| | The Glass Menagerie
By Tennessee Williams
RATED PG
On Stage
November 7-24, 2024
In 1930s St. Louis, faded Southern belle Amanda Wingfield lives in poverty with her two grown children. Son Tom has unwillingly supported the family since his father abandoned them. Daughter Laura, as fragile as her collection of glass animals, is crippled by shyness and a limp. He seeks escape in alcohol and movies, while she withdraws into music. But when a “gentleman caller” visits their dingy apartment, the family’s world of illusions is shattered. Tender and tragic, this ethereal memory play is a classic of American theatre.

| | A Tuna Christmas
By Ed Howard, Joe Sears, and Jaston Williams
RATED PG
On Stage
December 4-15, 2024
It’s Christmas in Tuna – the third-smallest town in Texas. The radio is abuzz with news of the Yuletide yard display competition (vandalized by a shady “phantom”), while unpaid electric bills jeopardize a production of A Christmas Carol. Two versatile actors – Scott Fitzgerald (The Velocity of Autumn, Outside Mullingar) and John Allsop – play 20 zany characters in this lightning-fast comedy as broad as the Rio Grande. Everything’s bigger in Texas, including the holiday hilarity. This Southern-fried fruitcake is a gift for all seasons!

| | Concert for Good
On Stage
December 28, 2024 at 7:30 p.m.
We believe 'tis always the season for giving. In 2021, we got a group of community-minded local musicians (who happen to be "youngish") together to put on a concert for the sole purpose of raising funds for local nonprofits. With an outpouring of support from sponsors and packed houses, the event has raised $55,000 for Brother's Keeper and the Marion County Children's Alliance. Our community is so generous. God is so good. Our hope is that coming together "for good" at this time, when the calendar says the holidays have passed, reminds us all that gratitude and generosity are always in season.

RUNTIME: About 1 hour & 45 minutes NO INTERMISSION

| | Dixon's Violin
live in Ocala
On Stage at Ocala Civic Theatre
January 17, 2025
You've never heard violin like this! The world's premier visionary violinist, Dixon's life mission is to inspire people - and he has done so at over 1,000 concerts across North America, including giving five TED talks/performances, over ten years at Burning Man and Electric Forest, plus radio, TV, and film appearances. A former technology leader and symphony violinist, Dixon walked away from a distinguished career to follow his dream full-time, and invented a whole new music genre. Dixon now improvises on a 5-string electric violin with a looping system he developed to create an all-live one-man symphony, guided by his remarkable personal story of life transformation.
