Florida Studio Theater / Embracing Our Differences





Hi Beth. 

I had a very enjoyable visit with the four international delegates who visited Sarasota (Roni Gutberg and her father Alex Gutberg from Tel Mond) (Andrew Rybin and his teacher Olga Milenkaya from Vladimir). I had the wonderful opportunity to spend time with them when we visited the Sarasota Mayor at City Hall, toured the City Hall with the amazing Linda Rosenbluth, toured the Circus Museum at the lovely Ringling grounds with Leone Levy as our excellent guide, and watched the Young Playwrights plays with the awards ceremony.

Alice Cotman and Dr. Fred Bloom spent time with them on Sunday as tour guides for Embracing Our Differences. Many other Sister Cities members worked very hard too such as Gila Meriwether, Yuliya Gaukhman, Ron Gossett, Dr. Dave Harralson, and Pauline Mitchell. Sarasota residents Dori Goldfarb and her daughter Julianna hosted the Gutbergs. I was happy to see several Sister Cities members at the Young Playwrights and witness the wonderful plays written by Roni and Andrew acted by the professional actors at Florida Studio Theatre.

Lectures Series Schedule

Dave Harralson gave another great presentation on "The Golden Age of Sarasota" on May 4 at the Selby Library. There was excellent attendance again for his second presentation.  

 Based on the good response it was decided to continue with our own Sarasota Sister City lecture series and the schedule of lectures is given below.  The presentations will be followed by our Meet & Greets, hopefully at a nearby restaurant.  The locations for the lectures and Meet & Greets will be conveyed well ahead of the sessions.  Thank you to all our presenters, we know how much work goes into preparing the lectures. 

 Each presentation should start off with one or two slides introducing the Mission of SCAS and our list of Sister Cities. The presentations will provide good exposure for SCAS, hopefully increase our membership and garner a bit of financial benefit.
