From the final curtain call of a Broadway blockbuster to unique local shopping experiences, there is something for everyone to enjoy today across the First Coast.
Theater and Stage Performances

This high-energy jukebox musical offers two final performances today at 1:00 PM and 6:30 PM. It is a world of glitz and grandeur that has captivated local audiences all week, featuring a score of over 70 pop hits in a breathtaking setting.
For those seeking a classic family-friendly production, the Artist Connection Theatre is hosting the final day of Lionel Bart's Oliver! based on the Charles Dickens novel. It is an excellent opportunity to support local community theater and experience this beloved story about the boy who asked for more.
