Here is another intriguing show that will be at the Tampa Bay Theatre Festival:
“The Consciousness” - What does it mean for art if an artist's consciousness carries on after death? In "The Consciousness," Reece - a struggling music composition student - tries to extract and then plagiarize a symphony from the digitized consciousness of Theo Price, a dead and (mostly) forgotten composer. But the composer's creative prowess has not thrived in the afterlife, forcing Reece to reconstruct Theo's memories.

The title says it all! Don't miss "Filthy Gentlemen" at the Tampa Bay Theatre Festival at the HCC Ybor Studio Theatre.
Lust: A sensual appetite regarded as sinful, mundane, or carnal.
In a society where s*x is very accessible, two best friends, Darren and Jason, take full advantage of the spoils provided to them by way of their charm and wit. In their eyes, s*x is just a game, a "player's" game. For more details and to purchase tickets, go to www.tampabaytheatrefestival.com.
