GODSPELL photo contest winner

And our winner of tickets for tonight's opening night performance of GODSPELL is... Monica. Thanks to everyone who entered. Here's the winning photo and a little explanation.

"This is me in a production of Godspell at the Tampa Bay Performing Arts Center! I was taking classes with the Tampa Academy of Performing Arts in June of 1989, and this was our summer production. Here is the scene where Jesus separates the sheet from the goats. I was one of the unfortunate goats!!!!!!"

Prepare for the movie on the lawn! Godspell.

The weather is slowly but surely resembling Florida again. While we still recommend you bring a blanket or snuggie, we think that Friday night will be a wonderful night to come down to the Riverwalk and enjoy Godspell.

This is the rocking, groovy 1973 version. When Straz Center presents Godspell Feb. 9 - May 16 you will see a modernized interpretation of the show.

Wear your tie-dyed sweatshirts on Friday night, put a bandanna on your dog, a peace sign on your baby's cheek and enjoy a beautiful evening under the stars. It's all free and all part of enjoying your Straz Center.
