One of the most outrageously funny shows in the history of Carrollwood Players is BACK, with a holiday twist! What happens when a group of actors walks onto the stage to perform a comedy they’ve never heard of?

In Play it By Ear, our actors have NO advance knowledge of the play they must perform. In fact, no one knows what might happen until the audience chooses one of several colored boxes containing scripts for several plays.

The only thing that’s certain is that all of the possible plays have a holiday theme. And they are all fun!

With the help of a stage full of props and costumes that might come in handy, our cast will perform whatever play the audience chooses ON THE SPOT.

Will the play be about Thanksgiving? Christmas? Hanukkah? New Year’s Eve? Nobody knows!

Don’t miss this wild evening of experimental theater that is sure to be a laugh riot!

Presented with the support of the Hillsborough County Board of County Commissioners.
