(Lake Worth Beach, FL – February 28, 2025) Dave Lawrence, President & CEO of the Cultural Council for Palm Beach County recently dazzled dozens of theatre fans to the second of three fun and fascinating programs during the 20^th and final season of the popular series:

CULTURE & COCKTAILS

At The Ben

The topic of the penultimate conversation highlighting the very best of Palm Beach County's cultural scene was: 

DIVINE DRAMATIC DIVAS

Andrew Kato, the Producing Artistic Executive at the Maltz Jupiter Theatre, interviewed three of South Florida’s finest, award-winning actresses: Elizabeth Dimon, Angie Radosh and Karen Stephens, The talented trio discussed the challenges of being a full-time performer, ranging from the dramatic (the loss of financial support from the government, the peril of creeping censorship) to the comedic (favorite roles, humorous on-stage and back-stage anecdotes).

This season’s final CULTURE & COCKTAILS event will be:

April 14
