Jupiter, FL (November 20, 2008) - The Tony Award-winning psychological thriller, Sleuth, starring Mark Jacoby from the originals; The Phantom of the Opera, Grand Hotel and Ragtime as well as revivals of Sweet Charity, Man of La Mancha and Sweeney Todd, will be onstage December 2 - 14, 2008 at the Maltz Jupiter Theatre. Director, Peter Flynn, returns to the Theatre where he won the prestigious 2008 Carbonell Award for "Best Director" of Man of La Mancha.
Written by Anthony Shaffer in 1970, Sleuth, is a play set in the Wiltshire, England manor house of Andrew Wyke, a successful mystery writer, played by Mark Jacoby. Milo Tindle, the lover of Wyke's wife, is played by Jeremy Webb, who was nominated for two 2008 Outer Critics Circle Awards and five 2008 Drama Desk Awards. Inspector Doppler will be played by Stanley Rushton; Detective Sergeant Tarrant will be played by Robin Mayfield; and Liam McNutly will play the role of Police Constable Higgs.
Wyke, who is obsessed with deceptions of fiction, games and game-playing, lures Tindle to the manor in order to stage a robbery of his wife's jewelry. The spiral of events that occur after the staged robbery leave the audience baffled and trying to figure out where Wyke's imagination ends and reality begins. This action-packed whodunit mystery will have the audience shrieking and laughing out loud as two men battle over the love of one woman.
According to Anthony Shaffer, the play was partly inspired by his friend, Stephen Sondheim, a composer, whose intense interest in game-playing is reflected in the character, Wyke. In 1972, Sleuth was made into a famous movie starring Laurence Olivier and Michael Caine.

Billy started his theatre career at the age of twelve in Pittsburgh with Judy Gelman, now the Director of Education at COPA. "Billy was one of those students who lived, ate, slept and breathed the arts. He had a wonderful voice, but couldn't act or dance when he started to study in Pittsburgh. Billy had to take two busses everyday to get to classes and at night, different parents would drive him home. He never stopped working, studying, believing. And then, when he "made it" he never forgot to come back to his community to help teach others," says Gelman.
Billy won ‘Vocalist of the Year' on the original Star Search, and his film, "The Broken Hearts Club," won the G.L.A.A.D. Media Award at the Sundance Festival. He also has film and TV experience including roles in movies with Susan Sarandon and Robin Williams. As a Director, Choreographer and Producer, Billy provides knowledge in a range of disciplines useful in aiding students through this workshop.
Billy performed in a Broadway concert of Dreamgirls produced by Andrew Kato, Artistic Director of the Maltz Jupiter Theatre, who says, "Billy is one of the most talented artists on Broadway and provides a wealth of talent from his diverse experience on and off of Broadway. The Theatre is thrilled to have Billy visit Jupiter and work with our local youth."
The two-day workshop at COPA will feature an ‘open-mike' night with Billy on Thursday, November 13th from 6 - 8pm. Students can bring their own CD and perform Rock, Broadway, Gospel, Classical or any other musical preference for Billy. This is their opportunity to get to know Billy Porter, learn about his personal theatre experiences and even watch him perform.
On Friday November 14th from 4:30 - 8:30pm, students will be able to present an entire vocal selection and a one-minute monologue for Billy to critique and discuss. A pizza party will follow the workshop at 8:30pm to include all students and parents. This unique workshop is limited to 20 students for the cost of $150 and requires attendees to bring a headshot or school photo.
COPA offers classes in dance, voice, acting and musical theatre as well as workshops featuring local and national talent throughout the year. The Theatre is able to draw from an amazing talent pool that comes from producing professional theatre each season. Past workshops have included Ron DeJesus, assistant choreographer to Twyla Tharp, Rodger Hess, the producer of Annie on Broadway and Jackie Bayne, from the Broadway cast of Dirty Rotten Scoundrels.
As a not-for-profit theatre the Maltz Jupiter Theatre, recognizing the importance of arts education for youth, has made its mission to "entertain, educate and inspire." COPA offers a challenging, innovative and quality theatre experience to students of every ability and provides professional theatre training as well as tools to develop their imagination and self-esteem.

Jupiter, FL - (October 22, 2008) - The Capital Grille hosted a special appreciation luncheon for the top donors of the Maltz Jupiter Theatre on Sunday, October 19th. The entire management team and wait staff from the Legacy Place restaurant opened early to serve an exquisite luncheon to those who supported the not-for-profit Maltz Jupiter Theatre.
"It was our pleasure to host this donor appreciation luncheon for the Maltz Jupiter Theatre's benefactors. We applaud the Theatre and its supporters for providing the community with a unique art form, professional live theater, and we are proud as a new member of this community to partner with them." said Kathleen Calkins, Managing Partner of The Capital Grille.
Over sixty donors, who are members of the Theatre's "1001 Club" (aptly named for the Theatre's address on Indiantown Road), enjoyed The Capital Grille's signature Stoli Doli martinis and champagne followed by a 3 course lunch that included salad and a choice of grilled salmon or filet mignon, along with Sam's mashed potatoes and creamed spinach. Dessert was a delectable flourless chocolate espresso cake with fresh raspberries, whipped cream and a Melba sauce.
Tricia Trimble, Managing Director of the Maltz Jupiter Theatre and Andrew Kato, Artistic Director expressed their gratitude to the benefactors for the remarkable support that has made the dream of a Professional Regional Theatre a reality in just six years. The reality, a gift to the whole community, is an award-winning Theatre with over 7,000 subscribers and a year-round Conservatory for students ages 5-20. It has become an outstanding South Florida destination for the community and tourists in Palm Beach County.
"Without the generosity of The Capital Grille, as a not-for-profit organization, we would not have come together to take a moment to take stock, and think back to three years ago of where we were and now to think of where we're going. The Capital Grille provided us with a gift of an afternoon where we collectively dreamed about the future of the Theatre, and we are so appreciative," said Andrew Kato.
