- Island City Stage Presents At the Wedding by Bryna Turner From August 21 – September 21
You are cordially invited to the best day of someone else's life… but what if it's also the worst day of yours? Follow Carlo as she navigates the highs and lows of attending her ex’s wedding while dealing with her own heartbreak in Island City Stage ’s South Florida premiere of At the Wedding by Bryna Turner , running August 21 – September 21. Tickets are on sale now. “As with real weddings. At the Wedding is perfect for summer. It's a biting comedy but also has a lot of heart and hope,” said Andy Rogow, artistic director of Island City Stage and the show’s director. “One of the things I love about this play is that it truly connects with anyone who has had heartbreak in their life or watched an ‘ex’ marry someone else. Audiences will also recognize all of the guests at this wedding - the perfect bridesmaid, the inebriated mother-of-the-bride, the sibling who'd rather be somewhere else and the romantic who wants to propose to his partner during the reception. It's all great fun!” At the Wedding premiered off-Broadway at Lincoln Center's Claire Tow Theater in 2022. A story of loss, love and redemption, the play focuses on the world's loneliest (and wittiest) single woman, Carlo, as she crashes her ex-girlfriend's wedding to a man. Through a series of flirtations, conversations, and collisions with past lovers, old enemies, new friends and perfect strangers, Carlo strives to understand whether or not heartbreak is a permanent human condition. New York Theatre Guide called At the Wedding “Bitterly funny... wisecracking and wisdom-sharing about the unbreakable bond between love and pain... there's a fun time to be had at this wedding.” The New York Times shared, "Fresh and trenchant... The lines are funny; Turner has a boxer’s sense of the two-punch rhythm of jokes... Authorial patience is part of what makes At the Wedding so fresh; though there are plenty of one-liners, it is not a yuk-yuk comedy foisting its laughs at you or over-signaling its intentions... Also revivifying is the way Turner reshapes the wedding genre for our time, inviting new characters to the party.” Island City Stage’s premiere production of At the Wedding is directed by Rogow. An ensemble production, the show stars Hannah Benitez, Sandi Stock, Hannah Hayley, Timothy Mark Davis , Sheena O. Murray , Elizabeth Price and Steven Guez . Hannah Benitez (Carlo) is an actor/musician who's appeared in over 30 AEA productions including the original casts of Jethro Compton’s Wolf’s Blood and Here There Are Blueberries .

As a screenwriter, she was most recently in the writer’s room for Joconde , directed by Jodi Foster, currently in development with LAMF. Sandi Stock (Leigh) is a multi-hyphenate artist who has been working in professional theatre for nearly 15 years. They are best known on South Florida stages as the Playboy Bunny from Miami Motel Stories and the embodiment of “Sloth” in the Drama League Award-winning production of 7 Deadly Sins (Miami New Drama).

Directing and working with the next generation of artists is a special passion of theirs. You may also find them writing and developing new theatrical works, performing with Karen Peterson Dancers, and making music under the moniker Not Stock.

- Harrison Ford Entertainingly Reveals Glenmorangie as Official Whisky of Formula 1
“Nice”, says actor in witty verdict on whisky’s pioneering partnership. Glenmorangie Highland single malt Scotch whisky today becomes the Official Whisky of Formula 1® – the world’s most prestigious motor-racing competition. Marking the union of two icons dedicated to taking their crafts to new heights and steeped in heritage, this landmark alliance is part of a decade-long collaboration forged by Glenmorangie’s parent company LVMH and Formula 1®. Glenmorangie’s partnership is revealed by another icon – Harrison Ford – star of the whisky’s brand campaign, in an entertaining short film infused with his trademark wit. Meanwhile, Glenmorangie will celebrate the collaboration trackside this weekend, at the FORMULA 1 QATAR AIRWAYS BRITISH GRAND PRIX 2025, by sharing a Harrison Ford-inspired photo-moment with racegoers. For more than 180 years, Glenmorangie’s whisky creators have been relentlessly imaginative in their pursuit of excellence. They distil their more elegant spirit in Scotland’s tallest stills on their mission to continually bring new flavours and possibilities to whisky, making Glenmorangie the world’s most highly awarded Highland single malt. Formula 1®, which this year celebrates 75 years as the pinnacle of motor racing, is Glenmorangie’s kindred spirit. Devoted to setting new standards in performance, and with an equally proud heritage, Formula 1® is a sport based in innovation and relentless progress. Ford, who plays himself in Glenmorangie’s humorous brand campaign Once Upon a Time in Scotland , marks the partnership in a new short film. And, with the same amusing understatement he uses for Glenmorangie’s whisky, Ford blesses the collaboration in a word: “Nice”. Glenmorangie, which strongly advocates only alcohol-free driving, will captivate racegoers with experiences and serves celebrating the partners’ shared commitment to excellence, throughout the 2025 Formula 1® season. Fittingly, the partnership will be marked with a special activation at the Formula 1® FORMULA 1 QATAR AIRWAYS BRITISH GRAND PRIX 2025 at Silverstone, from July 4, 2025. As the site of the first official Formula 1 World Championship in 1950, Silverstone holds a special place in F1 heritage. There, fans will be invited to enjoy an exclusive Glenmorangie experience showcasing Glenmorangie cocktails and the exclusive Eagle Speedster Jaguar E-Type used by Harrison Ford in the whisky’s brand film. Racegoers will be invited to recreate a moment from the film by taking a seat in this classic car, revered for its craftsmanship. Caspar MacRae, President and CEO of Glenmorangie, said: “I am thrilled to set in motion Glenmorangie’s landmark partnership with Formula 1 – the pinnacle of motor racing. We share with F1 a great pride in our heritage and an unstoppable desire to reach new heights of excellence. We look forward to spectacular performances and imaginative serves and hope our collaboration will inspire and excite racegoers throughout Formula 1’s 75 th anniversary year – and beyond.” Emily Prazer, Chief Commercial Officer at Formula 1, said: “As part of our 10-year deal with LVMH, we are delighted to welcome Glenmorangie from the Moët Hennessy Maisons collection as the Official Whisky of Formula 1. We have both been mastering our craft for many years, and we share a commitment to refinement and perfection delivered over time. With our mutual respect for tradition, it is absolutely fitting that we are launching our collaboration at the Formula 1 British Grand Prix at Silverstone – the circuit that hosted our first race 75 years ago – and from there around the world for many years to come.” For more information, visit: www.glenmorangie.com By ML Staff.

- 7 Limited Edition Single Malts Worth Hunting Down
There’s something irresistibly exciting about limited edition single malt whiskies. Whether it’s an elusive bottling from a silent distillery, a special anniversary release, or a rare cask strength expression, these whiskies capture the hearts of collectors and connoisseurs alike. Not only do they have beautiful packaging and truly unique flavour profiles, but they also come with an exclusivity that makes you proud to own them. If you’re on the lookout for bottles worth the chase, we’re looking at seven limited edition single malts that are actually worth spending your time on. Image by chathuporn / Adobestock The Macallan Fine and Rare Collection The Macallan’s Fine & Rare series is one of the most famous limited-edition whisky ranges in the world. Requiring several decades of distillation, these bottles represent the pinnacle of the distillery’s craftsmanship. Bottles like the Macallan 1926 Fine & Rare are considered somewhat legendary among whisky enthusiasts, and they’ve even raised record-breaking prices at auctions around the world. Plenty of whisky lovers want to hunt a bottle of this collection down for themselves because they’re exquisitely aged and beautifully complex. Their prices will only increase too, so if you ever want to sell your bottle on, chances are you’ll get a pretty penny on top of what you originally paid! Glenfiddich 50 Year Old Only a tiny handful of Glenfiddich 50 Year Old bottles have ever been released, making it one of the rarest bottles from one of Scotland’s best-known distilleries. Bottled in batches of just fifty, this whisky is known for its depth and elegant layers of oak, dried fruit, and subtle smoke. It’s up to you if you choose to open your bottle and enjoy it to its fullest potential! As one of the oldest single malts ever bottled by Glenfiddich, this is a true piece of whisky history, making it perfect for serious collectors and those seeking a legacy bottle. We recommend this as a perfect beginner’s piece to hunt down if you’re serious about growing a prestigious collection. Port Ellen Annual Releases Port Ellen is a distillery that closed its doors in 1983, but its cult following has only grown since! Diageo has since released a series of annual limited edition bottles from the dwindling stocks of this legendary Islay distillery. Each new release offers buyers a different interpretation of Port Ellen’s famously smoky, maritime character. This is an incredible opportunity for whisky collectors, but you have to act quickly. The available stock decreases with every new release drop, and prices inevitably increase along with it. These bottles aren’t just rare - once they’re gone, they’re gone forever. Get in on the action while you can! Image by Igor Dudchak / Adobestock GlenDronach Cask Strength Batch Releases For whisky lovers who appreciate big, bold sherried whiskies, GlenDronach’s limited batch cask strength releases are a must-have. Matured in Pedro Ximénez and Oloroso sherry casks, these whiskies offer rich and indulgent notes of dark chocolate, spiced fruitcake, and roasted nuts. Batch releases are so special because no two batches are ever the same. This means that your bottle is unique to your specific time of purchase, making it all the more exciting for whisky hunters. Certain variations have gained cult status among whisky fans, so if you can find one of these on the market, you’re golden! Ardbeg Supernova Ardbeg’s Supernova series is one of the peatiest whiskies ever produced, and each limited edition release is met with huge excitement from whisky lovers all around the world. Despite its intense smoke, it balances complexity with sweetness, citrus, and maritime notes. Supernova’s high peat levels make it a standout even within Islay’s famously smoky lineup, and the fact that so few bottles are made for the market means they tend to sell out quickly. Trying to get them on the secondary market is much higher and leaves you with much higher resale value, so mark your calendars from original drops with the best chance of adding one to your collection! Balvenie Tun 1509 Series The Tun 1509 project comes from Master Blender David Stewart, who has created some of the most sought-after limited-edition whiskies in recent years. By marrying a number of different aged single malts in a large oak marrying tun, David Stewart creates layered whiskies that offer something truly special to the market. Each batch from the Tun 1509 project is unique and offers a different combination of cask types and flavour profiles. For those who love to explore the endless variety that the whisky market is known and loved for, this series delivers in more ways than one. Highland Park Orcadian Vintage Series Highland Park’s Orcadian Vintage Series celebrates the distillery’s rich Orkney heritage, with limited edition releases from vintage years like 1964, 1968, and 1970. Known for their balance of heather smoke, honey, and spice, these whiskies have become huge favourites among collectors and connoisseurs. These bottles of whisky capture a piece of Highland Park’s history and give a great insight into the elegance of older, well-balanced peated whisky. Peated whiskey is becoming increasingly rare in the modern market, so finding a bottle of Highland Park Orcadian Vintage Series is a great gem!
