SUMMER AT THE WICK
THE WICK
“In April of 2013, Mrs. Wick acquired the former Caldwell Theatre Company space in north Boca Raton, resurrecting the vacant property into the Wick Theatre and Costume Museum which opened for business in September with its inaugural production of The Sound of Music. The production was heralded by the press and patrons alike, making the Wick Theatre a formidable contender in professional theatre in South Florida despite its newcomer status.
The Costume Museum followed suit in November, opening its doors to nearly sold-out crowds in early November of 2013. Housing the original wardrobes from over 35 Broadway productions and revivals, the museum has entertained thousands of patrons in a relatively short period of time. The two facilities now function together making the Wick Theatre and Costume Museum an arts cornerstone in Palm Beach County.
Brazilian Independence Day takes center stage in Downtown Boca in this FREE event where lavish costumed dancers sway to samba and bossa nova melodies. Feel the beat and taste the fabulous foods and flavors of Rio.
