Elizabeth Dimon is a fine actor and singer; Florence Foster Jenkins was not. But sometimes it takes a person of great talent to portray someone whose ''gifts'' were modest in the extreme. Dimon, above as Jenkins, will portray the delusional coloratura soprano in Souvenir, Stephen Temperley's play-with-music opening Saturday at Palm Beach Dramaworks, 322 Banyan Blvd., West Palm Beach. Tom Kenaston is featured as Jenkins' long-suffering accompanist. The show runs through Aug. 2, with performances at 8 p.m. Wednesday-Saturday, 2 p.m. Saturday-Sunday. Tickets are $42 for evening shows, $40 for matinees. Call 561-514-4042 or visit www.palmbeachdramaworks.org.
