GET on the Boulevard LMGFL.COM OCTOBER 2016 11 EDITOR S letter Opening this October The first time I met Michael McKeever he was raising a martini glass and channeling the spirit of Leo Bloom alongside husband Stuart Meltzer who was holding his own as Max Bialystock. The two had been kind enough to play dress up re-enacting a scene from The Producers as part of a photo shoot I had helped to orchestrate at another magazine. The same thought that crossed my mind that day did so again last month when the renowned actor playwright first walked into the Ziff Ballet Opera House at the Adrienne Arsht Center in Miami for our Lifestyle cover shoot. Why does he look so effortlessly debonair in a tuxedo-- while I look like the emcee at a small-town beauty pageant My failings in black tie aside what I came to learn about McKeever--beyond his ability to make a dashing James Bond-like entrance--is that he s a genuine South Florida treasure someone whose talent continues to entertain educate and inspire. This month one of the seminal figures in tri-county theater history will debut his 25th original work After at the Arsht s Carnival Studio Theater. He s also traveling back and forth to New York in preparation for the off-Broadway premiere in 2017 of his 24th play Daniel s Husband a thought-provoking story about gay marriage in America that could very well become McKeever s first Broadway show. As a writer what s happening in the world can t help but have an impact on your work McKeever says. I m constantly being inspired and enraged by things that are happening on CNN on a nightly basis. You use that and you apply it to your art. It s a little indulgent to think that your play is going to change the world but if you can change a point of view--or make someone think about something that they hadn t considered two hours before the show--then to me that s a little victory. You have enough of those little victories and perhaps you make a small impact. Join us this month in celebrating McKeever and the other individuals featured in Lifestyle who do make an impact by challenging our perspectives with their spirit and creativity.

The details Triton has introduced its 1650 3 LP billed as the world s lightest personal submarine (at 8 800 pounds and less than 6 feet tall). It carries a pilot and two passengers and features Triton s trademark acrylic sphere which juts from the top and bottom of the vehicle giving passengers a sweeping view. No need to cut an underwater adventure short--the 1650 3 LP can stay submerged for up to 12 hours. To give owners the most from their water toy the price tag includes training for the owner and yacht crew. Crew members also learn how to coordinate dive excursions so budding Cousteaus can explore ocean depths. Cabins are climate- and temperature-controlled and an integrated sound system can provide the perfect soundtrack. For those who want their submarine to be as comfortable as their boat Triton is looking to offer luxury interiors.

It s that special day of the year when children everywhere dress up like their favorite superhero or Disney princess--and then knock on neighborhood doors begging for more and more and more sugar. You watch your child navigate through an unending sea of Elsas to get to the front of the line at the house that hands out the really good full-sized candy bars. Your stress level rises a little each time you see your child who has a peanut allergy holding a Reese s Peanut Butter Cup. The night is filled with squealing and pure joy as your kids revel in being allowed to stay up a little later and eat a Hershey bar for dinner. You get your obligatory pictures up on Facebook to document another successful Halloween (because did it even happen if it s not on social media ) and you come home and pilfer some candy from that plastic jack-o -lantern for yourself. I A mean you at least deserve that for running to every Target in Palm Beach County to get your child that Pokemon costume. Some neighborhoods are definitely more into Halloween than others but the good news is that Boca and Delray have a ton of options packed with fun for your little ghouls and goblins. There s always Town Center at Boca Raton which offers not only candy from participating stores but also air conditioning-- important because it s still a balmy 90 degrees in October. (simon.com mall town-center-at-boca-raton news-and-events) Bedner s Farm Fresh Market in Delray Beach (and Boynton Beach) goes all out for Halloween. We re talking face painting bounce houses petting zoos and much more. (bedners.com events) Delray Marketplace usually offers a fun trick-or-treating event. Plus the fact you re surrounded by a slew of restaurants means you can pop in for a non-candy bite if you need a break. (delraymarket.com) Don t forget to check event calendars for spots such as Mizner Park Sugar Sand Park and the YMCA for their Halloween events. Have a happy and safe Halloween--and consider pouring yourself a glass of wine because the face paint and hair glitter that took you five minutes to apply takes hours (and sometimes days) to remove.

OM Here to Stay L Reilly Smith finds an NHL home with the Florida Panthers ittle about the childhood of Florida Panthers right winger Reilly Smith runs contrary to the stereotype of a Canadian family with three boys. Yes they were all in skates shortly after bidding adieu to diapers. And yes they lived and breathed hockey--but as the youngest brother Smith at least had options when it came to his puck pursuits. I started skating at age 3 my brothers were already playing hockey at 4 says Smith who grew up in Toronto. My dad gave me a choice If I wanted to play hockey at 4 it was my decision if I wanted to play at 5 it was his. So I decided to take that year off [at age 4] he quips. I had some other things I needed to take care of before I laced up the skates for good. The delay of game did nothing to stunt his hockey growth. Two decades later the 25-year-old is living the life of Reilly here in South Florida. Fresh off a 25-goal season in his first year with the Panthers--and a teamhigh eight points during the squad s first-round playoff series loss to the New York Islanders--Smith signed a five-year contract extension worth a reported 25 million. It was one of several offseason moves that have Florida fans itching for this month s start to the 2016-17 National Hockey League campaign. It feels like we re building something here Smith says of a franchise that hasn t made consecutive playoff appearances since 1996 and 97. The same can be said for Smith who is finally planting some NHL roots after being shipped around early in his career. The 6-foot 185-pounder played briefly with the Dallas Stars coming out of Miami (Ohio) University before being traded to the Boston Bruins in 2013. Two years later the Bruins dealt Smith to the Panthers. It s nice to find a home hopefully I can spend the entire contract here says Smith whose brother Brendan plays defense for the Detroit Red Wings. (His oldest brother Rory is a defenseman in the National Lacrosse League). Our fan base is building and we have a lot of really good pieces on this team. We can do something special. Smith spoke more about his hockey journey with Lifestyle Did you get a sense of how much last season meant to the fans given the franchise s history Absolutely especially because of all the rats being thrown on the ice. I know that s something that started [during the 1996 season] when the team had its Stanley Cup run. It s a little quirky--and the first couple of times honestly I wasn t really expecting it--but it s nice to see that there s so much passion. We had some success last year but we re obviously looking for more this year. How long does a series loss like last year s to the Islanders stay with you It s extremely frustrating. You play 82 games in a regular season to get to a point like that you give yourself homeice advantage and then you lose a series that you feel you should have won. It was probably a month or two before I started thinking about hockey again you want to take some time to free everything from your brain. But it s a challenge. On a personal level you had a breakout season last year. Why do you think everything came together for you with the Panthers I was fortunate to be put in a great situation. I was playing with outstanding linemen and I was given ice time that exceeded my own expectations. When the team as a whole is firing on all cylinders it s easy to pick up on that momentum. Last year was a great stepping-stone for me personally but I m setting the bar higher. Do you compare notes about teams and players with your brother during the offseason--the way that Peyton and Eli Manning used to do We do talk and reminisce about the past season it s definitely not on the level of Peyton and Eli. But that s what s great about having an older brother in the league. He s a great sounding board and I m fortunate to have that. Did your brothers go easy on you when you were kids We played a lot of hockey--there were lots of games in the basement. ... And yes I was the punching bag for sure. If you have a chance to slam Brendan into the boards when florida plays detroit are you doing it--or do you pull back We ve gone after each other a little bit over the years. We have a great relationship but once the puck drops there s not much love lost. Is any of that payback for those games in the basement Absolutely. He has a lot to make up for. --KEVIN KAMINSKI T H E find Paris Comes to Sawgrass Sawgrass Mills has expanded its menu of international fashion outlets with the opening of two renowned French retailers.

For Your Parking Pleasure SAWGRASS MILLS UNVEILS A PRIME SPACE THAT COMES WITH POTENTIAL HOLIDAY PERKS BY KEVIN KAMINSKI I t s no secret that the search for a good parking spot at Sawgrass Mills in Sunrise can turn into one of Nicolas Cage s National Treasure plots depending on the day and time. So with the holidays just around the corner the debut of a 1 700-space parking garage outside The Colonnade Outlets couldn t come at a better time. But the good news doesn t end there for shoppers at the largest outlet mall in the United States. As part of Breast Cancer Awareness Month Sawgrass has partnered with Susan G. Komen and the Simon More Than Pink program to create a contest connected to a signature parking spot that brings the bling--and then some. Local artist Jonathan Stein has designed The Haute Spot the crown jewel of parking spaces featuring a mural with more than 100 000 Swarovski crystals. Between now and early November Florida residents may submit online entries for a chance to reserve the Haute Spot during one of the 14 busiest shopping days of the year-- g ys Thanksgiving Black Friday and the 12 days before Christmas. Winners chosen at random m Nov. 4 will receive a 250 shopping spree VIP butler service while shopping and lunch for two at Sawgrass Mills.

In midMay the theater company he co-founded Zoetic Stage opened Harold Pinter s Betrayal at the Adrienne Arsht Center in Miami which with a set designed by McKeever became the best-selling play in the company s history. The same week McKeever began an acting run in The Book Club Play an ensemble comedy- drama at Actors Playhouse in Coral Gables. And later in the month his 24th original play Daniel s Husband opened at Island City Stage in Fort Lauderdale. A year later the play took home three statuettes at the annual Carbonell Awards which spotlight excellence in South Florida theater in a live ceremony co-produced by--you guessed it--McKeever. It must not be easy being the busiest man in South Florida s show business but he makes it look like it is. Where others might juggle commitments and inevitably drop a few of them McKeever tackles each writing acting and design job separately with a sniper s focus not letting other projects enter the bubble until he s done. He seems uniquely immune to pressure whether it s to meet his cascading deadlines or to perennially top his own work--a reputation that peaked with Daniel s Husband a work of communal humor and heartbreaking dramatic richness that will enjoy its off-Broadway premiere in 2017. OCTOBER 2016 LMGFL.COM On any given day I ve got three ideas that are on a conveyer belt in the back of my head. that one sucks well it sucks. You make the play as good as you can and move on to the next job. McKeever 54 shares a Davie home with his husband Zoetic Stage artistic director Stuart Meltzer and their manic Boston terrier China. The black-and-white checkerboard flooring reflects McKeever s lively personality. Framed playbills from his 20 years of South Florida premieres hang on the walls and his eight Carbonell awards (seven for writing one for acting) sit on bookshelves. As always McKeever s plate is full starting with the October opening at the Arsht Center of his next world premiere After in which he also stars. His second premiere this season Finding Mona Lisa opens in 2017. More loom down the pike including Red White Black and Blue a provocative thriller about a presidential assassination that he unveiled at a reading earlier this year at Florida Atlantic University. On any given day I ve got three ideas that are on a conveyer belt in the back of my head he says. I ll sit on the patio on Sunday morning with the New York Times and just skim. Maybe I ll read about something that s happening in South Africa and it ll put a little spark back there. McKeever who grew up in a middle-class Italian household in North Miami Beach began his playwriting career with the same objective as most budding scribblers to write what he knew. An advertising and design graduate from the Art Institute of Fort Lauderdale McKeever worked as a graphic designer for WSVN-Channel 7 and then as an art director for Ventures a Miami film production studio where he designed commercials. When the studio suffered an exodus of writers McKeever jumped in to fill the role and found he had a knack for realistic dialogue. At 30 he quit the job to WHAT S NEXT Expect two McKeever world premieres this season After (Oct. 27 Nov. 13 at Carnival Studio Theater inside the Arsht Center 1300 Biscayne Blvd. Miami 305.949.6722) explores the unexpectedly uplifting fallout of a Newtown-style national tragedy by following the lives of two grieving families a year after the massacre. Finding Mona Lisa (July 12 Aug. 13 at Actors Playhouse 280 Miracle Mile Coral Gables 305.444.9293) is a series of playlets whose main character is the painting of the title--from the moment of its creation to its cameo installation at the Louvre. McKeever outside the Carnival Studio Theater. Opening spread Inside the Ziff Ballet Opera House I use Michael Jackson as my reference McKeever says. I read this in Rolling Stone and it stayed with me all these years When Thriller came out and sold 10 million copies he pasted that number on his bathroom mirror. And he saw it every morning when he woke up and said I have to top 10 million. Can you imagine My take is really basic. It s always been the same You finish one project you move on to the next one. If that one s getting picked up here and there that s wonderful And if pursue playwriting. The first play he wrote That Sound You Hear was inspired by a tumultuous breakup with a girlfriend which coincided with the landfall of Hurricane Andrew. Miami s New Theatre picked it up in 1996. He quickly rose to prominence as one of the region s most producible playwrights winning five Carbonells for best new work from 1998 to 2008 mostly on the strength of deftly written comedies. One of those comedies a frothy historical farce called Suite Surrender would become his most successful work to date earning some 800 productions worldwide from community theaters to colleges and high schools. McKeever is quick to point out however that critics panned its world premiere at the former Caldwell Theatre in Boca Raton. He s proud of his earlier work but knew he still had artistic corners to turn. LMGFL.COM OCTOBER 2016 37 Michael always had a talent for writing great dialogue and great scenes but his upbeat personality caused his early plays to be almost Pollyanna-like says Joseph Adler artistic director of GableStage. He tended to tie things up neatly and eschewed ambiguity leaving the audience feeling good about themselves. His plays have matured enormously over the years--culminating with a masterful play like Daniel s Husband. McKeever sees 2011 s Stuff at the Caldwell as his first major turning point. An ambitious biographical play about the lives of the Collier Brothers--the country s first hoarders circa 1929--the play still had a lot of the grace that I liked putting in there but at the same time there was some real emotion and real soul-searching he says. Clark Gable Slept Here which Zoetic produced in 2014 was his next career touchstone. A coffin-black satire on Hollywood artifice the play addressed the closeted homosexuality that still exists in the movie business. For the first time I wrote a comedy that wasn t based on setting up runs--one two three and now the laugh he says. I wanted to tell a great story and make a statement with the story. And the last step was Daniel s Husband which is where I took so much of myself and threw it onstage without even thinking about it. Premiering almost concurrently with the Supreme Court s landmark ruling on marriage equality the play explores the issue through the microcosm of a gay couple--one who rejects the traditions of marriage and the other who vehemently wants to wed because we can now. When a tragedy bisects the play it shifts the skeptic s perspective. The play speaks to the humanity in all of us says Antonio Amadeo who starred in the premiere. Life is short and unpredictable. We should cherish the people we love and we should fight for the rights of everyone to be able to live their lives with dignity and equality. I will forever be grateful to Michael for letting me bring that character to life. Its effect on me was profound. McKeever s acting has matured concurrently with his writing. Last year he earned a Carbonell nod for his sensitive performance in Picnic at Palm Beach Dramaworks. Two years earlier he took best-actor gold for his role in the Holocaust drama The Timekeepers at Island City Stage in which he was cast against type as a downbeat homophobic horologist fixing the watches of Jewish victims in a Nazi labor camp. Before that directors cast him mostly in what he calls witty charming put-him-in-a-tuxedo parts. In other words they told him to play himself and there are worse crosses to bear. Besides being a great actor he s such a sweet man says Amadeo who shared a stage with McKeever this year in GableStage s It s Only a Play. People that talented aren t always a joy to work with but he is and the backstage experience is full of laughter and camaraderie. He is that guy--multi-talented funny kind intelligent-- and he can do like 300 pushups.

The Emmy Award-winning comedian has been dropping jaws for nearly 25 years with confrontational no-holds-barred comedy all delivered with a pitchperfect mix of sarcasm and sweetness. But for all the buzz generated by her offthe-cuff comment at the podium this July in Philadelphia--when the ardent Bernie Sanders supporter told the vocal Bernie or Bust contingent You re being ridiculous --the real lifealtering experience for Silverman happened less than a month earlier. On the eve of her Oct. 15 appearance at Hard Rock Live--her Boca-based father and stepmom along with 10 000 of their friends will be at the show--the 45-year-old actress writer and acclaimed stand-up talks to Lifestyle about the convention as well as the illness this summer that nearly killed her. 40 OCTOBER 2016 LMGFL.COM you had emergency surgery in july. What is epiglottitis It was an abscess at the top of my epiglottis [blocking] my windpipe. I had a sore throat I can t even believe I went to the doctor. He looks at it and goes Oh you re going to the emergency room right now. He performed surgery that night. It was risky like I may not have made it. The abscess is filled with toxic poison basically so not even a drop could go down my throat. It was really scary for my loved ones but I was on drugs so I wasn t as scared. What was the scene like inside the arena that night The crowd at that point was quite fired up. It was total chaos. To a degree it represents people to another degree the people on the floor of conventions tend to be a bit fringe. Yes there are people who represent every state and that s great. It s also people with big Styrofoam hats covered with pins. The Bernie or Bust people are not the majority of people inspired by Bernie Sanders. So due to the medication you were out of it for about five days They couldn t put me to sleep completely because my blood pressure is too low. So I was just kind of awake and on drugs. They also had to [restrain me] when you have a breathing tube and you re conscious--and you re on drugs and don t understand what is happening--you try to pull it out. So they had to tie my hands down. My first thought was that I d been captured by ISIS. My sister would [calm me down and say] Sweetie When did you realize that You re being ridiculous had become as big as it became I guess when I saw how the internet blew up. It s funny I spend a few solid days on the speech and then my five minutes has to be cut to two. And then I finish and the set-up for Paul Simon s musicians isn t ready so the stage manager goes Stretch You know it s not like I had everything I cut out [from the original speech] at the tip of my fingers. There are always going to be people mad at someone who speaks out in any way. I m not for everyone I m the first one to tell you that. I speak what I believe. you re OK. You had surgery. I d fall asleep wake up feel [the restraints]--and the whole thing would repeat again. It was traumatic but the doctors saved my life. Is there a risk of this happening again It would be really insane if it ever happened again. It was a perfect storm of random bacteria. Looking back I feel it was somewhere between St. Louis and Kansas City I was on tour and flying every day. There are a lot of germs that you walk through and touch. I don t want to scare people into thinking they re going to die from a sore throat. It was just a rare odd thing that happened. And then I just reacted in the moment to the crowd. Grown people screaming at each other. I don t know what they were holding on to. The fundamentalists of any sect whether political or religious tend to be extreme. I don t know what their long game was. Why wouldn t they vote for Hillary for Bernie s sake For the continuation of this movement Bernie is amazing. I would have loved to have him as president. But I don t feel a loss. I just wish I could have seen him in a cross-party debate. The people who change the world are almost never the president. After the incident you wrote on Facebook about the paralyzing realization and the motivating revelation that nothing matters. What did you mean Life is precious but there s nothing you can do about it. It can make you paralyzed or it can make you totally free or fearless. I waver between the two. SARAH SILVERMAN LIVE When Oct. 15 8 p.m. Where Hard Rock Live at Seminole Hard Rock Hotel & Casino What Expect an evening of original material from Silverman whose career is as hot as ever.

By the time you got to the Democratic Convention were you still feeling weak That was three weeks out of the ICU. I mean I clean up well I had a pound of makeup on and I pulled it together.

LMGFL.COM OCTOBER 2016 49 D I N I N G what s cooking Put a Fork In It THE LITTLE CHALET DELIVERS ROBUST EURO-STYLE FONDUE--BY WAY OF BRAZIL--TO ITS SOUTH FLORIDA CUSTOMERS STORY BY KEVIN KAMINSKI PHOTOS BY EVELYN ROBLES I Owner Ricky Marcellini t s been 37 years since Ricky Marcellini s father opened a piano bar in Belo Horizonte Brazil next door to the eclectic store owned by Ricky s mother that sold furniture pots pans frames and other home goods. Initially the piano bar didn t serve food. As the story goes customers pointed to the fondue pots that were part of the decor and urged Ricky s father to start putting them to better use. Before long the national dish of Switzerland was all the rage in Brazil thanks to The Little Chalet which turned fondue into a culinary art form in Belo Horizonte and S o Paulo. By 1997 the next generation of Marcellinis (Ricky and his brother) had taken over the family business--but the beloved restaurant wasn t done conquering new lands. Anxious to move his family (wife Carol and daughter Nina) out of the hectic urban scene in S o Paulo and to the United States Ricky began scouting places in South Florida to open The Little Chalet. He settled on Boca Raton for its upscale audience as well as its proximity to Miami (he travels to Brazil for one week each month to help oversee the family s restaurants nightclubs and catering business). More than that Ricky saw an opportunity to create a different kind of dining experience. What I notice in the States is that after dinner the server wants you to move on and go home he says. Here we want you to stay and enjoy the night. We re seeing guests stay two three hours at a table. And for good reason. The first stateside Little Chalet (485 S. Federal Highway 561.325.8000 thelittlechalet.com) is drawing raves for its cozy whimsical Old World ambience--Ricky s mother handled the interior decorating--the charms of its staff the sweet sounds of its piano player and a menu of appetizers pastas and entr es that celebrates the flavors of Europe (think French mussels Italian chipotle chicken sausage risotto Swiss filet mignon filled with prosciutto and Catupiry cheese). Then of course there s the fondue--three cheese offerings which many diners count as their appetizer a filet mignon-only entr e and the requisite to-die-for chocolate dessert fondue. An ongoing favorite however is the aptly named Royal Chalet a fondue for two that features cubes of filet mignon slices of chicken breast and tiger shrimp--ready to be speared and bathed in a pot of piping-hot red wine consomm and then dipped into one of seven made-from-scratch sauces. Ricky shares some of the secrets of this popular dish. 50 OCTOBER 2016 LMGFL.COM 1.
