Petersburg-a fifteen minute drive from downtown-this little theatre stands alone in a tree-lined half-block, with its own ample parking lot and user-friendly staff and policies. The setting of Freefall Theatre couldn't be better. Another unusual offering, Lorca's "The House of Bernarda Alba" (the musical version) was compelling and effective as it paired the play with flamenco music and dance.

This is a review not only of this show, however, but of arguably the best little professional theatre in all of the Tampa Bay area! Their production of "Cabaret" went into multiple "encore" performances, thanks to audiences clamoring for more. freeFall Theatre 5 404 reviews 5 of 126 things to do in St. Demens Landing Park is located on the waterfront right in the heart of Downtown St. And their solos and harmonies in a score based in blue-grass accompanied by a live instrumental group of five, captured the pathos of the story without sapping its beauty and strength. But the liveliness and passion of the teenaged sons of the miners, their humor, their idealism, and their heroism, completely captivated the audience throughout the two-hour show. We saw a little-known play from 2010-"The Burnt Place Boys." It's the story of the consequences on a family of a West Virginia mining disaster, when the mining company is ready to reopen a mine that is the gravesite (the "burnt place") of many of the fathers of the small community. "Intimate musical theatre" might seem like an oxymoron. freeFall Theatre is Tampa Bays most exciting professional theatre The mission of freeFall Theatre is to pursue art’s greater purposes and the transformative power of theatre as a builder of community, a source of upliftment, and a builder of cultural legacy. Whenever Robert Downey Jr., played Sherlock Holmes, I always saw Eric, McGee confesses. Last Sunday (when Freefall had a Father's Day special-Dad's got in free) our chairs were in the top row, but we still were never more than 30 feet away from the actors, and (because of the smart "pitch" of the risers) we had great sight-lines for the action performed on a rectangular stage viewed "in the round."įreefall's artistic director is exceptionally talented, so the plays (often musicals), other directors, and casts are always well-chosen, the conception is imaginative and engaging, and the pacing is impeccable. Putting a Sherlock Holmes detective story onstage has been on freeFall Theatre’s wish list for a long time, say Eric Davis and Matthew McGee, the company’s artistic director and director of community outreach, respectively. The theatre itself is simple, small, and intimate-something unusual and precious these days. I've been to several Freefall Theatre productions over the past couple of years, and have never had anything but an exceptional and satisfying theatre experience.
