The Limelight Theater presents: The Hoover family has seen better days. Richard, the father, is a floundering motivational speaker, Grandpa’s been kicked out of his retirement home and Uncle Frank’s been dumped by his boyfriend. Moody teenager, Dwayne, has taken a vow of silence, and overextended mom, Sheryl, can do little more than slap on a smile. But, when the youngest Hoover, energetic Olive, enters a regional children’s beauty pageant, the family thinks that their luck could change and embarks on a cross-country trek, chasing the coveted title of “Little Miss Sunshine.”

The First Coast Opera presents Opéra Mystique: Opera and the Mystical.
Two operas:The Medium & Sāvitri Through two short operas written and performed in English, Opéra Mystique invokes mysticism and the afterlife to explore the idea that people believe what they want to believe. Gustav Holst’s Sāvitri and Gian Carlo Menotti’s The Medium offer poignant glimpses into how people confront and react to death. Small casts and orchestras will offer uniquely-intimate experiences, both thought-provoking and dramatic. Returning stage director Helena Binder (Madama Butterfly, La Traviata) leads this production conducted by FCO Artistic Director Curtis Tucker.

Big Fish the musical

Official Selection: Boston Independent Film Awards December 2021 Semi-Finalist: Boden International Film Festival, Sweden

Hammer & Rain features diverse female artists, all over the age of 50. We address the pandemic, issues of race, anti-semitism, the sexualization of Asian bodies and the long term effects after contracting Covid. This film also shines a light on the collaboration and process between myself as composer and four, stylistically different, choreographers. We challenge the concept of 'aging' and what it means to move and create at a later stage in our lives. The pandemic pushed me to move out of my comfort zone and into the world of documentary film-making. If you enjoy contemporary dance and modern music, this film is for you.

Based on Louisa May Alcott’s American classic, this Civil War story of love and family stands the test of time.
