Blackfriars Theatre Presents THE UNDENIABLE SOUND OF RIGHT NOW
It's Chicago in the early 90s and Hank's legendary rock 'n' roll bar is up against the destructive power of gentrification and the "next big thing." The Undeniable Sound of Right Now by Laura Eason runs at Blackfriars Theatre May 10 - 26. The theatre will transform itself into Hank's bar, replete with beer and wine for sale right on stage (provided by Rohrbach Brewing Company) and local bands playing thirty-minute sets prior to each performance. Featured bands include Mike & The Smugtown Hustlers and Periodic Table of Elephants, with more acts being announced soon.

Photo Flash: Blackfriars Theatre Presents ANNA IN THE TROPICS
The year is 1929, and Tampa-based cigar rollers Marela and Ofelia anxiously await the arrival of their new, dashingly handsome "lectore." Anna in the Tropics is written by Nilo Cruz and won the Pulitzer Prize for drama in 2003. The play centers around the common Cuban tradition in which lectors are employed by cigar factories to educate and entertain the workers through the reading of novels. The arrival of a new lector is a cause for celebration, but when he begins to read aloud from Anna Karenina, he unwittingly becomes a catalyst in the lives of his avid listeners, for whom Tolstoy, the tropics, and the American dream prove a volatile combination.
