M AY 2 0 2 6 | W E S T PA L M B E A C H 15 Palm Beach Dramaworks –Theatre to Think About Vineland Place WORLD PREMIERE By Steven Dietz Directed by J. Barry Lewis May 15-31, 2026 Do you love to curl up with a gripping mystery? Do you binge-watch British whodunnits, seek out movies filled with suspense, or gorge on true-crime podcasts? Do you particularly enjoy the intricacies of a psychological game of cat and mouse? If your answer to any of the above questions is an emphatic “yes,” Palm Beach Dramaworks has a play for you: the world premiere of Steven Dietz’s Vineland Place . The play was first seen at PBD as a reading during the 2025 Perlberg Festival of New Plays. In this two-character play, young writer Henry Sanders seems to have found the perfect job: finishing the long-awaited final book of the nov- elist who was his hero. Hired by the novelist’s widow, Henry finds himself instead in the midst of a rapidly developing mystery. Vineland Place is an intimate thriller, filled with dangerous sur- prises to the very end. Steven Dietz is one of the nation’s most popular and prodigious playwrights. His 40-plus plays and adaptations have been seen at over 100 regional theatres, as well as Off-Broadway and in 25 countries. He was named one of the “20 Most Produced Play- wrights in America” by American Theatre Mag- azine for the 2024-25 season. Come and see Vineland Place , and you’ll understand why. You’ll also discover the ex- citement of watching a mystery unfold live, onstage, without a screen separating the audience and the actors. It’s intense. It’s palpable. It’s live theatre.

ONLINE TRAVEL AGENCIES AREN’T ADVOCATES—THEY’RE MIDDLEMEN Sites like Expedia and Booking.com are not neutral tools—they are mass‑market retailers designed for volume, not service. They don’t: • Know you personally • Understand your travel style • Proactively monitor your trip • Step in when things go sideways If you’ve ever tried resolving a problem through an OTA, you know the frustration: being bounced between the airline, the hotel, and the website—each pointing fingers at the other. A travel advisor eliminates that runaround. You make one call . We handle the rest. EXPERIENCE MATTERS— ESPECIALLY NOW Travel is more complex than it used to be. Entry requirements, insurance fine print, supplier policies, cancellation terms, and ever‑changing conditions require up‑to‑date expertise. A seasoned travel advisor: • Anticipates issues before they happen • Guides you away from costly mistakes • Designs itineraries that actually work— not just look good online And most importantly, we stand with our clients before, during, and after the trip. THE BOTTOM LINE Using a travel advisor doesn’t mean paying more. It means: • Paying the same price • Gaining professional guidance • Receiving advocacy • Accessing better experiences • Having a human being in your corner You can absolutely book travel on your own. But if you want your vacation to be: • Thoughtfully planned • Smoothly executed • Professionally supported Then a travel advisor isn’t an added expense—it’s the best value in travel.
