That's Entertainment

The National Society of Arts & Letters, Florida East Coast Chapter, has announced that its 2nd Annual Star Maker Awards will be held at Boca West Country Club in Boca Raton on April 28.

During the event, scholarships will be presented, and awards will be bestowed upon NSAL competition winners in drama as well as scholarship winners in strings, piano, woodwinds, theater and visual arts. 

“This evening is a dazzling opportunity to experience the incredible depth of talent that our local emerging artists possess,” says event co-chair Kim Champion. “Thanks to the tremendous supporters of NSAL, we are able to provide these young talents with the scholarships, awards and mentoring necessary to take their careers to the next level. This spectacular evening will also feature brilliant musical performances by the Lynn University Conservatory of Music and the FAU School of Music.”

The Boca Raton nonprofit will also honor Marilynn Wick, founder of The Wick Theatre and Costume Museum, witha lifetime achievement award to recognize her commitment to the arts.

“Marilynn is the perfect honoree for this award,” says event co-chair Howard Schwartz. “Her dedication to preserving the history of Broadway through her costume collection is world-renowned. And her theater not only provides tremendous joy to art patrons but has also become a vital source of employment and artistic expression for countless young actors, dancers and singers. She truly embodies NSAL’s mission, and we are delighted to be presenting her with this recognition.”

The NSAL Florida East Coast Chapter comprises dedicated volunteers who understand the importance of supporting the creative arts and keeping them alive for generations to come. NSAL aims to discover and support talented young people at the beginning of their careers. O
