Carbonell Awards Welcomes Three New Members To Board Of Directors
Debbie Calabria, Dale Edwards, and Zaylin Yates join the South Florida theater honors board
The Carbonell Awards, South Florida's Theatre & Arts Honors, has announced three new members to the nonprofit organization's Board of Directors, including Debbie Calabria representing the Cultural Council for Palm Beach County, Dale Edwards representing the Adrienne Arsht Center for the Performing Arts of Miami-Dade County, and Zaylin Yates representing the Broward County Cultural Division.
As Marketing & Cultural Events Manager for the Cultural Council, Debbie Calabria oversees all the organization's major special events, including the annual Muse Awards, exhibition openings, fundraising parties, and the popular Cultural & Cocktails series that concluded last year after 20 seasons. A resident of Palm Beach Gardens, she is active in numerous local nonprofit organizations including Leadership Palm Beach County, The ARC, the Northern Palm Beach Cultural Collaborative, and the Jupiter Light House
As Vice President of Marketing for the Arsht Center since 2021, Dale Edwards is responsible for marketing and sales efforts for all presentations, including Broadway, dance, theater and music, as well as overseeing institutional branding and various educational and community engagement initiatives. He previously worked with Houston Grand Opera and such NYC-based cultural institutions as Alvin Ailey Dance Theater, Disney Theatrical Productions, Manhattan Theatre Club, and The Metropolitan Opera.
As the Founding Manager Director of Brévo Theatre in Pompano Beach, Zaylin Yates is dedicated to amplifying the voices of young Black artists and showcasing underrepresented talent across theatre, dance, and performance. Through inclusive, boundary-pushing storytelling and color-conscious casting, he champions new works that give rise to diverse perspectives and cultural dialogue. Yates also serves as a Manager of Community Engagement at the Adrienne Arsht Center for the Performing Arts in Miami.
‘With our historic 50th annual ceremony coming in 2027, the Carbonell Awards is excited about the deep commitment to theatrical excellence and cultural diversity that our three new members are bringing to the Board,” said Gary Schweikhart, president of the Carbonell Board of Directors.
