Keith Arsenault surely has a place in any future Tampa Man Hall of Fame.

A living legend of the local arts scene, the multiple Best of the Bay-winning set designer now runs New Tampa Performing Arts Center, but has had his fingerprints on countless Bay area productions.

He finds himself onstage this time when The Commodore (which has spent the last year-and-change establishing itself as a vital Tampa institution of its own) presents its “Salud and Happy Days” show where a guest (Arsenault) regales the audience with stories before improv comedians act them out.

Tickets for “Salud and Happy Days” featuring Keith Arsenault happening Friday, July 11 at The Commodore in Ybor City are still available for $18.11 including fees. Readers are invited to submit their own events to Creative Loafing Tampa Bay’s things to do calendar.
