MerEdith Wilson's The Music Man
An affectionate tribute to Smalltown, USA, of a bygone era, THE MUSIC MAN follows fast-talking traveling salesman Harold Hill as he cons the people of River City, Iowa, in 1912 into buying musical instruments and uniforms for a boy's band he vows to organize - despite the fact he doesn't know a trombone from a treble clef. His plans to skip town with the cash are foiled when he falls for Marian, the town librarian, with chaos ensuing as the townsfolk get wind of his scheme. Filled with classical musical fun, tender romance, barbershop quartets and favorites including, "Ya Got Trouble," "Seventy-Six Trombones," "Goodnight My Someone," "Gary, Indiana" and "Till There Was You," THE MUSIC MAN is the perfect All-American Musical.

The Salvador Dali Exhibition, Down the Rabbit Hole, is nearing final days at Miramar. Scheduled for removal in mid-October, Dali's response to Lewis Carroll's Alice in Wonderland brought record-breaking attendance to the Ansin Family Art Gallery and was the most successful exhibition to date. Recently added are four new works, all from the Collection of Museum of Art | Nova Southeastern University:

• Eye with Ants, 1968 Watercolor
• Alice in Wonderland, 1973 Ink/marker
• Red Figure, 1970 Watercolor
• Butterflies, 1969 Ink, collage

Scheduled to debut mid October is Pop Art: From the collection of the Museum of Art | Fort Lauderdale, Nova Southeastern University. This exhibition samples the work of the best known of American Pop artists. Pop art originated in the mid-20th century, and was rooted in the imagery of pop culture and advertising. Artists such as Andy Warhol, Robert Rauschenberg, James Rosenquist and Roy Lichtenstein embraced mass media, and often employed mechanical processes to create their work rather than those traditionally associated with fine art.

The Ansin Family Art Gallery inside the Miramar Cultural Centers/ArtsPark, is open Monday, Wednesday & Friday 10 a.m. - 4 p.m.; Tuesday & Thursday 10 a.m.- 7 p.m. Donations are suggested.
