SUMMARY:M*A*S*H
DESCRIPTION:M*A*S*H\nAdapted by Tim Kelly\nBased on the book by Richard Hooker\nDirected by Chris Holcom\nM*A*S*H stands for Mobile Army Surgical Hospital\, and joining it are two unpredictable madcaps\, Hawkeye (Michael Neary) and Duke (Mackley Fogarty). They can’t be dealt with casually\, however\, because they are also two of the best chest surgeons in South Korea. \nHawkeye and Duke decide to wage a campaign to get a young Korean (Max Rodriguez) to the United States and entered in a good school. The thread of this effort helps to tie together the pileup of comic adventures that pyramid right before your eyes! Hawkeye has a scene with a woman psychiatrist (Janice Nepon-Sixt) who believes he’s been trying to lobster-trap mermaids in a rice paddy! There’s a jolly encounter with the baby-talking Bonwit sisters (Janice Nepon-Sixt\, Mary Kay Cyrus\, Carol Sheldon)\, the worst tap-dancing act the U.S.O. ever sent overseas\, and a sergeant (Mike Lowe) is selling dumb GIs fishing rights in the Bay of Phum. Radar O’Reilly (Joshua Eberhart)\, a soldier with exceptional hearing\, anticipates events before they occur. The proprietor of a painless dental clinic is cured of dark moods by the recreation of an old monster movie—and a monster! It’s all here\, including a little romance mixed in with dramatic moments and a genuine love of life. \nM*A*S*H is presented through a special arrangement with the Dramatic Publishing Company of Woodstock\, NY. \n\nAdmission: $30 for members / $35 for general admission Group Rate (10+): $32 (This event will have reserved seating.) \n\n*An ASL interpreter will be available for the performance on May 22. Please inquire at the time of purchase. \n(This is a ticketed event. Some online processing fees may apply. Visit the Box Office or call (813) 922-8167 to avoid processing fees.) \n\n

SUMMARY:Rehearsal: Carrollwood Community Chorus
DESCRIPTION:The Carrollwood Community Chorus is open to anyone\, regardless of experience\, as long as you have a song in your heart. From the campfire to the Red Carpet\, members from all walks of life come together to share their gift and love of song. The chorus performs regularly at the Center\, local events and has even been known to “pop up” in crowds around the holidays. The group meets weekly to rehearse; however\, this group of friendly folks are known to keep in touch outside of rehearsals\, too! Now that’s something to sing about! \nCommunity Chorus

SUMMARY:"Direct/Indirect" by William Talenti
DESCRIPTION:“At the heart of all beauty lies something inhuman\, and these hills\, the softness of the sky\, the outline of these trees at this very minute lose the illusory meaning with which we had clothed them.”\n-Albert Camus\nThese six paintings (in the exhibit) concern pigment application and idea combination. I began each piece with a deliberate modality—Realistic\, Abstract\, or Non-Objective—pairing each with a “sister” painting on an opposing wall to serve as a formal counterpoint. Eventually\, the rules dissolved\, and I stopped following the recipe. An overlapping of my emotional state and the evolving surface of the paint occurred\, allowing the content to find its own voice beyond the initial structure. \nDirect/Indirect represents a deliberate unlearning of over thirty years of visual literacy. As both an educator and a painter\, I am fascinated by how a personal artistic voice is constructed\, refined\, and—eventually—dismantled. By isolating the core elements of color\, shape\, value\, and pattern\, I converge figurative representation with the intuitive faculty of abstraction. These works seek the tension between what we see and how we think\, emptying the familiar to discover what remains. \n-William Talenti \nClick here to view Gallery Hours.

SUMMARY:"Paper People" by Zhannay Monique
DESCRIPTION:Zhannay  “Naynay” McBride is a self-taught visual artist located in Tampa\, Florida\, with seven years of dedicated studio practice. Working primarily in acrylic on canvas\, she creates vibrant\, imaginative paintings that explore complex emotional landscapes and are deeply influenced by the media of her childhood and Y2K media. \nThrough her art\, Zhannay employs colorful\, expressive characters to illuminate her lived experiences with Type 1 diabetes and mental health challenges. Her work has been featured at prominent local cultural events\, including the Tampa Juneteenth Festival\, Tampa Pride\, and exhibitions at the Carrollwood Cultural Center. Looking ahead\, Zhannay is committed to expanding her body of work to further raise awareness about Type 1 diabetes\, with plans to showcase these new projects at upcoming exhibitions in galleries throughout the Tampa Bay Area. \nArtist Statement\n“My body of work is a collage of my memories\, culture\, and experiences. I look fondly at my experiences whether they are good or bad because it comes from a place of understanding and I try to convey that perception into my paintings. I enjoy sneaking in some elements from early 2000s cartoons and Y2K media because these things helped comfort me during my struggles with juvenile Type 1 diabetes and mental health. I prefer using cartoon elements as a vehicle to portray heavy topics because it allows a safe space where genuine dialogue can be opened for everyone without being so obtrusive. \nI have been experimenting with creating scenes that are a mixture of flat 2-D elements against 3-D elements to add many visual textures to the painting and I enjoy creating the look of paper in my artwork. People are a lot like sheets of paper\, we all have folds and creases in many different places\, many of us have similar experiences but we all have different viewpoints.This is how people connect and have empathy for one another.” \n– Zhannay Monique \nClick here to view Gallery hours.

SUMMARY:Summer Intensive:The Lightning Thief sponsored by AdventHealth-Carrollwood
DESCRIPTION:“The Lightning Thief: Theatre for Young Audiences Edition” The Percy Jackson MusicalJune 1-26\nA Summer Intensive for Ages 14-17. \nSponsored by AdventHealth-Carrollwood. \nA 70-minute\, one-act adaptation of the Broadway hit! When teenager Percy Jackson discovers he’s a demigod\, he and his friends embark on an epic journey to find Zeus’ missing lightning bolt and prevent a war among the gods. As the half-blood son of a Greek god\, Percy Jackson has newly-discovered powers he can’t control\, a destiny he doesn’t want\, and a mythology textbook’s worth of monsters on his trail. When Zeus’s master lightning bolt is stolen\, and Percy becomes the prime suspect\, he has to find and return the bolt to prove his innocence and prevent a war between the gods. But to succeed on his quest\, Percy will have to do more than catch the thief. He must travel to the Underworld and back; solve the riddle of the Oracle\, which warns him of betrayal by a friend; and come to terms with the father who abandoned him. \nNEW: Intensive students will register to be either a performer or part of the tech crew (lighting/sound) for this production. \nSHOW CREDITS: Book by Joe Tracz | Music & Lyrics by Rob Rokicki | Adapted from the book The Lightning Thief by Rick Riordan | Presented through Concord Theatricals \nPERFORMANCE: Thursday\, June 25 at 5:30 pm \nCLICK HERE for information about this intensive. \nThank you to our summer partner\, EmpowerAbility Solutions\, Inc.

From the campfire to the Red Carpet\, members from all walks of life come together to share their gift and love of song. The chorus performs regularly at the Center\, local events and has even been known to “pop up” in crowds around the holidays.

SUMMARY:"Direct/Indirect" by William Talenti
DESCRIPTION:“At the heart of all beauty lies something inhuman\, and these hills\, the softness of the sky\, the outline of these trees at this very minute lose the illusory meaning with which we had clothed them.”\n-Albert Camus\nThese six paintings (in the exhibit) concern pigment application and idea combination. I began each piece with a deliberate modality—Realistic\, Abstract\, or Non-Objective—pairing each with a “sister” painting on an opposing wall to serve as a formal counterpoint. Eventually\, the rules dissolved\, and I stopped following the recipe. An overlapping of my emotional state and the evolving surface of the paint occurred\, allowing the content to find its own voice beyond the initial structure. \nDirect/Indirect represents a deliberate unlearning of over thirty years of visual literacy. As both an educator and a painter\, I am fascinated by how a personal artistic voice is constructed\, refined\, and—eventually—dismantled. By isolating the core elements of color\, shape\, value\, and pattern\, I converge figurative representation with the intuitive faculty of abstraction. These works seek the tension between what we see and how we think\, emptying the familiar to discover what remains. \n-William Talenti \nClick here to view Gallery Hours.

SUMMARY:"Paper People" by Zhannay Monique
DESCRIPTION:Zhannay  “Naynay” McBride is a self-taught visual artist located in Tampa\, Florida\, with seven years of dedicated studio practice. Working primarily in acrylic on canvas\, she creates vibrant\, imaginative paintings that explore complex emotional landscapes and are deeply influenced by the media of her childhood and Y2K media. \nThrough her art\, Zhannay employs colorful\, expressive characters to illuminate her lived experiences with Type 1 diabetes and mental health challenges. Her work has been featured at prominent local cultural events\, including the Tampa Juneteenth Festival\, Tampa Pride\, and exhibitions at the Carrollwood Cultural Center. Looking ahead\, Zhannay is committed to expanding her body of work to further raise awareness about Type 1 diabetes\, with plans to showcase these new projects at upcoming exhibitions in galleries throughout the Tampa Bay Area. \nArtist Statement\n“My body of work is a collage of my memories\, culture\, and experiences. I look fondly at my experiences whether they are good or bad because it comes from a place of understanding and I try to convey that perception into my paintings. I enjoy sneaking in some elements from early 2000s cartoons and Y2K media because these things helped comfort me during my struggles with juvenile Type 1 diabetes and mental health. I prefer using cartoon elements as a vehicle to portray heavy topics because it allows a safe space where genuine dialogue can be opened for everyone without being so obtrusive. \nI have been experimenting with creating scenes that are a mixture of flat 2-D elements against 3-D elements to add many visual textures to the painting and I enjoy creating the look of paper in my artwork. People are a lot like sheets of paper\, we all have folds and creases in many different places\, many of us have similar experiences but we all have different viewpoints.This is how people connect and have empathy for one another.” \n– Zhannay Monique \nClick here to view Gallery hours.

I began each piece with a deliberate modality—Realistic\, Abstract\, or Non-Objective—pairing each with a “sister” painting on an opposing wall to serve as a formal counterpoint. Eventually\, the rules dissolved\, and I stopped following the recipe. An overlapping of my emotional state and the evolving surface of the paint occurred\, allowing the content to find its own voice beyond the initial structure. \nDirect/Indirect represents a deliberate unlearning of over thirty years of visual literacy. As both an educator and a painter\, I am fascinated by how a personal artistic voice is constructed\, refined\, and—eventually—dismantled. By isolating the core elements of color\, shape\, value\, and pattern\, I converge figurative representation with the intuitive faculty of abstraction. These works seek the tension between what we see and how we think\, emptying the familiar to discover what remains. \n-William Talenti \nClick here to view Gallery Hours.

SUMMARY:"Paper People" by Zhannay Monique
DESCRIPTION:Zhannay  “Naynay” McBride is a self-taught visual artist located in Tampa\, Florida\, with seven years of dedicated studio practice. Working primarily in acrylic on canvas\, she creates vibrant\, imaginative paintings that explore complex emotional landscapes and are deeply influenced by the media of her childhood and Y2K media. \nThrough her art\, Zhannay employs colorful\, expressive characters to illuminate her lived experiences with Type 1 diabetes and mental health challenges. Her work has been featured at prominent local cultural events\, including the Tampa Juneteenth Festival\, Tampa Pride\, and exhibitions at the Carrollwood Cultural Center. Looking ahead\, Zhannay is committed to expanding her body of work to further raise awareness about Type 1 diabetes\, with plans to showcase these new projects at upcoming exhibitions in galleries throughout the Tampa Bay Area. \nArtist Statement\n“My body of work is a collage of my memories\, culture\, and experiences. I look fondly at my experiences whether they are good or bad because it comes from a place of understanding and I try to convey that perception into my paintings. I enjoy sneaking in some elements from early 2000s cartoons and Y2K media because these things helped comfort me during my struggles with juvenile Type 1 diabetes and mental health. I prefer using cartoon elements as a vehicle to portray heavy topics because it allows a safe space where genuine dialogue can be opened for everyone without being so obtrusive. \nI have been experimenting with creating scenes that are a mixture of flat 2-D elements against 3-D elements to add many visual textures to the painting and I enjoy creating the look of paper in my artwork. People are a lot like sheets of paper\, we all have folds and creases in many different places\, many of us have similar experiences but we all have different viewpoints.This is how people connect and have empathy for one another.” \n– Zhannay Monique \nClick here to view Gallery hours.
