Major enthusiasm was clearly evident at the recent coffee hosted by Flavia Lowenstein-Elortegui when friends and supporters, cheerily tagged the “Tea at the Ritz” Committee, gathered to discuss plans for The PlayGround Theatre’s Fifth Anniversary celebration to be held Sunday, May 17, at 3 P.M. at South Beach’s Ritz Carlton Hotel.

Revealed was the news that Ivanka Trump, daughter of Donald and Ivana Trump who has stepped out as a major designer of high-style jewelry, will serve as Honorary Chairperson. As an active participant, the celebrated young entrepreneur has agreed to provide her Ivanka Trump Collection of diamond jewelry for a duo of exclusive South Florida trunk shows to be held Friday, May 15, from 10 A.M. to 2 P.M., and Saturday May 16, from 6 P.M. to 10 P.M. at private homes to be announced. A generous percentage of the sales will be directed to support The PlayGround Theatre’s Education and Outreach Program.

Famed event impresario Barton G. will produce the party while WSVN-7’s popular anchor Belkys Nerey, will act as Mistress of Ceremonies. Highlights of the afternoon which will totally benefit The PlayGround Theatre’s outreach programs, will be a full scale Children’s Fashion Show complete with runway, favorite characters from past productions, lollipop making, magicians, and a score of exciting opportunities for parents to join their youngsters in the festivities as they did at last year’s sold-out Mad Hatter’s Tea Party.
