Getting in the act

If you're a local performer, new to the area or just "out of the loop," or if you've only flirted with the idea of performing there are a lot of ways you can ply your trade here on open of the many stages at TBPAC.

The Center's resident opera company, Opera Tampa, holds annual auditions for the Opera Tampa Chorus. I've known quite a few people who have done chorus work, some that have done it now for many years. Enormous sets, great costumes, a chance to sing on the Morsani stage - it could be quite an opportunity for a diva-in-the-making.

Similarly, The Center's resident theater company, Jobsite Theater, also holds annual auditions for their season.

If you're interested (or know someone who is), be sure to check out that information and apply by the deadlines.

If you're looking for an opportunity to learn more or just try some things out - even if you've never been on stage - The Center offers an opportunity there also in the annual Community Arts Ensemble event. A little birdy tells me that information on how you can sign up to participate will be available by the start of next week. Check back at TBPAC.ORG or patelconservatory.org for more information.

Break a leg!
