Ladies and gentlemen, a musical extravaganza is upon us. The Talleyrand Music and Arts Festival held at Metropolitan Park in Jacksonville promises to be a day jam-packed with music, food and people, so get there early to find parking.
The Flagler Theatre Department’s upcoming show “Vanities” is an insightful play about three small-town girls who are growing up together, and growing apart, during a turbulent time in history, said Alicia Mangelsdorf, a senior theatre major and the play’s stage manager.
With the opening of several art galleries, a raw food restaurant and the new Rockin’ Bean Coffee Shop, West King Street has recently become quite a progressive part of town.
A new organic market and vegan deli has just joined this up-and-coming location. The Present Moment Market, which is affiliated with the neighboring Present Moment Café, provides a small amount of fresh produce, a vegan deli and a number of other organic products.

The Casa Monica was busting at last week’s Art Walk for Breast Cancer, pun intended.
Rob Depiazza, owner of Screen Arts on West King Street, together with the Keep-A-Breast Foundation, brought 23 painted bust molds into the Casa Monica on Oct. 5 for the art walk for Breast Cancer. Former burlesque sensations Candy Caramelo and Shana were also present for the occasion.
Ben Stiller looked toned-down and mature in the previews I saw for the Farrelly brother’s newest comedy “The Heartbreak Kid.” As it turns out, he plays his usual quirky, uncoordinated character as Eddie Cantrow, a 40-year-old bachelor in the remake of Elaine May’s 1972 hit.
Cantrow is coerced by his sex-crazed father – played by Stiller’s real life dad, Jerry Stiller – and overly domesticated best friend (Rob Corddry) to marry Lila (Malin Akerman), a cute, seemingly classy blonde he’s only known for a couple weeks.
Athletes for Africa will be hosting a GuluWalk in St. Augustine on Oct. 20 to spread awareness of conflict in northern Uganda.
Flagler College Student Caitlin Eggimann is responsible for bringing GuluWalk to St. Augustine. “I was looking to participate in GuluWalk, and I contacted the leaders of Athletes for Africa,” Eggimann said, “and they asked me to take the responsibility of being in charge of GuluWalk for St. Augustine.”
Dr. Dog will be playing at Café Eleven on Oct. 30 in St. Augustine Beach.
The show starts at 8:30 p.m. with Delta Spirit and Emily Lacy opening up for Dr. Dog.
Café Eleven Marketing and Promotions Manager Ryan Dettra booked Dr. Dog, who attracts a college-age crowd and plays throw back style music, knowing the show would be a success.
“We presented them last year, and the show went really well,” Dettra said. “Dr. Dog will have a good turnout, and they have a lot of fans in St. Augustine.”
Based on Ken Kesey’s 1963 novel, One Flew Over the Cuckoo’s Nest tells the story of Randle Patrick McMurphy, a mental health patient in the 1950s. McMurphy challenges Nurse Ratched’s rules, and encourages the other patients to follow suit.
There will be a preview performance open to all Flagler students, faculty, and staff, Thursday, Oct. 18. The show starts at 7:30 p.m., and tickets are $5.
Zephian Michaels takes the lead as McMurphy, supported by Emily Gerbino as Nurse Ratched, and Eric Strichert as Chief Brombden.
Amanda Hughlett, the show’s stage manager, calls the cast an ensemble.
