8-11-11, What a GREAT Day for Tampa!!!!  After 30 years, 10+ locations Stageworks Theatre opens in it’s first permanent location!!!  With all the flair of a Broadway Opening, guests were treated to the very first performance in “The Stageworks Theatre Grand” new home in Channelside District. The big star of the show is theatre founder, Anna Brennen,, the heart and soul of Stageworks. Her imaginative persistent vision enabled a new visual art facility for Tampa’s growing multi-art scene. Mark & Carrie were proud to be a part of the ribbon cutting ceremonies and even had our names on several of the past performed play posters we co-sponsored during the last 20 years!  Tampa councilman Frank Reddick presented Stageworks with a check for $125,000 to help in the final details from the Channelside CRA fund. Congratulations to Stageworks!!!! You did it!!!!
