DayStar Studio Productions has announced that the groundbreaking rock musical SPRING AWAKENING will play at the Alexis and Jim Pugh Theater at the Dr. Phillips Center for the Performing Arts June 19 through 26.

Tickets to SPRING AWAKENING at the Dr. Phillips Center go on sale Friday, May 6, at 10AM.

Just as on Broadway, the show will have a limited number of on-stage seats available for purchase. These seats provide an exciting and unique way for guests to experience the performance with the action of the show taking place all around them.

Winner of eight Tony Awards including Best Musical, SPRING AWAKENING follows a group of young students as they navigate through teenage self-discovery and coming of age anxiety. Set against the backdrop of a repressive and provincial late 19th century Germany, SPRING AWAKENING is a powerful celebration of youth and rebellion.

Based on the infamous 1891 Frank Wedekind play, the landmark musical is a stirring combination of morality, sexuality and rock & roll that is exhilarating audiences across the nation like no other musical in years. SPRING AWAKENING features an award-winning and electrifying story with a score by Duncan Sheik, book and lyrics by Steven Sater, and original direction and choreography by Michael Mayer and Bill T. Jones, respectively.

WHEN:  Friday, June 24, 2016 @ 8pm
WHERE:  Dr. Phillips Center for the Performing Arts
COST: Starting at $49

According to the National Association of Realtors™ (NAR) 2015 Profile of Home Buyers and Sellers, single women made up 18% of all first-time homebuyers last year, second only to married couples who made up 54% of total buyers. Whether they are young, single and no longer want to rent, or newly divorced, the amount of single women becoming homeowners greatly outnumbers single males (11%). A survey of recent home buyers revealed some interesting trends about this rapidly growing group:

• Average Age: 32 years old
• Average Income: $49,400
• Single women are more likely to become preapproved for a mortgage in order to know their budget at the beginning of the home buying process and to be able to make a move if they find their dream home.
• Many female homebuyers think long-term when considering buying a home, often considering what amenities they may need in the near future.

So what do women like best about homeownership? They believe that they are investing in their future by building equity and financial security. They are also very happy to no longer be paying their landlord’s mortgage payment. Being independent and having control over their environment is a key factor.

It appears that it is not marriage before mortgage any longer, for either gender. As we reported yesterday, unmarried couples make up 13% of buyers, while single males account for 11%.

Bottom Line

If owning a home of your own has always been your dream, meet with a local real estate professional who can help determine if your dream can become a reality sooner than you think.

To show our city’s strength, I invite you all to join me next week at Lake Eola, at sunset, to silently honor and remember the events that transpired on the early morning of Sunday 12 June 2016. The City Beautiful was victim to the largest single mass shooting in our nation’s history. All I ask is one lap around the lake, starting and ending on the corner of 512 E Washington St Orlando, FL 32801, where we will leave our candles and set up a memorial. I encourage everyone bring candles, cups and or flowers to leave behind. I will personally provide about 100 but thousands have been offered as donations. If everyone brought something to share that would be nice to show our community’s strength and support one another. Everyone is encouraged to bring flowers, candles, customs signs of peace (nothing political this is just as sign of love for those loss) , Flags of any peaceful Country/ organization/ branch of service, etc.

WHEN:  Sunday 19 June 2016 -@ 8pm-9pm
WHERE:  Lake Eola – Starting and ending on the corner of 512 E Washington St Orlando, FL 32801
