s legendary Sunset Boulevard — a “what if” scenario that could have changed Hollywood history forever. \nIn 1949\, Wilder famously offered the starring role in Sunset Boulevard to screen and sex icon Mae West. She declined. The film ultimately starred Gloria Swanson and William Holden\, earning 11 Academy Award nominations and becoming one of Hollywood’s greatest classics. \nBut why did Mae West say no?\nFrom acclaimed playwright Ronnie Larsen comes a stylish\, funny\, and haunting new work exploring the collision between the uncompromising Mae West at the twilight of her reign and a Hollywood eager to reinvent itself without her. Beneath the glamour lies the story behind one of cinema’s most fascinating missed opportunities. \nBefore West\, other legendary actresses were considered: Mary Pickford wanted too much creative control. Greta Garbo had no interest in returning to film. Pola Negri’s accent proved problematic. Clara Bow struggled with the transition to talkies. Norma Shearer disliked the script and preferred retirement \nEnter Mae West.\nThough intrigued by the “idea\,” West reportedly refused to portray a faded\, washed-up movie star\, offended by the implication. Norma Desmond’s tragic vulnerability clashed with the glamorous\, sexually confident persona West cultivated throughout her career. She never publicly accepted the notion that she was “finished.” \nBilly Wilder later reportedly remarked: “I can’t believe I offered this to Mae West.” \nThis compelling two-hander stars cabaret icon Jennifer McClain as Mae West — Larsen’s muse\, written specifically with her in mind — alongside Carbonell Award-winning actor Seth Trucks as the unsuspecting studio emissary tasked with delivering the script to West. \nMcClain\, beloved for her cabaret performances at The Foundry and for reopening the theater after COVID\, makes her full-production debut with Plays of Wilton. Trucks returns following acclaimed performances in The Timekeepers\, The Boys in the Band\, and as director for Standing on Ceremony: The Gay Marriage Plays. \nPlaywright/director Ronnie Larsen says: “Mae West was never going to surrender her image\, her sexuality\, or her power to Hollywood’s idea of what an aging actress should become. That tension fascinated me. This play explores not only a legendary missed opportunity\, but also the price artists pay when the world tries to decide when they are no longer relevant.” \nAssociate Producer Joseph Guidetti adds: “POW! has always been committed to telling bold stories that celebrate larger-than-life personalities and overlooked moments in cultural history. Mae West in Sunset Boulevard captures both the glamour and heartbreak of Hollywood while reminding audiences that reinvention — and resistance — are timeless themes.” \nThe Foundry Theater 2306 N. Dixie Highway Wilton Manors\, FL\nPerformances Wednesday-Sunday – Reserved Seating: $37.50 – Premium Front Row: $53.50 \nTickets: tickettailor.com/events/… \nABOUT POW!Plays of Wilton is a nonprofit LGBTQ+ theater company dedicated to producing bold\, original theatrical works celebrating diverse voices and stories. Under Ronnie Larsen’s leadership\, POW! has become a major cultural force in South Florida through world premieres\, new play development\, and innovative community programming.

SUMMARY:Stillness Within
DESCRIPTION:A Silent Day Retreat on Tranquil Abiding\nSaturday\, June 20 at 10 am – 3 pm
 with Buddhist nun\, Gen Jindak \nOur mind is extremely powerful and creative\, but until we develop concentration we have no means to harness our mind’s power and use it to deeply transform our life and our world. By training in concentration\, we will develop mental peace and contentment\, we will have fewer distractions\, and we will be able to focus more freely on whatever we wish\, creating extraordinary change in our lives. \nBuddha’s method for training in concentration leads us to a special quality of mind called “tranquil abiding\,” a deeper level of concentration that arises through training in meditation in a systematic way.\nOn a silent retreat we stop ordinary busyness and start to attune to the beauty that is found within. This beauty and peace we discover inside ourselves makes us feel happy with ourselves. We become free of insecurities and low self-esteem\, always thinking that the answer to feel better is “out there.” Instead\, we just relax and understand what we have been looking for—happiness—has always been inside. \n$45 ($40 by June 18)

SUMMARY:Figure/Ground
DESCRIPTION:DeGraaf’s studio practice is deeply informed by the Gestalt principles of perception\, particularly the relationship between figure and ground. Rather than presenting a stable or singular image\, his compositions invite viewers to move between what is seen immediately and what slowly emerges through closer observation. Figures and forms are first constructed through recognizable visual structures\, then gradually deconstructed through overlapping shapes\, interruptions\, and spatial ambiguity. This push and pull across the picture plane challenges the eye to continuously reorganize the image\, creating moments where foreground and background compete\, merge\, or dissolve into one another. In doing so\, the work mirrors the way perception itself functions – constantly searching for meaning\, connection\, and wholeness within fragmented experiences.

SUMMARY:I AM MY ANCESTORS
DESCRIPTION:In Appreciation of Black Independence\, artist Will Simpson of Timelessartz created an exhibition celebrating Black Culture (Blacknicity). Dance\, music\, and poetry have always been embedded in the African American culture\, and Blacknicity will be the exhibition to showcase it all. The importance of Ali Cultural Center for the exhibition is major. First of all\, it’s in the heart of Pompano\, which is a major African American community in Broward County. Blacknicity was created in 2021 by artist Will Simpson and co-founder John Cledor\, to bring art to the community. Will Simpson has been a pillar in the Broward art scene for years now. He’s taught multiple workshops\, murals\, live painting\, and events all throughout South Florida. Blacknicity is simply put\, “Building our community from within.” Showing our youth that they have more than enough inside to be their best version of themselves. We gotta start uplifting each other\, supporting one another\, and being there for one another. We are not alone\, and as a community\, we must stand united. This show is about changing the narrative that our ancestors were slaves. When in reality\, we came from royalty\, warriors\, and creatives. Our ancestors’ culture is much more than slavery; we are Kings and Queens. As you enjoy this show\, please view each art piece with you in mind\, and know that your life matters.

SUMMARY:An Exploration of Color
DESCRIPTION:Since childhood\, Sarah Rocca has been captivated by the power of imagery\, the ability to freeze time and preserve memories through the art of painting with light. Her vivid imagination\, once confined to the colorful worlds she envisioned as a child\, found its voice through digital tools. This fusion of creativity and technology allowed Rocca to bring her unique perspective to life and share it with a broader audience. \nRocca’s use of color serves not only as a visual element but as a narrative device. Through her deliberate color choices\, she conveys mood\, emotion and unspoken subtext\, inviting viewers to engage with each piece on a personal level. An Exploration of Color is a visual memoir\, a journey through Rocca’s experiences of love\, divorce\, depression and joy. Each image encourages the viewer to reflect on how color influences their emotions and to interpret the story it tells through their own lens. \nClick here to learn more of the artist – Sarah Rocca.
