The latest reviews and critic recommendations from Tampa.
INVENTING VAN GOGH is a beautifully written and acted time-skipping love letter to art history, an accurate examination of the struggles each artist (not just Van Gogh) faces in the creation of something new, and a mystery in a world that has a hard time telling the difference between what is genuin
Patrick Stone is a Van Gogh-hating painter suffering from artist's block.
Despite some flaws, EOT's HAIR is a high-energy musical that's not to be missed, especially if you want to re-live those glory days of Be-Ins, peace signs and flower power.
Suncoast AIDS Theatre Project presents A Prelude to Pride: 'All About Steve,' a play on the 1950's classic film starring Bette Davis and Anne Baxter.
Music director Mark Sforzini and stage director Bill Leavengood have struck gold with their top-flight cast.

By all means GO SEE THIS PRODUCTION.
The audience repeatedly howled with laughter.
Well, hold on to your hats, because this production 'IS' SPECTACULAR! It is a Magical, Dazzling, Timeless, and Elegant production! YOU MUST SEE IT, TO BELIEVE IT! 5 STARS!!!
Carrollwood Players have made their mark in the Tampa Bay Theatre scene, by producing innovative programming and exceptional, quality productions.
The electricity in Carol Morsani Hall, at the Straz Center in Tampa, for the opening performance of the National Tour of 'THE BOOK OF MORMON', was the closest I have experienced here, to the excitement of a Broadway opening night yet! The SOLD-OUT house was simply percolating, in anticipation of th
