Andrew Lloyd Webber’s Tell Me On a Sunday

Music by Andrew Lloyd Webber

Lyrics by Don Black

freeFall Theatre brings audiences this underrated musical comedy from the award-winning composer of The Phantom of the Opera and Sunset Boulevard. Tell Me On a Sunday follows a young English girl who has recently landed in New York. Brimming with optimism, she sets out to seek success, companionship and, of course, love. But as she weaves her way through the maze of the city and her own anxieties, frustrations, and heartaches, she begins to wonder whether—in fact—she’s been looking for love in all the wrong places. The show contains some of Andrew Lloyd Webber’s most-treasured songs, including "Tell Me On a Sunday,” “Come Back with the Same Look in Your Eyes” and “Unexpected Song.”

Middle School and High School Youth Jazz Jam with the Al Downing Tampa Bay Jazz Association

Youth Jazz Jam, Last Saturday of the Month 1-3 PM at Pinellas Community Church. On the south side of St. Pete on Saturday, August 31, 2024, a handful of adventurous high schoolers shuffled into The Pinellas Community Church. These students were among the first to participate in the first Al Downing Youth Jam, a jam session created by Dwayne White. Mr. White, a jazz educator and mentor in St. Pete, led the students, teaching them important musical and philosophical concepts. The first and arguably most important of these concepts was listening. Students often become focused on their technique and may overlook what is right in front of them. Mr. White reminded them of the old adage, “We have one mouth and two ears.” The students participated in a legendary jazz exercise called “trading,” which requires players to listen closely and respond to each other by exchanging musical phrases. A breakthrough moment finally took place when a young, beginning saxophonist named Bentley softly started playing. He shyly introduced himself to everyone. Unfamiliar with the music, he improvised, a key component of Jazz. Mr. White guided Bentley through a simple two-note melody from Duke Ellington’s "C Jam Blues," while the other musicians cheered him on. This is Jazz in action: a community coming together and riffing on a tune. Join us for a fun afternoon of practice and play! All instrumentalists and vocalists are encouraged to participate. Parents and supporters are welcomed to stay for the session. See you there!

Deathtrap by Ira Levin

From the author of Rosemary’s Baby and The Stepford Wives comes a play The New York Post calls “a classic thriller.” Comfortably ensconced in his charming Connecticut home, Sidney Bruhl, a successful writer of Broadway thrillers, is struggling to overcome a dry spell which has resulted in a string of failures and a shortage of funds. A possible break in his fortunes occurs when he receives a script from a student in the seminar he has been conducting at a nearby college—a thriller that Sidney recognizes immediately as a potential Broadway smash. Sidney’s plan, devised with his wife’s help, is to offer collaboration to the student for co-credit. Or is it? Deathtrap provides twists and turns of devilish cleverness, and offers hilariously sudden shocks in such abundance that audiences will be spellbound until the very last moment.
