20 art&culture; UP FRONT 5 TO SEE: GIFT OF A LIFETIME South Florida residents Isadore and Kelly Fried- man spent more than three decades acquiring a top- quality collection of artwork, with photography holding a special place in the heart of Isadore. The images on dis- play in Photography from the Bequest of Isadore and Kelly Friedman put the longtime museum trustee in touch with a world he loved, as well as transported him to a familiar time and place: his childhood in New York. During his lifetime, Friedman amassed an enviable collection that includes some of the most respected names in the medium: Edward Steichen, Helmut Newton, and Margaret Bourke-White among them. Now he shares his passion with the residents of Palm Beach County—and you don't want to miss it.

In Taps, Tunes, and Tall Tales, the 6-foot-6 superstar will tap-dance the night way, telling tales and delivering tunes along the way. The evening will benefit the Maltz, Florida's largest professional, nonprofit regional theater.

Billy and Me is a "memory play," nar- rated by Tennessee Williams, about his tempestuous friendship with fellow play- wright William Inge. "Inge and Williams were friends, but neither one of them has ever spoken on record about their relationship in any detail," Teachout has said. "That gave me the elbow room I needed to imagine for myself what might have taken place between them." Palm Beach Dramaworks' producing artistic direc- tor William Hayes, who suggested the idea to Teachout, will direct the premiere. Palm Beach Dramaworks, West Palm Beach; December 8 to January 7; $66 general admission; palmbeachdramaworks.org; 561.514.4042 DOUBLE DOSE OF JOY Acclaimed singer-songwriters Will and Anthony Nunziata showcase their soaring tenor voices and exquisite harmonies in Broadway Holiday.

This one-night-only show is the perfect way to kick off the holidays.
