When it opens, the arts center will offer patrons two options: a 2,700-seat theater, geared toward Broadway-style shows, and a 300-seat community-style theater. The arts center also will feature a 1,700-seat acoustical gem designed for symphonies, ballet and grand opera. Unfortunately, it won't be part of the fall 2014 grand opening, a casualty of the economic downturn that delayed today's groundbreaking by a couple of years. A new capital campaign that's needed to raise $65 million to help build that stage and fund an endowment to operate the center kicks off today. As the economy recovers, officials with the arts center are banking on contributions rising along with it. - Blogging Fringe

The Orlando City Council on May 23 voted 6-1 to break ground June 23 on the planned Dr. Phillips Center for the Performing Arts. The lone dissenting vote was Commissioner Phil Diamond, who plans to run for city mayor in 2012. Diamond was concerned the center would cost more to build and operate than originally expected, and that those monetary needs would have to be shouldered by taxpayers. The remaining council members each showed their support for the project including Commissioner Daisy Lynum, who said her resounding support for the project was due to the 3,000 jobs it is expected to create during construction and operations. The project is expected to take up to 37 months to build. - Blogging Fringe

To those who know of the Fringe but haven't been, its flamboyant, anything-goes image might be a deterrent, said Terry Olson. He co-founded the Fringe in 1992 and now heads Orange County Arts & Cultural Affairs. "Orange County is an interesting mix of people. There's a strong conservative base that is pretty balanced with a more progressive base," he said. "That's always a balancing act. It could help if they could find ways to make people think it's not just madness." - Blogging Fringe
