Temple Shalom Sisterhood presents Myra Janco Daniels By Arlene Yedid Who is most responsible for the growth of Naples as a cultural arts center and prominent city? There is no doubt that it is the legendary Myra Janco Daniels. Temple Shalom Sisterhood is pleased to announce that on Tuesday, November 12 at 11:30 a.m. at Temple Shalom, Myra will be reminiscing in a special program honoring her achievements. Her amazing career began as a professor of marketing and advertising. Later, Myra became a pioneering executive in Chicago, heading up a national advertising firm. Selling her very successful company to Draper Daniels eventually led to marriage. Draper was a colorful figure who was the inspiration for the character Don Draper in the television series Mad Men. When it came time to retire, they moved to Marco Island. After Draper died, Myra became interested in forming a Marco Island chamber orchestra. Later, she led a grassroots drive to gain community support for a Naples symphony. Knowing that the Naples Philharmonic needed a home, Myra led a major financial campaign for a center for the arts that Myra Janco Daniels became the iconic Naples Philharmonic Center for the Arts. Next she created the Naples Museum of Art, in which hang two spectacular blown glass Dale Chihuly chandeliers, and a tribute to Naples, a massive blown glass ceiling aquarium. Myra served 30 years as CEO of the Philharmonic Center for the Arts, overseeing its growth into a cultural arts mecca. Myra has said, “I used the same principles I learned in advertising to sell this community on the arts. You have to believe, and then you have to get the community to believe. You have to get them involved to the point that they feel it’s theirs.” Has she retired? As Myra has said, “I don’t think that anyone can retire from living.” Furthermore, she believes that everyone has a responsibility to help in some way to create a better community. Join us at Temple Shalom to meet Myra and hear about her amazing life and recent project for “latchkey children.” The cost is $30 for Sisterhood members, $32 for non-members and guests, and $50 for sponsors. For information or reservations, call Barbara Druckman at 239.405.1141.
ARTS & CULTURE November 2019 Federation Star TheatreZone celebrates its 15 th season, announces 2019-2020 shows TheatreZone, a Naples professional Equity theatre celebrating its 15 th season, is pleased to present the following Broadway productions for its 2019-2020 season: Home for the Holidays (December 13-15), Leonard Bernstein’s Wonderful Town (January 9-19), Tonya & Nancy: The Rock Opera (February 6-16), Gypsy (March 5-15) and I Love My Wife (April 16-26). In a change for this season, all evening performances will begin at 7:30 p.m. Matinees at 2:00 p.m. will continue to be offered on Saturdays and Sundays. “We like to present a blend of a traditional shows, a favorite from the past seasons, and a show or two that people may not have seen before,” says Artistic Director Mark Danni. “This gives our subscribers and ticket buyers variety and exposure to new things. We believe it is our job to introduce lesser known works to new audiences.” “The idea for Wonderful Town came from a conversation we had with Leonard Bernstein’s daughter, Jamie Bernstein,” he continues. “She told me that Wonderful Town is her favorite of her dad’s musicals, and I thought, wow, that’s really saying something, considering he wrote West Side Story. We’re looking forward to sharing Wonderful Town with our audiences.” Tonya & Nancy: The Rock Opera brings a different, edgier musical genre to the Florida premiere of this brand new show, which has only been presented in Boston, New York and Chicago. The producer, seeking a new staging of this highly entertaining dark comedy, immediately considered Mark Danni and TheatreZone, and flew to Naples to specifically meet with them. Andrea McArdle, Broadway’s original Annie, will play the tour de force role as each character’s (Tonya’s and Nancy’s) Shakespearean mother. Tonya & Nancy is a fantastically clever show, based on a historic event that shocked the world; though it does include adult language and subject matter more suitable for mature audiences. With so many well-known songs, Gypsy appeals to everyone. “This is a classic and timeless Broadway musical where audiences leave happy and singing,” Danni says. “We expect that these tickets will sell quickly.” Directing the production will be Karen (Moor) Yelaney, who was the original Baby Louise with Ethel Merman on Broadway. Her talented daughter, Megan Yelaney, who was last seen in TheatreZone’s Baby, will play Gypsy Rose Lee. Mark Danni and Karen Yelaney had worked together in New York before Mark moved to Naples. “We are also thrilled to announce that TheatreZone fan favorite Becca McCoy, last seen as Princess Puffer in The Mystery of Edwin Drood, will portray the iconic 3B roll of Mama Rose,” Danni says. Well received when TheatreZone staged it in Season 5, I Love My Wife is a hilarious 1970s look at relationships and sexuality. “The topic sounds racy, but the show is not,” Danni says. “It’s more about the comedy and how the couples get to bed than what happens when they get there. I also love that the band are characters in the show and have nine costume changes!” The show has wonderful music written by legendary Tony Award-winning composer Cy Coleman (Sweet Charity, City of Angels). International concert acts and other events will be announced at a later date. TheatreZone is in residence at the 250-seat G&L Theatre on the Community School of Naples campus, 13275 Livingston Road, Naples. Tickets range from $50-75. For more information, visit www.theatre.zone or call 888.966.3352 x1.
