Do It Today: Muvi Madness at Centro Ybor, Lone Wolf staged reading and Noche de Open Mic

By Franki Weddington on Mon, Mar 29, 2010 at 3:31 am

Just when you think you’ve seen everything the Tampa Bay stage scene has to offer, American Stage serves up a fresh, hot, heaping portion of theatrical goodness that even the most cultured theater buffs have yet to attend – because local playwright Phillip Hall is offering it up for public consumption for the first time ever. Lone Wolf is this week's installment in Hot Off the Press, a staged reading of Hall's play about Annie, who's bringing her boyfriend over for dinner. Pretty innocuous, until you include the fact that her husband and 16-year-old daughter (the smartest one in the room) are there, too. The show is followed by a talkback with the author, when the audience is invited to flex their theatrical muscles and offer a constructive evaluation of the play. Visit americanstage.org for more info. Mon., March 29, 7 p.m., American Stage, St. Petersburg, free.

Students offer spoken word, poetry, rapping and singing at the Coquina Club for Noche de Open Mic. Mon., March 29, 7:30-9:30 p.m., University of South Florida, St. Petersburg.

Besides Avatar and the latest string of Batman flicks, there's not much I'll drop $14 to see in the theater, but the movies just got affordable again: Monday through Thursday, all day and all night, Muvico Muvi Madness gives you entrance to the soda-steeped, popcorn-scented, reclining chair glory of the theater for just $6 a pop. Now I can tell my boyfriend to stop pirating all my must-see movies, see the blockbusters before they hit NetFlix and join in the latest watercooler convos without breaking the bank. Visit muvico.com or call 813-242-0664 for more info. Muvico Centro Ybor, Ybor City.
