Are you married and love live stage performances? Here’s a musical happening in Winter Park, Fl that you might like.

Taking place until the 14th of February is Married Alive!, a musical onstage at Winter Park Playhouse that presents a humorous take on married life.

Although definitely not an original plot, Married Alive! is still a fun series of sketches that deal with marriage, married sex, babies, Viagra, sports metaphors, and a whole lot more. Each subject is cleverly woven together by songs performed by talented actors.

Michael Edwards, arguably the most known actor associated with Winter Park Playhouse, plays a middle-aged man who is somehow dragged into the marriage service of a couple he doesn’t even know. His performance of a cranky and exasperated middle-aged husband is undoubtedly the most popular.

Married Alive! isn’t really what we’d call “Broadway worthy,” but the material is rescued by excellent actors and actresses time and time again. The musical’s director, Roy Alan, has in his arsenal a talented cast of veterans and newcomers. All of them are undeniably great at what they do.

Again, check out Married Alive! at the Winter Park Playhouse in Winter Park Fl. The musical will be running until the 14th of February, Valentine’s Day.

The City of Winter Park, Fl, recently picked DigitalPersona, Inc. to take care of the Criminal Justice Information System (CJIS) mandates authentication component. The city selected DigitalPersona Pro as well as DigitalPersona Privacy Manager Pro to secure their local networks and programs used at Winter Park’s City Hall.

DigitalPersona, Inc. is one of the word’s leading providers of fingerprint identity and authentication solutions for businesses, program developers, and regular consumers. The company develops software and hardware that secures the sensitive information of people and businesses.

Among the facilities the new systems will “keep watch” over are the department of motor vehicles, electric division, as well as the city’s roster of emergency and police vehicles. Furthermore, confidential and sensitive information is kept secure thanks to digital signing and use of an ultra-sophisticated encryption code for e-mails and important documents.

Before DigitalPersona, Inc. was chosen by the City of Winter Park, they used usernames and passwords to protect networks from intruders and unauthorized personnel. But every hacker worth his gold knows this level of security is too easy to break into. The CJIS mandate however, called for Winter Park to utilize advanced authentication systems. Officials from the city commented that DigitalPersona was the best choice due to their excellent track record.

Beginning the 15th of February, Monday, High Performance Sports Management, Inc. will be the official management company behind Winter Park, Fl’s Azalea Lane Tennis Center, situated right along Azalea Lane.

Those who attend the celebrations will get the opportunity to meet the pros behind High Performance and marvel at the great improvements made on the tennis center – these include brand new resurfaced courts, as well as a practice wall for lone players who want to hone their game, as well as for squash fanatics.

New services one can expect from the tennis center include a new Pro shop, beer & wine, as well as food service. Busted a racket? You can have it stringed by the center’s employees for you. And if you simply like to watch the game, expect the Azalea Lane Tennis Center to play host to big tournaments for youth and adults.

Indeed, the new and enhanced center offers a brand new experience to current members, as well as to new ones.
