THE AGITATORS tells of the enduring but tempestuous friendship of Susan B. Anthony and Frederick Douglass. Great allies? Yes. And at times, great adversaries. Young abolitionists when they met in Rochester in the 1840s, they were full of hopes, dreams, and a common purpose. As they grew to become the cultural icons we know today, their movements collided and their friendship was severely tested. This is the story of that forty-five-year friendship – from its beginning in Rochester, through a civil war, and to the highest halls of government. They agitated the nation, they agitated each other, and, in doing so, they helped shape the Constitution and the course of American history.

“McGee gives a stellar performance…quick on his feet, always keeping the show moving and never dragging” - BroadwayWorld

We just got our tickets to freeFall Theatre Company's "I Love to Eat" starring our 2022 Performing Arts MUSE Awardee, Matthew McGee.

We are hearing great reviews from friends and professional reviews about Matthew's performance so can't wait to see it for ourselves.

Limited tickets available on their website at https://ci.ovationtix.com/34941/production/1078245

-- And here's a photo Matthew sent us and the description below from freeFall's FB page!

"Before Julia Child and long before today’s proliferation of cooking shows, there was James Beard, the first TV chef. He brought a love for fine cooking (and a sense of humor) to the small screen in 1946 and helped establish an American cuisine based on fresh ingredients. Beard became America’s first “foodie,” and the award bearing his name is still the prize most coveted by chefs across the country. Larger than life (literally and metaphorically), American culinary icon James Beard was a complex, entertaining, beloved and frustrating friend and mentor to many. Beard always kept his phone number listed and famously took calls from anyone anytime who needed a little cooking advice. I Love to Eat (a love story with food) invites you to meet the man described as “the face and belly of American gastronomy” in this play that imagines a late night in Beard’s Greenwich Village home."
To our audiences:

Thank you all for your support and enthusiasm for King Lear and all the great theatre in Tampa Bay.
