And Away we GO…to the 2014 LEGENDS BALL@ the Gleason!
What do supporting LGBT Youth through and arts scholarship program; offering year round support, training & leadership to the Hispanic community; and going to an amazing party, rightwhere Jackie Gleason used to hang out, have in common? Unity Coalition|Coalicion Unida's annual LEGENDS BALL, of course, and we want you to be a part of this great event.
ABOUT the LEGENDS BALL
Our theme this coming April isPride in the Arts - Celebrating Theatre, Dance and the Arts in South Florida. This year’s recipients are a stellar list of the who’s who of South Florida Theatre and the Arts. The list of honorees includes South Florida Symphony conductor Sebrina María Alfonso, Broadway Producer/Director Richard Jay-Alexander, choreographer & producer Pedro Pablo Peña and acclaimed theatrical director David Chacón-Perez. They will each receive the Legends Honor Medal at the annual LEGENDS BALL, set for Wednesday, April 9th, 2014 at the Jackie Gleason Rehearsal Hall in Miami Beach.
Past honorees include: Michael Aller, Billy Bean, Mayor Matti Bower, Xavier Cortada, Robin Schwartz, Elaine Lancaster, Mikey Verdugo, Merle & Danny Weiss, Det. Juan Sanchez, Comm. Michael Gongora, Dale Stine and many more.
As part of our exhibit at the ArtDecoWelcomeCenter (of original theatre & Broadway costumes, memorabilia, etc…) we are also celebrating the Theatres of South Florida - Past & Present, including the golden years following 1964 when the Jackie Gleason Show was filmed here.
This year we are changing things up a bit by having our LEGENDS BALL Benefit in the historic Gleason Rehearsal Hall at the Fillmore Theatre in Miami Beach. The Legends Ball is our annual opportunity to raise monies for our year round programming needs, leading & representing the Latino|Hispanic|LGBTQ Community.
