M*A*S*H at Carrollwood Cultural Center

Dates: 5/15/2026 - 5/24/2026

📍 Theatre:
Carrollwood Cultural Center


4537 Lowell Road
Tampa, FL

Phone: 813-922-8167


M*A*S*H stands for Mobile Army Surgical Hospital, and joining it are two unpredictable madcaps, Hawkeye (Michael Neary) and Duke (Mackley Fogarty). They can’t be dealt with casually, however, because they are also two of the best chest surgeons in South Korea.

Hawkeye and Duke decide to wage a campaign to get a young Korean (Max Rodriguez) to the United States and entered in a good school. The thread of this effort helps to tie together the pileup of comic adventures that pyramid right before your eyes! Hawkeye has a scene with a woman psychiatrist (Janice Nepon-Sixt) who believes he’s been trying to lobster-trap mermaids in a rice paddy! There’s a jolly encounter with the baby-talking Bonwit sisters (Janice Nepon-Sixt, Mary Kay Cyrus, Carol Sheldon), the worst tap-dancing act the U.S.O. ever sent overseas, and a sergeant (Mike Lowe) is selling dumb GIs fishing rights in the Bay of Phum. Radar O’Reilly (Joshua Eberhart), a soldier with exceptional hearing, anticipates events before they occur. The proprietor of a painless dental clinic is cured of dark moods by the recreation of an old monster movie—and a monster! It’s all here, including a little romance mixed in with dramatic moments and a genuine love of life.

M*A*S*H is presented through a special arrangement with the Dramatic Publishing Company of Woodstock, NY.
