Long Live the Arts
The Festival of the Arts Boca returns with a tribute to Russian artistry in dance, music and film with the help of the Russian National Orchestra, Irina Dvorovenko and Maxim Beloserkovsky of the American Ballet Theatre, and Russian-inspired films Anastasia and Dr. Zhivago.
For the literature program, several distinguished American writers are speaking. On top of our must-see list is historian Doris Kearns Goodwin, who will give a lecture and interview husband and author Richard Goodwin on March 8. PBI spoke to Goodwin about her latest adventures.
The fourth annual 10-day festival runs March 5 to March 13. Performances and lectures are held at the Count de Hoernle Amphitheater at the Centre for the Arts in Mizner Park in Boca Raton. Call for ticket information and prices. (866-571-ARTS, festivaloftheartsboca.org)
PBI: What is the topic of your next book?
GOODWIN: It’s going to be about Theodore Roosevelt and the muckraker journalists. They were a group of journalists at the turn of the twentieth century that were at McClure’s Magazine, and Ida Tarbell is there, Ray Baker and Lincoln Steffens. I’m also including Roosevelt’s relationship with Polk, who’s his successor, because they once were great friends and allies and then broke apart in 1912 when they ran against each other.
What fiction books do you read?
When I’m writing on a particular subject, I read the fiction that relates to that era as part of my research. But the truth is at night when I go to sleep I read mysteries. I’m now into Ann Perry.
What do you do for fun?
The main thing we do every night, since our kids are now grown, is go to a restaurant where there’s a bar and all of our friends gather night after night after night. It’s a huge relaxation. The other thing that takes part of my time is baseball. We have season tickets to the Red Sox. We go to dinner ahead of time and then go to the games.
What will you discuss during your lecture?
I’ll probably talk about presidents at war and look at the difference of the ways presidents have studied problems of war. I’d be able to [discuss] Franklin Roosevelt, Lyndon B. Johnson and Lincoln.
For the Children
The inaugural Hearts and Hope Designer Avenue is ready to inspire parents to redecorate their family space while raising funds for Hearts and Hope, which helps children cope with the death of loved one. Twelve interior designers have been chosen to exercise their creativity by designing a children’s wonderland from play areas to bedrooms and family rooms. The space will be shown at Downtown at the Gardens in Palm Beach Gardens from March 20 to April 18. Tickets are $10 for adults in advance and $12 at the door, and $5 for children ages three and up.
