Newly Opened – Thrice to Mine by Roxanne Fay
Straz Center – Shimberg Playhouse, Tampa

It’s a deeper dive into the life and psyche of one of Shakespeare’s most infamous characters – Lady Macbeth – as written and performed by our very own Roxanne Fay. Thrice to Mine opens a new door into who we know as Lady Macbeth. Based in historical fact about the woman and time she lived, this show presents a woman who learns — from the women in her life — how to fight. Told through magic, ancient lore, and echoes of Shakespeare, we learn how her life became rich, fulfilled, and and deliciously dark.

Runs through Sunday, August 25th

** Registry Spotlight Event**

I just love the whole idea of this. The price is right, and it gives families access to the entire museum as well as the “menagerie” of live animals. The James Museum shines in the #RegistrySpotlight this week.

It’s probably the best $5 you’ll spend this weekend as the James Museum goes wild!
