The Maltz Jupiter Theatre Held auditions at the Improv for "The Wiz in an effort to attract local young talent throughout South Florida.  The production is scheduled to run at the Maltz from January 13 – February 1, 2015.


Andrew Kato, artistic director of Maltz, stated, “sometimes people are threatened to come to a theater because they feel it’s too formal, so the idea came to go to a non-traditional situation to see if we could bring out some people who would not otherwise come into a formal setting of a theater.”  A diverse group of talent ranging in ages from 12 to 21 auditioned for singing roles and many were invited back dance auditions.

The proposal for the gated community, Lakewood, went before the Town Council last night for an initial vote.  The original Lakewood plans had been streamlined down again.  Originally brought before the council with 286 houses in January it has been reduced to 275 residential units with a restaurant, pharmacy and 150,000 square feet designated for a future biotech research space.

 
The conveniently located and attractive gated community would be on 260 vacant acres at the northeast corner of Indiantown Road and Florida’s Turnpike.  The land, known as Parcel 19, is one of the town’s largest undeveloped parcels.

Archeologist, Christian Davenport, uncovered some great facts about Jupiter’s beloved Pineapple House of Dubois Park.  Davenport, archeologist for Palm Beach County, discovered these findings when the county purchased the Dubois-Kindt property, located within Dubois Park, in 2010. It included the Pineapple House, which was built by Harry DuBois in the late 1800s to house his pineapple crop before shipping it out.

The DuBois family history started when Harry Dubois, who worked with Captain Carlin and the Jupiter Life Saving Station, married schoolteacher Susan Saunders and built her a home on top of the historical Indian mound in Dubois Park. Their son, John, was born in 1899 in the new house. John later married Bessie Wilson, who arrived in Jupiter with…
