Christopher Plummer on saving the Royal Poinciania Playhouse

[dynasue77]

I can't believe this man is nearly 80. My goodness, where have the years gone?

God bless you, Christopher Plummer!

Gotta add to this:

The community remembers Mr. Plummer as the cunning Iago in Othello there with Kelsey Grammer in the role of Cassio. (Kelsey Grammer graduated from Pine Crest in Ft. Lauderdale)

Florida Stage is in Manalapan, the Kravitz Center is in West Palm. The Royal Poinciana is the first theater in the area, the only in the town of Palm Beach, and remains a scintillating jewel of the Treasure Coast.

To even consider tearing this jewel apart is a travesty--to even think such a thing. And for a Shopping Mall?

Let's see this jewel as shining and contributing it's brilliance and luster again.

The Royal Poinciana is the only existing theater in Palm Beach, after the closing of the Paramount, long ago. The Royal Poinciana is very similar in atmosphere and feel to the GATE Theater in Dublin.

Architecture contains the dream of history past and a watermark for the future privilege of culture. What is a country, much less a community, without the legacy of its Arts?

What is the unfiltered raw progress of Civilization with its wars and reconstructions without the on-going community of Culture?

Thank you Christopher Plummer!
