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.

Alan Tripp is an 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.

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!
