tale of the bell
The Studio @620
tail of the bell is a razor sharp new play that you won’t forget!
A student goes missing, her tutor says she didn’t show up. What is the truth? A mother’s love and vigilance jumps into action to find answers.
Tail of the Bell is a battle of perception, power, and performance — where memory is malleable, and everyone has a version of the truth. If you love gripping storytelling, crackling dialogue, and theatre that keeps you thinking long after the curtain falls, this is the show for you.
Opens Thursday, October 2nd through Sunday, October 5th

Steve Martin & Martin Short –
The Dukes of Funnytown w/ Jeff Babko and Steep Canyon Rangers
Ruth Eckerd Hall, Clearwater
Comedy Legends Steve Martin and Martin Short, join forces for their return to Ruth Eckerd Hall! Steve Martin and Martin Short’s The Dukes of Funnytown! is a show that redefines the form in unexpected and profound ways, from two of the funniest, most influential and acclaimed talents of the past century. Their humor is often subversive, but it is always a joyous self-deprecating romp from two comedy masters driven to make each other laugh as much as the audience. Their hit TV Series Only Murders in the Building is currently in its 4th season. Martin and Short’s chemistry and timing on stage reflects a friendship forged over three decades, which developed when they met for the first time on the set of the 1986 film Three Amigos and later during the Father of the Bride movie series.
