But there’s also more incredible fun to be had, like arts tours, new theater, Sueños de Dalí, A John Waters visit, and so much more. It’s scary how hard it will be to choose! Have fun, from your friends at Registry Tampa Bay!

Friday

Deathtrap
freeFall Theatre, St. Pete

From the author of Rosemary’s Baby and The Stepford Wives comes this classic thriller. Comfortably ensconced in his charming Connecticut home, Sidney Bruhl, a successful writer of Broadway thrillers, is struggling to overcome a dry spell which has resulted in a string of failures and a shortage of funds. A possible break in his fortunes occurs when he receives a script from a student in the seminar he has been conducting at a nearby college—a thriller Sidney recognizes immediately as a potential Broadway smash. Sidney’s plan is to offer collaboration to the student for co-credit. Or is it? Deathtrap provides twists and turns of devilish cleverness and offers hilariously sudden shocks in such abundance that audiences will be spellbound until the very last moment.

• Don’t miss a special drag tribute performance of Hocus Pocus that takes place on Weds, October 29th

Opens Friday, October 24th runs through Friday, November 7th

Evil Dead the Musical
Stageworks Theatre, Tampa

Five college students go to an abandoned cabin in the woods, and accidentally unleash an evil force that turns them all into demons. It’s all up to Ash (a housewares employee, turned demon- killing hero), and his trusty chainsaw to save the day. Blood flies. Limbs are dismembered. Demons tell bad jokes… and all to music. The songs in the show are completely off the wall as well. Titles like “All the Men in My Life Keep Getting Killed by Kandarian Demons” and “What the F**k was That?” have had audiences rolling in their seats, and screaming for more and more blood!
**The first 3 rows are in the “Splash Zone”. Wear white, wear a poncho, it’s up to you! *Ponchos will be sold in the lobby before the show!

Special Screening of John Waters Polyester – The Talkies w/ John Waters LIVE!
Sun-Ray Cinema, Tampa

John Waters will be rolling into Sun-Ray on October 25th to provide live commentary throughout a screening of Polyester. We have two ticket options….The live commentary screening or the live commentary screening and with John conducting a Group Therapy after show for a select few. For his first studio picture, filth maestro John Waters took advantage of his biggest budget yet to allow his muse Divine to sink his teeth into a role unlike any he had played before: Baltimore housewife Francine Fishpaw, a heroine worthy of a Douglas Sirk melodrama. Blessed with a keen sense of smell and cursed with a philandering pornographer husband, a parasitic mother, and a pair of delinquent children, the long-suffering Francine turns to the bottle as her life falls apart – until deliverance appears in the form of a hunk named Todd Tomorrow.
