marketing director and old friend of mine for the very shy but very shy yes chuck says these things because he wants you know everybody to feel sympathy but we we don't judge her we know how outgoing you are but anyway we have been having folks the best season not have a single seat even in all the broadway communications everyone goes broadway numbers and jersey boys they recorded as one hundred percent folks we only had thirty five tickets that were comps and what they were  we we get comps sometimes we have a program called kids night on broadway where it's a program where an adult can bring a child and and for free and then we have a little of that and afterwards with  opens on the end you know with those theme of the show because with jersey boys it was a much more adult show it was more t v it was a right where you know beauty and the beast type show you have younger kids and we did you know jack hanna this year so we were literally sold out i mean i tried to see it a second time i couldn't find a ticket so one of the producers asked if i was going to see the show i said no i sold voices we needed to go out and so anyway we're coming to the end of our season but we have some great shows coming up and one of my favorites is a last chance now i went to college in pittsburgh i got my master's degree at pitt and of course i also worked at the pittsburgh ballet it was my first professional job and so course flashdance is a story in pittsburgh it's so much fun isn't that it is and i think we need to make sure people know it is april first and second with the spoken word on the set that is correct and that matinee is two o'clock o'clock and that is where you get your best tickets right the other two shows or really great shows there's lot of seats but great seats for the better yeah and it's fun it's really fun and of course it has the fame or famous water scene where the water comes down and we've told the story where the first time they tried it they had so much water fall on the girl that she fell off the stage you know but that won't happen we have a pretty special piping i have water for her there you go i'm going to try it out before the show but then we have one of my favorites really takes me way back we have the temptations and that is on april the third and their music is just so nicely done with that side of this wonderful music i grew up with it in high school with college to dance with at my wedding maybe years ago twenty years and it was interesting i was invited to go to the princeton senior prom and they had the temptations as the good the you know the talent you want your fancy problems well that was not my problem i went to mansfield and we didn't have anybody notice but this is a princeton and you know they have the temptations and they just sing fantastic songs that there are still a few seats left for their i'll come on down and then we return to a show that we had presented last year and i did not book enough nights of it it was memphis which had won the tony award best musical yes and it's april the fourth and it tells the story it's about a d j a white d j who would start spinning a lot of songs and a lot of them of course are the black sound the memphis sound and he falls in love with the girl and of course there are complications you know due to the time that this was premiere i don't know i don't know i think it is and i really do think it is you but i know i've never seen him before and of course he combines rock jazz blues all sorts of things there are still some tickets available boz scaggs i'm really looking forward to th evening you know under full before it's just something really really special and then next up is a totally different genre chances or chances are johnny

lovely and you know that's the nice thing about working in the kinds of jobs we have we get to meet a lot of performers and she's sort of looking forward to being here too she was really hurt that she couldn't make it of the so i know you understand so you know we still have a few tickets left but we should mention the way to get tickets you could call us at nine five three three three you can go

which to be honest with you i would love to be on right now but you sit and have dinner and you see the stunning sunset we have a terrorist that's out there you could have  stay to partake of these but they are going to tell us about some summer specials when we are back in just a minute this is anthony anthony is wanted every of any good answer of waveform scholer yes anthony is wanted everywhere will almost everywhere because recently when anthony went with his parents to find a new place to live sky half hour how can his parents tell him the color of their skin is keeping them from this apartment it's not just unfair it's illegal like to file a complaint so anthony's parents filed a housing discrimination complaint and now they have a wonderful place to live if you have been trying to buy or rent a home or apartment and you believe you've been discriminated against because of your race color religion national origin sex familial status or disability call at one eight hundred six six nine nine seven seven in the area if the i'm not the most beautiful i'm sure you think it is you know it is sometimes i live downtown and i go across the bridges to work every day and i have to pinch myself when you take a little beauty of the water and the beaches and so forth it makes you really are grateful to live here and the you get to drive across because you know we're the band way zones here on the water but i see the water when i go into my office and when i leave at the end of the day because i'm my office looks out on the parking lot a lovely parking lot but nonetheless i have  i'd like to get out about to tour the resorts so you know you find yourself walking around the golf course or going to tennis gardens or going out to the beach so it's a it's a nice place to work i enjoy it tell me a little bit about your background you have been in the hotel industry for quite some time and career that i truly enjoy and been able to move around mostly in the southeast although destroyed the washington d c but i've made submit some fascinating people live to some great communities and and i will say i've been here for two and a half years this is one of my for the resort because you get to bring people over there and see what it's like but i've been to a chef's dinner and they are fantastic well thank you know very proud of our company team you know working at a resort when you have so many restaurants and you have so you but i'm very fortunate to work with a great professional staff who can put out a superior product oh it is really excellent now can the general public go to any of your restaurants or do you have to stay at the resort it's exclusive so you either have to be a resort guest remember to have access well it is got one of the most beautiful locations i mean we're really blessed here in this community are we not we really are him is you know it's you know i can't say enough for a living throughout the state i've lived in many areas of the state  you really take a look at what our community has to offer and then obviously the you know the beauty of where we live in times you know we take it for granted but believe me i'm very appreciative of what we have and ocean properties who i know owns the resort has a strong involvement with the community itself i think you teach a course and and what are some of the boards that you sit on and involvement well you know i've always believed in the role as a general manager to give back to the community i think that's really important and i'm very fortunate to have an organization that really you know agrees you know with federal rights so i'm on the tourism development council which basically we provide to our opinions is as hospitality individuals and people within the government to our commissioners i also sit on the board of directors of the chamber of commerce of growth longboat key and also sarasota and also on the advisory committee for the university of south florida sarasota methods the school of hospitality we're very grateful for the support of the tourist development council because they support the arts because we try to bring a lot of international visitors here i've had a lot of our artists stay at your resort and really really like it now i know that at times you'll offer specials for people that live in florida and and what do you have coming up anything special what we do offer as we go into we're going into the spring and summer time to all the sort of resident rate which is a twenty percent discount you know based upon being a florida resident great you know what we find actually it's interesting in the summer months most recently last several years we're seeing that is just as busy i mean really of the reserves now as it is in their high season and what we're finding is those individuals who live in the our community or even orlando and tampa for that matter you know it's a we call the staycation right friends there and they come down because it's not a terribly long drive but here they have all the amenities a resort has to offer and can get away and be able to relax yeah you know i would love to just go over for a weekend and do that but you know i hope that our industry in the in the arts that will be able to become more of a fifty two week you know a year you know as i've been here for the two and a half years i've seen a change in the occupancy  sarasota and we've got more and more visitors coming to our area and as i understand in the past we more of a seasonal destination yes we're not that and so that we're seeing you know it throughout the summer you know from the spring into the summer of that we have a lot of  what's great about the arts is it truly complements the experience not only for the individuals who live here reside here or snowbirds or residents but also for visitors because we have so many offerings and and so we're so glad to partner with the van ways on the organization here because it truly provides that quality of a visit for our visitors coming in the obviously for our residents and i think it's been a great partnership i must say as we close that the longboat key club and the resort has been such great supporters in the past and i want to thank you again we look forward to our a long partnership going into the future where i hope we will become three hundred sixty five days a year you know for every industry thank you so much for being here and we will be back in a minute what happens when people take action against housing discrimination my coworker was pressured by her landlord to pay her rent but sexual favors my neighbor was told she needs to get rid of her dog even though he's an assistance animal housing bay front looking out and people were out having glasses of wine we had candles outside it was just a romantic evening but let's see a little bit of chris botti and chris will be here on april seventeenth and we still have some tickets left and this is a night bring your girlfriend your wife or just you know your sister whoever and it's a great great show and then we turn all we turn around all in all foodies everybody has a to pick i'm hoping it picks my wife rather than she is a really good cook but if they're going to do audience demonstrations are going to you're going to make sure there's a mission impossible because of mission impossible you get to create some challenges for him if you get chosen to go up on the stage and he is yes it is it's a ploy to give the young things to read this is a family friendly show if you've got kids that are it's a food if they're little chefs this is a great way to bring to it's perfectly wonderful for the kids come in and see him in action because he's so much fun yeah and it's a show that i think will be very you still look great talk you look great but anyway and then we come up with a we were talking about looking backwards you know we're bird aflac the songs the love songs sort of of a generation  shooting college you know i can remember you know with my boyfriend in college and you know killing me softly feel like making love then and first time i ever saw you do you think her concerts just would bring back all those memories t everything and i was in gosh i think was two or three years ago i was in st martin's on vacation and there was a big billboard you know for roberta flack and so you know she's one of these endurable stars that is still out there every day making a living so some changed i've seen i've seen her about two years ago and she just sounds like she did when i was twenty one years old and these moves yeah and so this is april twenty second right and i really urge people because you know things like this makes such a great evening out and i know i'm going to be there i hope you will too i agree we will to bring that show back because that was an amazing show but of course it is so weak that we could we could have and he was so funny and the band was fantastic so i'm really going to this time when i see rain look at it a new after you know having broadway where i saw a big production numbers and you see the films of the times you know and it takes you back to the sixty's actually if you can remember them you know there are those of us that have a little groggy memory but yeah the sixt pm there's a few tickets left and this theater rocks when rains here you can't not say no to bringing that show back because every time it sells out and then i see i think this is this is one not if but i mean because there are a lot of these irish shows that i love but celtic woman it's their tenth anniversary tour which is amazing it doesn't feel that wow it doesn't feel that long and when it first opened right these women who have you know we recently had jackie beautiful and the songs and they have that quality i've been to ireland twice have you been there just to play golf better and it's such a golfer you know you learn something every day but i just love you know the  harbor and the ring of harry and when you hear this music you just know are are right back in ireland and it's such a special show i mean they're even talking to me about bringing it back next year and again it's one of those shows that i just do and again tickets are nine five three three three six eight on our website w w w a van ways will dot work and i probably haven't set it this show but please make sure you go to our website because there are sites that look like us their secondary sellers they either lie and say they have tickets and the great tickets or they do have our tickets but they've marked up the price hugely and you know it's sad i can't do anything about it legally but rivers in the neck well not any more than it be scary but you know celtic woman and rain and then all the diversity of programming here is fantastic and that's the thing that i that drew me to this job is it's for young people you know i mean we opened up the season with philip  big big i mean big show another one like jersey boys that will sell out so you know well suited our lives on this one so when we announce that subscription you buy your subscription so you get a seat because there are a lot of disappointed people i could even help friends know so anyway
