Vote on Landmarking Poinciana Playhouse and Poinciana Plaza |
Click below to see Our Plan for the Theater The Celebrity Room Ceiling Mural by Robert Bushnell The mural is 45 feet long by 30 feet wide and is titled " Venetian Festival," although some liked to call it the scene of a Venetian carnival. It was depicted in early Royal Poinciana Playhouse programs, including those of 1963 and 1967. It took artist Robert Bushnell two years to complete. Images were painted with oils onto four panels and then installed by artisans form New York. It was unveiled in 1957. It contained portraits of 125 international stars of stage and screen, a few internationally famous people, and local Palm Beach luminaries such as John and Jane Volk, Frank Hale, Paul Crabtree and Lilly Pulitzer. Some claim that President Kennedy was a later addition. Mural portraits included Clark Gable, Joan Crawford, Helen Hayes, Mary Martin, Fred Astaire, Tallulah Bankhead, Katharine Cornell, and Yul Brynner.
