Review: A Dazzling ROCKY HORROR SHOW Ushers in an Overwhelming Feeling of Love at Jobsite Theater
by Drew Eberhard - July 14, 2024
Something we knew we always wanted, but unexpected is how much we would need a show like this. Who’d of thought, Rocky Horror in July? If ever there was a truer testament to the old saying, “If you build it, they will come...,” then that would be none other than Jobsite and their production of Richard O’Brien’s titillating cult behemoth The Rocky Horror Show.

News of the veto two weeks ago was obviously bad for the arts communities--children’s museums, performing arts groups, youth programs, dance troupes. But then came the distasteful cherry on top, the reasoning why such severe action took place.

Review: Bridget Bean's One Woman Show THE DROPPING WELL at the Tampa Fringe Festival
by Peter Nason - June 12, 2024
Bridget Bean is a born storyteller. You can tell as she immediately enters the stage that she is 100% in her element. If there’s anything we’ve learned from her past One Woman Shows (including Shirley Valentine and her Titanic Fringe piece from two years ago), it’s that this format works beautifully with her personality, her expressive face and that mesmerizing speaking voice.

Previews: URINETOWN at MAD Theatre Of Tampa
by Deborah Bostock-Kelley - June 11, 2024
In today's politically charged climate, URINETOWN mirrors society's extremes. Director Cory Boyas encourages his young performers to delve into the material's political themes, reflecting, 'We are a divided country... so how can we not engage with it?' He sees the musical as representing the ideological spectrum, where 'Urinetown parallels this dynamic quite nicely.'

Review: Harmonie del Sur's BLOWING WIND: THE ORIGINAL NOISEMAKERS at the Tampa Fringe Festival
by Peter Nason - June 11, 2024
The Tampa Fringe Festival is like a Smorgasbord of the Arts; so many great works to choose from, some small, some large, some cool, some wacky. You get over a week to fill your plate with all of these unforgettable, mostly yummy works. If you’re lucky enough to get into the wild SMUTTY BURLESQUE NERD: VULVA VA-VOOMS SHIP OF THESEUS or the memorable CAPTAIN HAVOC & THE BIG-TITTY BOG WITCHES, then you will be talking about it for days. But what about the smaller shows, the ones that don’t have the words “vulva” or “titty” in their titles?

Review: TampaRep's NEXT TO NORMAL is a Theatrical Triumph at USF Theatre
by Deborah Bostock-Kelley - June 03, 2024
TampaRep's NEXT TO NORMAL was, in one word, perfection. Expertly directed by Emilia Sargent, it was a theatrical triumph. The proof was that I could look across the stage and see patrons wiping their eyes and hear the quiet sniffling behind me. The intimate performance on Saturday night was a masterful blend of raw emotion, superb acting, and technical brilliance, leaving us spellbound.
