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!

"Direct/Indirect" by William Talenti

“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.”
-Albert Camus
These 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.
Direct/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.

Jesus Christ Superstar
2026-03-13 20:00 - 22:00 | Main Theatre, 4537 Lowell Road, Tampa FL 33618, FL
Jesus Christ Superstar
Music by Andrew Lloyd Webber
Lyrics by Tim Rice

Directed by Paul Berg Music Direction by Latoya McCormick-Hutchinson Choreography by Evan Lomba
What’s the buzz? The first musical by Tim Rice and Andrew Lloyd Webber to be produced for the professional stage, Jesus Christ Superstar has wowed audiences for more than 50 years. A timeless work, the rock opera is set against the backdrop of an extraordinary and universally known series of events, but seen, unusually, through the eyes of Judas Iscariot. Loosely based on the Gospels of Matthew, Mark, Luke, and John, Superstar follows the last week of Jesus Christ’s life. The story, told entirely through song, explores the personal relationships and struggles between Jesus (Patty Smithey), Judas (Evan Lomba), Mary Magdalene (Jessica Hill), his disciples, his followers, and the Roman Empire.
The iconic 1970s rock score features well-known numbers such as “Superstar,” “I Don’t Know How to Love Him,” and “Gethsemane.” A true global phenomenon, Superstar continues to touch new generations of audiences and performers.
Jesus Christ Superstar is sponsored by Thrivent.

Jesus Christ Superstar is presented through a special arrangement with Concord Theatricals on behalf of The Really Useful Group.

Admission: $30 for members / $35 for general admission Group Rate (10+): $32 (This event will have reserved seating.)

*An ASL interpreter will be available for the performance on March 20. Please inquire at the time of purchase.
