The Miss Magnolia Senior Citizen Beauty Pageant
January 8-25, 2026
at Arts Center Theatre on Marco Island 1089 N. Collier Blvd (Marco Town Center)
Directed by Christi Lueck-Sadiq
The Four Old Broads are back, with some wacky new friends, in an all-new comedy. Against her better judgement, Lurleen Dupree is throwing the seventh annual Miss Magnolia Senior Citizen Beauty Pageant. Martha Parcell is certain that it is finally her year to win. But Beatrice, Imogene and Eaddy have other plans. Throw in a tambourine-playing squirrel, dueling Elvises, and an unfortunate spray-tanning incident… and you’re in for a knee-slapping, side-splitting night of live theatre.
“The Miss Magnolia Senior Citizen Beauty Pageant” is presented by arrangement with Concord Theatricals on behalf of Samuel French, Inc

Event Details
For more than a century, Americans young and old have been fascinated by the excitement and glamor that are part of the railroad tradition–the power of locomotives, the pleasant thrill and sense of adventure inspired by the sound of a train whistle in the distance, the sight of endless rails stretching in the horizon, the mystery of far-off places.
This romance of railroading and, in late years, an increased awareness of the essential nature of railroads, have stimulated a tremendous interest in railroad history, equipment, organization, services, operations, and so on.
This exhibit is adapted from a booklet for teachers published by the Association of American Railroads throughout the 1950s, that includes photographs and descriptions designed to engage students in the study of railroading.
Enjoy this journey back in time!

Event Details
Event Details

Long before the construction of the Tamiami Trail, avaricious developers and aspiring homesteaders were exploring and encouraging the possibility of draining the vast wetlands that comprised the center of our state from Lake Okeechobee to Florida Bay.
These schemes and the men who set them in motion—from tycoon Henry Flagler to Governor Napoleon Broward—ultimately shaped the ecology and economy of Florida as a whole and set the stage for many of the challenges we currently face in both arenas.
Join Museum Manager Thomas Lockyear as he explores the impetus for some of these wrong-headed initiatives to transform “worthless swampland” into fertile soil and their parallels to present-day development.

“Night at the Museum is a action-adventure-comedy that comes to life by night. Good-hearted dreamer Larry Daley (Ben Stiller), despite being perpetually down on his luck, thinks he’s destined for something big. But even he could never have imagined how “big,” when he accepts what appears to be a menial job as a graveyard-shift security guard at a museum of natural history. Amidst the chaos of exhibits that come to life after dark, the only person Larry can turn to for advice is a wax figure of President Teddy Roosevelt (Robin Williams), who helps our hero harness the bedlam, stop a nefarious plot, and save the museum.

THURSDAY, FEBRUARY 5 • 5:00-7:00PM
FineMark Bank & Trust, Pelican Bay Office
800 Laurel Oak Dr, Naples, FL 34108
Enjoy cocktails and hors d’oeuvres prepared by FineMark’s Naples Executive Chef, Richard Rowland as you view a collection of art curated by United Arts Collier.
To RSVP: Kindly respond by January 29th to Patty Luppy:
(239) 963-0753 or pluppy@finemarkbank.com
Exhibition available for viewing by appointment from January 27th through March 19th, 2026.
Under the Lights brings together the work of UAC Member Artists, Wendy Wagner and Joan Sonnenberg in a dialogue about presence, perception, and the quiet drama embedded in everyday moments. Like a stage illuminated just before a performance begins, the exhibition invites viewers to slow down and notice what is often overlooked.
Together, Wagner and Sonnenberg explore what it means to be under the lights, not only in performance, but in life. The exhibition considers how attention transforms the ordinary into the extraordinary. In this space, the arts converge not as spectacle, but as lived experience: reflective, resonant, and enduring.
JOAN BRECHIN SONNENBERG
www.joanbsonnenberg.com
Born in 1930 Chester, Pennsylvania, Joan Sonnenberg is a contemporary artist that abstracts her everyday life with her passion for printmaking techniques and working on a large-scale. A mother of four grown children, Sonnenberg moved to Florida in 1997 and since 2000 has been based in Naples. Petite, but with robust energy and insatiable curiosity, Sonnenberg maintains her lifelong studio practice working every day with sustained vigor. Her daily 4-mile walks continually inspire new ideas. Joan began her studio practice as a printmaker creating large scale, mural-size etchings
inspired by images from photographs she took as she walked along the streets of the Northeast. Living in Pennsylvania’s Rust Belt for much of her life provided an abundance of industrial references. Evolving from printmaking to painting, much of the same kaleidoscope patterns and shapes remain. Joan strives to convey the harmonious coexistence of abstraction and realism, transcending and encompassing both doctrines.
WENDY WAGNER
www.wendywagnerart.com
I create drawings and paintings that explore the quiet depths of people and objects. My work is introspective- tactile, sensitive and reflective- seeking to capture not just form, but the emotions and stories beneath the surface.
I look for beauty in imperfection, with its subtle asymmetries and the quiet marks of time and experience.
Through texture, tone and composition, I aim to evoke a sense of stillness and
contemplation, inviting viewers to engage with the seen and unseen in a personal, intimate way. I received my B.F.A. in Painting from Moore College of Art and Design. To further my studies, I completed the four-year Advanced Fine Art Program at Studio Incamminatii n Philadelphia. I currently live in Naples, Florida, where I have a studio and gallery.

Moonlight and Magnolias
February 5-22, 2026
at Arts Center Theatre in Marco Town Center
1089 N. Collier Blvd Marco Island, FL
Directed by Marlene Strollo
THE STORY: 1939 Hollywood is abuzz. Legendary producer David O. Selznick has shut down production of his new epic, Gone with the Wind, a film adaptation of Margaret Mitchell’s novel. The screenplay, you see, just doesn’t work. So what’s an all-powerful movie mogul to do? While fending off the film’s stars, gossip columnists and his own father-in-law, Selznick sends a car for famed screenwriter Ben Hecht and pulls formidable director Victor Fleming from the set of The Wizard of Oz. Summoning both to his office, he locks the doors, closes the shades, and on a diet of bananas and peanuts, the three men labor over five days to fashion a screenplay that will become the blueprint for one of the most successful and beloved films of all time.

As wildfires rage across national forests turned to tinderboxes
Event Details
As wildfires rage across national forests turned to tinderboxes — their historic stewards driven from the land or forbidden to tend it — while our waterways waver between historic droughts and catastrophic floods, it just may be time to stop fighting to control the earth and work to heal it. It stands to reason that if we wish to understand what the world we live in is telling us, we should seek the counsel of those who already speak its language.
This new exhibit, created in part through a collaborative effort with the Miccosukee Tribe of Indians of Florida, seeks to re-enforce the relevance and underscore the importance of recent initiatives by organizations, institutions, and even governments — from the Federal level on down — to integrate the knowledge and experience of indigenous cultures into policies and decision-making.
When pioneer settlers began to colonize South Florida in the late 1800s, the most successful of their lot were those who not only befriended but also listened to and learned from the people who had called the Everglades their home for centuries.
Sharing the Path explores both the past influence and the future possibilities of implementing traditional indigenous knowledge in everything from land management to decision-making. The exhibit uses the words and voices of indigenous people from South Florida and beyond to communicate the shared belief that all living things are connected and how that understanding can aid us in navigating challenges in everything from global diplomacy to our most personal relationships: with each other, ourselves, and the earth itself.

Event Details

Our current temporary exhibit, Sharing the Path, explores the continuing stewardship of the biologically diverse and environmentally sensitive region known as the Everglades by our region’s indigenous residents. In this talk given by renowned environmental educator and member of the Miccosukee Tribe of Indians, Betty Osceola, guests will learn firsthand about the indigenous population’s spiritual connection to the land—the home of their ancestors—and their determination to honor, protect, and defend it as sacred ground. Betty Osceola was the recipient of the Marjory Stoneman Douglas Defender of the Everglades award in 2024. She is also a tribal judge, has appeared in numerous documentary films and television shows (including the Disney feature “Path of the Panther” and Jeff Corwin’s “Wildlife Nation”) and continues to work tirelessly to advocate for the Everglades.
