The Ormond Beach Historical Trust (OBHT) is proud to present 'Wild Dreams: Discovering Henry M. Flagler,' starring Paul J. Jellinek. 'Wild Dreams' is a one-man show in two acts revealing the fascinating story of Henry Flagler. After the show's sellout premiere in June, OBHT has decided to present this fascinating performance twice more on November 1st & 2nd.

Flagler, who started as John D. Rockefeller's business partner at Standard Oil Corporation, was ultimately responsible for opening up the state of Florida with his creation of the Florida East Coast Railway with its many resort hotels, including the Hotel Ormond (constructed 1888; demolished 1992).

Jellinek, a New York native who now resides in Palm Coast, has performed various roles including Daddy Warbucks, Don Quixote, and Nicky Arnstein. He received his theatrical
training from the Herbert Berghoff Studio, Neighborhood Playhouse in New York City. While researching the possibility of establishing a theatre group in Palm Coast, he met his co-playwright, Jill Kamp Melton. She suggested he try his hand at crafting a one-man show about Flagler. He launched into a months-long research project, working with a history professor from Flagler College in St. Augustine to create his play. 'The last year has been a labor of love for me,' Jellinek said.

The show will be presented in the Trust's historic Anderson-Price Memorial Building (1916), originally constructed as Ormond Beach's first public library. Formerly the Ormond Beach Woman's Club, the classical revival building is one of Ormond Beach's architectural gems. Proceeds from 'Wild Dreams' will assist OBHT in its efforts to restore and preserve this important structure.

The Ormond Beach Historical Trust has received grants and support from the City of Ormond Beach, the County of Volusia, the Florida Humanities Council, and the Florida Division of Historical Resources.
