The Florida Orchestra – A Child of Our Time
Begins 8pm
Straz Center for the Performing Arts
Written decades ago in the era of Nazi Germany, Michael Tippett’s oratorio is a powerful call for unity in a divided world. TFO’s debut features the Master Chorale of Tampa Bay and commemorates the 80th anniversary of Kristallnacht (Night of Shattered Glass) in partnership with The Florida Holocaust Museum. The work also draws inspiration from African-American spirituals (you may recognize Nobody Knows the Trouble I’ve Seen among others), making it a natural fit with selections from Gershwin’s Porgy and Bess, which rounds out the program. The Florida Orchestra – A Child of Our Time
The Revolutionists
Begins 8pm
Stageworks Theatre
This stage production is a brutal comedic quartet about four very real women who lived boldly in France during the French Revolution’s Reign of Terror (1793-1794). Lauren Gunderson’s masterful script builds verbal anachronisms, meta-jokes, playful banter, and true historical events into a stirring finale as each woman faces her inevitable fate. In the end, it is a story of how important a woman’s voice can be, even in the darkest of times. A brave and blisteringly funny new work about feminism, legacy and standing up for one’s beliefs. The Revolutionists
