Kretzer Piano Music Foundation To Present Fifth & Final PHYSICIANS TALENT SHOWCASE at The Harriet Himmel Theater on August 16

The Kretzer Piano Music Foundation today announced that the brand new City Tap in CityPlace would be hosting a pre-concert cocktail party prior to the fifth and final annual PHYSICIANS TALENT SHOWCASE (PTS), which will be held at The Harriet Himmel Theater on Tuesday, August 16.

The theme of this year's PHYSICIANS TALENT SHOWCASE is We Are Family, and the show will feature numerous local medical professionals, many accompanied by talented family spouses and offspring.

This year's pre-show cocktail party for performers and VIP sponsors will be held from 6 to 7 pm at City Tap at City Place. Palm Beach County's hottest new gastropub offers craft brews from around the country - and the world - along with authentic, brick oven-cooked pizza and elevated, American pub fare. Focusing on a rustic yet comfortable bar and dining atmosphere featuring reclaimed barnwood and repurposed steel, guests can enjoy private dining as well as a lively bar scene.

William Hayes, Producing Artistic Director and founding member of Palm Beach Dramaworks, will once again be staging this year's PHYSICIANS TALENT SHOWCASE that will feature musical performances by doctors affiliated with 11 local hospitals and medical facilities.

A special performer at this year's PHYSICIANS TALENT SHOWCASE will be singer Avery Sommers, who starred on Broadway in Ain't Misbehavin' and Showboat, in the national touring companies of Chicago (with Joel Grey and Chita Rivera) and The Best Little Whorehouse in Texas (with Ann-Margaret), and in shows at ArtGarage, Palm Beach Dramaworks and The Colony's Royal Room Cabaret.

Also on the bill are several talented Kretzer Kids including Broadway veteran Ben Krieger (Finding Neverland) and his sister Charlotte Krieger; vocalist Ashlyn Taylor, who will sing a duet with former Kretzer Kid Matthew Bischoff; and 13-year-old award-winning pianist Zachary Williams.

Tickets for PHYSICIANS TALENT SHOWCASE 2016 are $75 each (tax deductible) and may be purchased by calling Complete Ticket Solutions at 866.449.2489. Profit raised from this year's concert will enable KPMF to expand its music education programs for many more deserving children.

KPMF is a non-profit organization dedicated to bringing the gift of music to children and seniors. "We believe that music enriches lives. Together we can provide music education to underprivileged children, and performance opportunities for music students," says founder Kathi Kretzer.
