Palm Beach Gardens Medical Center has donated $12,000 to support the Admiral’s Cove Cares 2014 Arts in the Gardens Series, which features professional touring companies performing at Palm Beach State College’s Eissey Campus Theatre. The donation will also help to support other programs at the theatre such as the Arts in the Gardens for Young People and the College’s Music Department student concerts.

“PBGMC realizes the importance of the arts not only in education but in society and that helping to bring these companies to northern Palm Beach County will result in a more diversified, enriched community,” said Suellen Mann, executive director of the Palm Beach State College Foundation. “We are thrilled for their support and look forward to this new relationship.”

Upcoming Arts in the Gardens Series shows are the Broadway musical “Sweet Charity,” at 8 p.m. March 11 and Cirque Ziva, the newest show from producer Danny Chang (artistic director of the Golden Dragon Acrobats) at 8 p.m. March 25. The next Palm Beach State Music Department concert will be a jazz ensembles concert at 8 p.m. March 27.

Since 1994, the Eissey Campus Theatre has presented more than 100 professional touring companies as part of its Arts in the Gardens professional series. Guest-artists have included Linda Eder, The Lettermen, Larry Elgart and his Orchestra, Moscow Boys Choir, Jonathan Edwards, The Glenn Miller Orchestra, Peking Acrobats, Ballet Folklorico, The Ink Spots, Chris Brubeck, the Tamburitzans and Copeland Davis, plus Broadway touring shows such as “Music Man,” “Biloxi Blues” and “Cabaret.”
