Cypress Lake show performs at Barbara B Mann
Cypress Lake Center for the Arts proudly presents SWEET CHARITY, a story about a girl employed as a hostess at a New York dance hall in the late 1960’s. The show, which originally ran November 19-22, 2009, is being revived for two very special performances.
The show has been selected to perform at the Florida State Thespian Festival on April 9, 2010. It will play in Morsani Hall at the David A. Straz, Jr., Center for the Performing Arts (formerly the Tampa Bay Performing Arts Center) for a full house of 2,600 conference attendees.
In order to raise money to take the show to Tampa and to prepare the cast and crew for working in a large hall, SWEET CHARITY will play a one night only engagement at Barbara B. Mann on March 31, at 7:30 p.m. The show date is rapidly approaching and ticket sales have been slow. We need as many attendees as possible to cover the costs of taking the show to Tampa. Tickets ($20 for VIP seating; $15 for general seating) are assigned seating so purchase your tickets as soon as possible to get the best seats. Call 481-4849 or go to www.bbmannpah.com
