Opening – Blackbird
The Off Central, St. Pete

The Associated Press calls this play “A fascinating and unnerving ninety-minute cat-and-mouse tale of revenge and sexual intrigue, with genuine theatricality and undeniable shock value.”
In this unremittingly intense one-act, Una and Ray, are birds with broken wings—psychologically crippled by an episode that left both their lives in tatters. What happens when they meet again after 15 years?

Opening Night – Howl-O-Scream
Busch Gardens, Tampa

It’s the 25th anniversary of one of the coolest, scariest, immersive Halloween experiences in Tampa Bay – voted #2 Best Theme Park by USA Today’s 10 Best Halloween Theme Parks Readers Choice Awards.  Nothing says Fall is on the way like the start of Halloween happenings, and if you go earlier in the season, your wait times will be significantly reduced (to make up for the heat). This year’s theme is Zombies in Vegas, or Sin City Zombies. So, if you like having the bejesus scared out of you, this is your chance!

Opens Friday, September 6th – November 2nd

Sunday

 

Indie Flea Plant & Garden Show
Morean Center for Clay, St/ Pete

and so much more courtesy of Indie Flea – And the Morean Center for Clay is a beautiful venue for this event. Admission is FREE,
so come on down and bring nature back into your living spaces.

Sunday, September 8th @12pm – 4pm

Hoods up Week
Tampa Bay Automobile Museum, Pinellas Park

**Bonus Event* Tampa Bay Buccaneers vs. Washington Commanders
Raymond James Stadium. Tampa

For me, this is the foretelling of Fall – the start of the NFL season, in particular, the Bucs.  Our Bucs open at home against an opponent that they should beat – but, of course, that’s why they play the games. Kick-off is mercifully in the later afternoon in an effort to mitigate the heat, but that wouldn’t stop me! Being at an NFL game is the absolute best escape from reality there is. Cheer on our Bucs this Sunday.

Sunday, September 8th @4:25pm
