A Doll's House

February 16, 2017 - February 18, 2017. 

Torvald and Nora Helmer have been married for eight years and, on the surface at least, their marriage seems exceptionally happy; they have three children, a comfortable home, and a healthy income.  When Kristine Linde, an old school friend of Nora's, a widow, penniless but independent-minded, arrives in town and calls on Nora, she gradually discovers that all is not as tranquil and well-ordered as it seems.
This production may not be suitable for children under 13.

Tickets are available here.

D9 Cares - March 3, 2017

Students from all over the Hillsborough County area are coming together to perform in a benefit performance for the charity Broadway Cares/Equity Fights Aids. Come see some of the finest high school performances in the area. Many of these talented young artists will go on to represent their schools at this year's Florida State Thespian Festival.
Broadway Cares/Equity Fights AIDS is one of the nation’s leading industry-based, nonprofit AIDS fundraising and grant-making organizations. By drawing upon the talents, resources and generosity of the American theatre community, since 1988 BC/EFA has raised more than $225 million for essential services for people with AIDS and other critical illnesses across the United States.
Broadway Cares awards annual grants to more than 450 AIDS and family service organizations nationwide and is the major supporter of the social service programs at The Actors Fund, including the HIV/AIDS Initiative, the Phyllis Newman Women’s Health Initiative, the Al Hirschfeld Free Health Clinic, The Dancers’ Resource and the Stage Managers’ Project.
The Florida State Thespian organization collects and donates money to Broadway Cares every year. The thespians of District 9 are trying to be the top donor in the state for this school year, and they need YOUR help!
