Lovingly ripped off from the classic film comedy Monty Python and the Holy Grail, Monty Python’s Spamalot retells the legend of King Arthur and his knights of the Round Table, and features a bevy of beautiful show girls, not to mention cow, killer rabbits, and French people. The 2005 Broadway production won three Tony Awards, including Best Musical, and was followed by two successful West End runs. The outrageous, uproarious, and gloriously entertaining story of King Arthur and the Lady of the Lake will delight audiences as they search for the Holy Grail and “always look on the bright side of life.”
Monty Python’s Spamalot is presented through a special arrangement with Theatrical Rights Worldwide.

Denying Gravity - A Play with Purpose
2023-09-23 14:00 - 15:30 | Main Theatre, 4537 Lowell Road, Tampa FL 33618, FL
Denying Gravity provides an inspiring theater experience that is a roller coaster ride with twists and turns between comedy and drama.
A minor misstep interrupts the good life “Claire” has been living and she is annoyed (yet somewhat amused) to find herself challenged until she realizes she has entered a ‘twilight zone’ of The Unexpected. Experience how this genuine story converts audiences into advocates for fall prevention and quite literally saves lives. Open to the public with NO COST for admission. Family-friendly and handicap accessible. The play runs 60 minutes, followed by a 30-minute Q & A with Hillsborough County first responders.

Reservations are recommended to guarantee your FREE seat and allow early admission to select your seat(s) before walk-ins. Doors will open at 1 pm for guests with reservations. Walk-ins will be seated in any open seats at 1:45 pm.

Audience feedback is encouraged and appreciated by SAGES with goody bags and a Prize Drawing at each show.
