Join newly elected Mayor Jane Castor as she leads the annual Bike to Work Ride & Rally on Thursday May 23. There are eight different meet-up locations, each led by experienced riders who know the best routes into Downtown. The group rides will end at Lykes Gaslight Square Park for music, food and more. View and share the Facebook event.

Don’t have a bike? Not to worry! We’ve partnered with Coast Bike Share to offer a FREE day pass using code BIKE2WORK2019 (case sensitive).

After the ride, there will be a brief ceremony announcing the latest round of Downtown’s certified Bicycle Friendly Businesses. The program, led by the League of American Bicyclists, initially focused on ground floor restaurants and retail then grew to arts and cultural institutions. Five of our premier destinations are now part of a network of companies across the country – Florida Aquarium, Tampa Bay History Center, Glazer Children’s Museum, Tampa Museum of Art and the Straz Center for the Performing Arts.  This growing list puts Tampa #1 in Florida and #2 in the Nation for the number of certified Bicycle Friendly Businesses!

A monthly celebration of Tampa’s rich arts and culture scene! An evening of special offerings and programs by cultural venues, restaurants & more!

Fourth Friday participants can pick up a wristband at any of the participating cultural venues during event hours and plan their route with the schedule and suggested itineraries online at FourthFridayTPA.com. Then, just park once and let Downtown’s many alternative transportation options do the rest. Take a complimentary ride on the TECO Line Streetcar, stroll along The Tampa Riverwalk, cruise the Hillsborough on the Pirate Water Taxi, hail the FREE Downtowner ride service with an app on your smartphone, or saunter along 7th Avenue in Ybor, Tampa’s only Historic District. Participants also get a FREE hour of Coast Bike rental with a promo code (visit FourthFridayTPA.com  or the Facebook page for details).

On Friday, May 24, Tampa Theatre will host the Tampa debut of the touching new documentary, The Biggest Little Farm. Already a film festival favorite at Sundance, Toronto, Telluride and others, the documentary  chronicles John and Molly Chester’s eight-year quest as they trade Los Angeles apartment living for 200 acres of barren farmland and a dream to harvest in harmony with a sometimes unforgiving environment.

To celebrate opening night, the landmark movie palace has called together some of the Bay area’s best small farms, sustainable businesses, and environmentally friendly entrepreneurs for a Franklin Street Farmer’s Market from 5:30-7:30pm under the historic marquee. Guests can enjoy samples, sales and information from a growing list of organizations, including:

• Bike/Walk Tampa Bay, a regional coalition of citizens, advocates, professionals, and allied organizations supporting environmentally sustainable transportation options
• The Tampa Bay Beekeeper’s Association of hobbyists, commercial and migratory beekeepers, and enthusiasts, who will be bringing an observational hive
• TrailBale Farm of Temple Terrace, specializing in organic fed, sensibly raised, pastured meat
  and eggs
• Waldenponics, a community focused business providing urban agroecology to the greater Tampa Bay area
• Whitwam Organics, a registered nursery in Tampa specializing in garden bed installations
  and education

The first 200 participants will receive a FREE Tampa Theatre reusable grocery bag, and guests are also invited to drop off their unwanted wires, batteries, phones and other electronics for recycling, courtesy of Urban E Recycling.

John Mcrae’s favorite place to hang out as a kid were his parent’s and grandparent’s record cabinets. Count Basie, Foreigner, Billie Holiday, Glenn Miller, Burt Bacharach, Queen, Billy Joel, Bill Evans and Michael Jackson… there was a lot to get lost in. Now a singer and multi-instrumentalist, John couldn’t be happier to have been born and raised in Tampa Florida. While attending several magnet schools with a focus on the performing arts, John began to write and collaborate with friends and took the stage with his guitar for the first time at age thirteen.

Before graduating high school, John had been a part of nearly ten active bands, recorded five EPs and two full-length albums. This continued as he reached his twenties and beyond, continuing to write and record with bands, and solo artists alike. Today, John continues to write and wants to bring the authenticity and connectivity of live music to as many people as possible. Creative, exciting and unexpected covers/renditions are his speciality. Make sure to follow on Instagram and Facebook to learn where you and a friend can enjoy him live!

John Mcrae is performing on the River Walk next to the fountains on Friday, May 24.

This week we lost one of the greats. John Singleton was the first African American, and the youngest person ever, nominated for an Academy Award for Best Director. In 1991, Boyz n the Hood was like a bomb dropped on a complacent American cultural landscape, an unflinching and preternaturally mature look at growing up in South Central Los Angeles. His first film at the age of 23, Singleton shot it entirely in sequence; he once said in an interview that “[a]s it becomes more intense and comes on to the third act, the camera work is more and more fluid, because I’m getting better and better – and taking more chances.” But it’s more than just the first classic coming-of-age story of the ‘90s, and it’s more than the work of a brilliantly creative Black voice that broke through into the “mainstream” despite overwhelming hurdles put in place against exactly that happening; it’s an exploration of American masculinity and brotherhood that values realism and honesty over easy answers and melodrama. It’s not just still relevant; it’s still an open wound. They still don’t know, don’t show, or don’t care. But Singleton did, and Boyz n the Hood does. Tampa Theatre and REWIND are heartbroken at the passing of John Singleton but proud for this chance to present his incredible achievement, Boyz n the Hood, to our community.

Tampa Theatre and AEG Presents are proud to announce that Joe Jackson will bring his Four Decade tour LIVE to Tampa Theatre’s historic stage at 8:00 p.m. Saturday, May 25.

Jackson tours in support of his critically acclaimed new studio album, Fool, which was released by earMUSIC on January 18. The record, which is the 20^th studio album of Jackson’s career, was the fulfilment of a career-long dream: to finish a tour and head straight into the studio with the band firing on all cylinders. So, on July 29^th, Joe wrapped up his 2018 summer tour in Boise, Idaho – and the following day set up shop at Tonic Room Studios.

“I never have an overall theme in mind when I start trying to write songs for an album, but sometimes one will develop,” Jackson says. “In this case it’s Comedy and Tragedy, and the way they’re intertwined in all our lives. The songs are about fear and anger and alienation and loss, but also about the things that still make life worth living: friendship, laughter, and music, or art, itself. I couldn’t have done this in 1979. I just hadn’t lived enough.”

In his own words: “So, here comes a big tour. We want to celebrate the fact that this is happening after 40 years – anything else, would be like sulking in a room by yourself on your own birthday party. Looking for some way to organize a show out of 40 years’ worth of material, I decided to draw on five albums, each representing a decade: Look Sharp (1979) Night And Day (1982) Laughter And Lust (1991) Rain (2008) and Fool (2019). We’ll also throw in a couple of songs from other albums and some new covers. I can’t wait. Let’s party.”

Presented by Henry B. Plant Museum at Henry B. Plant Museum, Tampa FL

Live performances that bring hotel staff and guests to life.

Step back in time and enjoy the single-character performances that bring turn-of–the-century Tampa Bay Hotel staff members and guests to life. Each character is based wholly or in part on actual hotel staff and guests. Based on original research conducted by the Henry Plant Museum, these characters recreate the attitudes and mores of a bygone time, along with the sorrows and joys of their existence. Catch a glimpse of life at the Hotel through the eyes of each individual character. From the reminiscences of Henry Plant himself on what led him to build such a palace, to the letters home written by a Spanish-American War soldier, you will learn more about the time period through each character’s particular vantage point. Performances are 30 minutes and are included with admission to the Museum. Arrive early as limited seating is available on a first-come first-served basis.
Upstairs/Downstairs is graciously underwritten by Mosaic and the Florida Humanities Council with funds from the National Endowment for the Humanities.

The characters are performed in rotation-one each Sunday.
All performances are open to the public with museum admission.

With her powerful vocals and astonishing range, Ariana Grande has emerged as one of the most magnetic and massively successful performers in pop music today. At age 25 she’s delivered three platinum-selling albums and surpassed 18 billion streams, in addition to nabbing four Grammy Award nominations and landing eight hits in the Top 10 on the Billboard Hot 100 chart. With 2016’s critically acclaimed Dangerous Woman, Grande both boldly defies expectation and reveals the full force of her voice (recently hailed as an “extraordinary, versatile, limitless instrument” upon Grande’s appearance on Time’s “100 Most Influential People” list).

Four young Latino men have a chance meeting at Burrito World in Omaha and discover they share the same name! Even though their ancestral roots are different (one is from Puerto Rico, one is from Cuba, one is from Mexico and one is from the Dominican Republic), not only do they share a common name, they share a common dream: to stage a show of Latin standards that puts forth a positive image to counteract Latino stereotypes. Enter Maria, a beautiful woman who provides a romantic interest as the gentlemen vie for her attentions.

Performed in Spanish and English, 4 Guys Named José… And Una Mujer Named Maria features some of the most evocative Latin music ever written (including such standards as La Bamba, Guantanamera, I Like It Like That and Bésame Mucho) sung in four and five-part harmony. The show is brimming with the zest of life intrinsic to the Latino culture.

Prices:

Preview Night: $15

Opening Night: $45

Matinees: $30

Evening: $35
