FRI. JUL 24, SAT. JUL 25 AND SUN. JUL 26 - "LET'S MURDER MARSHA" PERFORMED BY THE PELICAN PLAYERS!

Audiences from Sun City Center and all surrounding communities will have four opportunities to see the play starting Friday, July 24 at 6:30 p.m.; Saturday, July 25 at 1:30 and 6:30 p.m.; and Sunday, July 26 at 1:30 p.m. Doors open 30 minutes before curtain. All performances are at the KP Veterans Theater,1900 Clubhouse Dr, SCC. Tickets are on sale now at the KP Box Office from 8:30 a.m. to 4 p.m., Monday-Friday. Evening performances are $18; $15 for matinees. Tickets will also be sold at the door for each show; no credit cards accepted at the door and correct change is appreciated. Seating is reserved, cabaret-style plus open bleacher seating; BYO drinks and snacks! Riotous comedy and hilarious mishaps will keep the audience laughing from start to finish in “Let’s Murder Marsha,” a giddy romp through the paranoid reality of Marsha Gilmore, a housewife addicted to mystery novels. When she overhears something she shouldn’t, Marsha rushes around frantically trying to figure out how to keep from getting bumped off. The plot becomes increasingly hilarious as the play continues, with misunderstandings galore, nutty characters, and a cat-and-mouse game between two factions with wildly different motives. “‘Let’s Murder Marsha’ is a fast, playful farce built on secrets, chaos, and big laughs,” say Director Kevin Steinke and Assistant Director Gwen Brown. “As directors, we’re leaning into the momentum and letting the comedy sparkle.” Michele Horvath is the stage manager. The part of Marsha Gilmore is played by Donna Fiore; Bianca by Dawna Gantvoort; Persis Devore by Julie Ramsey; Tobias Gilmore by Bob Horvath; Virgil Baxter by James Williams; Lynette by Jeanne Naish; and Ben Quade by Peter Geller. Founded in 1981, the Pelican Players Community Theater, a 501(c)(3) organization run by volunteers, aims to promote the dramatic arts through the staging of productions and educational activities. All profits go toward the Pelican Players Scholarship Fund, handled by Community Foundation Tampa Bay, benefiting local students pursuing the arts.

Don’t miss this opportunity to bring your entire group to this family-friendly concert. Alan Curtis Tripp has been referred to by credible sources as A GENIOUS! He is an INCREDIBLY talented and accomplished pianist, entertainer, composer, educator, and advocate whose diverse performance career spans two decades. Proficient in Classical, Jazz, Pop, and Sacred styles, he is equally at home in the concert hall, the church, the theater, and the jazz club. In recent years, he has devoted significant time to arranging and composing with a particular focus on musical scores for film. Over the last 20 years, Alan has performed concerts across 45 states and 22 countries, with appearances ranging from the University of Chihuahua Music Conservatory, to cathedrals in Spain, to repeat appearances as a performer at the Mount Hermon Conference Grounds in California, to world-class concert halls in Colorado, theaters in Tennessee, the Green Mill in Chicago, and hotels in Morocco. Alan also serves extensively in charity and concert work through MissionGO, an evangelical mission gency that does community development, church planting, and medical outreach globally. MissionGO has been ministering in more than 40 countries for over 80 years, and Alan feels deeply called to use music to benefit audiences, bring healing, encouragement, and inspiration, and help address serious world issues. Known for a sense of humor that audiences have compared to the late Victor Borge, Alan loves improvisation of all kinds. This was evident when Alan performed for years touring with a dueling pianos act called Captivating Keyboards which he did here at the church several years ago. Alan is honored to return for his July 24, 2026, concert at Sun City United Methodist Church.

Chris “Kid” Royal has enjoyed a career in music spanning over 30 years. Based in St. Petersburg, Fl, Chris has a history in the blues music scene. In the blues genre, history is important and somewhat uncommon for his age. Chris has played in various countries and festivals around the globe including the Montreal Jazz Festival and Notodden Blues Festival in Norway. He has opened for such acts as Eric Burdon and Peter Frampton. He has also played alongside such luminaries as Jeff Healey. Recently, “Kid” has shared stages, trading licks with Eric Gales, Sue Foley, and his biggest musical hero, Ronnie Earl. Ronnie Earl and “Kid” played together at a Hospice for the homeless during the Utah Blues Festival (2019), sharing the healing power of music with those most in need. He began his career with Chicago Pete and Douglas Watson (the son of Muddy Waters’ piano player, Lovie Lee) at the remarkably young age of 15. Hailing from a musical family in London, ON, Canada, Chris’ mother, Linda, was a singer who had members of The Band and Janis Joplin’s band sitting in at her gigs. As a result of her influence, Chris began a musical career of his own. He quickly became known locally as a guitar prodigy. Chris ventured to Austin, TX, at the age of 16, where he met the great Clifford Antone. (Antone’s in Austin was the hang out and home to Texas blues). Antone was so impressed by Chris, he asked him to stay in Austin to learn more about the blues. He continues to be a presence in music and share his love of the blues where ever and when ever the opportunity strikes! Join us at The Firehouse Center Stage: Music to welcome the Kid Royal Band!
