'I'm Lenny Bruce' Coming to Kravis

1/26/2022

PictureRonnie Marmo as Lenny Bruce (kRAVIS)
(PRESS RELEASE)_WEST PALM BEACH - (January 26, 2022) – Critically-acclaimed actor Ronnie Marmo, with the blessings of Kitty Bruce (daughter of the late Lenny Bruce), along with the Lenny Bruce Foundation, are thrilled to present “I’M NOT A COMEDIAN… I’M LENNY BRUCE”  - Directed by Joe Mantegna, the theatrical event starring Ronnie Marmo as Lenny Bruce makes its Florida premiere at the Raymond F. Kravis Center for the Performing Arts for a limited engagement run on February 18 – 20. Tickets are on sale now at LennyBruceOnStage.com.

“I believe Lenny’s is the voice this country needs right now,” says playwright and star Ronnie Marmo. “In the 1960s, he exposed many of the ‘untouchable’ subjects that are in the news again now: religion, racism, immigration, xenophobia, gender inequality, sexual identity, the criminal justice system, capital punishment, bail reform, government aid, police brutality, corrupt capitalism, the opiate epidemic, marijuana legalization, censorship, I could go on and on. So here we are, over 56 years later, all the issues Lenny was fighting for are still so relevant and even radical. In certain ways, we’ve progressed since Lenny was with us, and in many, we have regressed.”

I’M NOT A COMEDIAN… I’M LENNY BRUCE 
chronicles the life and death of the most controversial comedian and undisputed legend of all time…Lenny Bruce. His personal pain, sharply funny social commentary and completely original, freestyle comedy left a lasting impact on today’s poetry, politics, music, film - and of course - comedy. His unwavering commitment to, and passion for, free speech led to numerous obscenity charges and arrests. Bruce fought for freedom of speech all the way to the Supreme Court, and died of an accidental overdose in 1966 while out on appeal. Lauded by fans and former friends of Bruce, Marmo’s crowd-shocking portrayal brings the notorious funnyman to life with all the electrifying, insightful and comedic brilliance as the one and only Lenny Bruce himself.

I’M NOT A COMEDIAN… I’M LENNY BRUCE makes its Florida theatrical premiere at the Kravis Center for the Performing Arts on February 18 – 20. Show times are Friday, February 18 at 8 pm; Saturday, February 19 at 3 pm and 8 pm, and Sunday, February 19 at 2 pm. Tickets start at $45 and may be purchased at the Official Kravis Center Website kravis.org, or by calling 561.832.7469. I’M NOT A COMEDIAN… I’M LENNY BRUCE explores mature themes, includes strong language and nudity, and is intended for mature audiences.

American Humane Hosts Cocktail Event

(PRESS RELEASE)_Wellington, FL – As the sun set over the International Polo Club Palm Beach (IPC) on January 13, American Humane hosted a philanthropic cocktail event to honor brave heroes on both ends of the leash. Military working dogs, who valiantly serve alongside American troops to keep them safe from IEDs and other dangers, are too often retired overseas and are not able to be brought back home to their former handlers. 
 
“American Humane is thrilled to have assembled such an exceptional Wellington audience in support of our efforts to reunite American’s brave military K-9s with their beloved handlers,” said Dr. Robin Ganzert, American Humane’s president & CEO. “After serving our country, many brave Military Working Dogs are tragically left alone overseas, and military handlers often face the heartbreaking reality of parting ways with their K-9 counterparts after forming an incredible bond through service on the battlefield." 
 
Guests savored delicious hors d’oeuvres and signature cocktails poolside, and enjoyed the contemporary rhythms of world-renowned musician Victor Espinola and his electric Paraguayan harp. A silent auction featured  notable prizes, from a scenic helicopter tour of Palm Beach and the Florida Coast, to a two-night stay at Caerula Mar Club, Bahamas, with private jet transportation by Verijet.

Proceeds will assist in bringing military working dogs (MWDs) back home to be reunited with their handlers. 

Additionally, monies raised will provide free, specialty, and preventative medical care for retired MWDs.
