A Comedy by Jones, Hope, Wooten
Directed by Jamie Bierchen
Laugh with these beleaguered bridesmaids as they navigate the choppy waters of love and matrimony. Libby Ruth, Deedra, Monette, and Charlie are committed to the notion that careers, waistlines, and even marriages may disappear, but real friendships last a lifetime. They repeatedly struggle to stage the perfect wedding in spite of fistfights at the altar, runaway brides, and the mistaken release of a flock of white doves on the first day of hunting season. Always A Bridesmaid is a tale of loyal and determined women who definitively answer the question, “Just how far are you willing to go to keep a promise to a friend?”

Knowledge & Nibbles – Anclote Key Lighthouse: A Historical Monument Three Miles Offshore
2024-05-21 14:00 - 16:00 | Heritage Museum, 100 Beekman Lane, Tarpon Springs, FL, 34689, United States
Three miles offshore of Tarpon Springs stands a historic sentinel, the Anclote Lighthouse. Built in 1887, the same year Tarpon Springs was founded, it is 110 feet tall and designed with a skeleton architecture to allow storm winds and surges to blow through. The structure itself is made of cast iron to withstand the salty air. There are 127 steps to the gallery deck with the light and light deck above that. Both the lighthouse and ranger’s house (located just north of the lighthouse) are fully “off the grid,” using solar power for electricity and rain collection, and reverse osmosis for water. Join Ranger Tod Cornell, the current lighthouse keeper, to find out more about the lighthouse and what it’s like to live and work on Anclote Key.

A Comedy by by Paul Rudnick
Directed by Lisa Malloy
Andrew Rally has it all – celebrity; a rich, beautiful girlfriend; a glamorous, devoted agent; the perfect New York apartment; and the chance to play Hamlet in Central Park. There are, however, a couple of glitches in paradise. When Andrew’s agent visits him, she reminisces about her brief romance with John Barrymore many years ago, in Andrew’s apartment. This prompts a seance to summon his ghost. From the moment Barrymore returns, dressed in high Shakespearean garb, Andrew’s life is no longer his own. The laughs are nonstop as Andrew wrestles with his conscience, Barrymore, his sword, and his role as Hamlet in Central Park.

Love Letters – A Romantic Play by A. R. Gurney
2024-07-19 19:00 - 21:00 | Tarpon Springs Cultural Center, 101 S. Pinellas Ave, Tarpon Springs, FL, 34689
A Romantic Play by A. R. Gurney
Directed by David O’Hara
Andrew Makepeace Ladd III and Melissa Gardner, both born to wealth and position, are childhood friends whose lifelong correspondence begins with birthday party thank-you notes and summer camp postcards. Romantically attached, they continue to exchange letters through the years. Life takes them both in different directions but eventually, she and Andy do become involved in a brief affair, but it is too late for both of them. Andy’s final letter makes it eloquently clear how much they really meant and gave to each other over the years—physically apart but spiritually as close as only true lovers can be.
