         <description><![CDATA[<div>"freeFall's mission statement is: "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.</div><div>We will present a varied range of classical and new works that are bold, daring, and diverse. Our work will strive to be accessible, and we will present it in ways that invite, entertain, and challenge our audience. We are committed to improving the lives of the citizens of Tampa Bay through our efforts to provide broad access to theatre that represents a high level of artistic achievement, and through educational programs that increase the community’s understanding and enjoyment of live theatre."</div><div><br></div><div>I think we fully live up to this.  All of the theatre's in the area are alike in that they are trying to do the best work for the people who believe in and support them.  freeFall is younger than many of the companies in our area, but in the time we have been present, we have built up an incredible following.  Everyone at freeFall wears many hats, and we are all doing it for the art's sake.  All of us (like most people who do theatre in the area) work very hard because we believe in the vision and our theatre's mission. We really try to promote lesser known works and new works as well as doing well-known pieces in new and exciting ways.  We also try to do World Premieres when something really works with what freeFall does.  Our Artistic Director, Eric Davis, is quite a visionary.  I think his vision, as a director and artistic director, is the heart of freeFall Theatre's success.  Eric has always tried to push the envelope artistically, and, because of these risks, we've become a popular theatre in the area." - Susan Haldeman   </div>]]></description>

         <description><![CDATA[<div><em>White Fang<br></em>Sept 30 - Oct 22, 2017<br>A world-premiere production transferring to London in winter 2017. <br>1898. Northwestern Canada. Deep in the forests of the Yukon Territory. After the massacre of her tribe, a young girl is rescued from the snow by an old huntsman from a nearby settlement who offers shelter and the strength to survive. Torn from centuries of tradition, facing a new and violent land, she struggles to find her path in the world. An outsider to all, she discovers hope in the friendship of an abandoned wolf, White Fang. With this newfound alliance, the two unite with the land, learning the ways of her ancestors. Lethal with blade and bow, there are few who can match her skill in the wild. But when the time comes, and she faces the greatest challenge of all, will these skills be enough to make a difference? <br><a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0KFTL7r8bIM">https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0KFTL7r8bIM</a><br><br><em>The Little Prince</em><br>Nov 25 - Dec 24, 2017<br>The intoxicating classic in a vibrant new production.<br>An aviator crashes his plane in the Sahara Desert. There he meets a little prince who has left his home on Asteroid B-612 and its only other inhabitant, his beloved rose. Along the way he discovers a parade of extraordinary individuals from a king to a businessman to a fox. Each peels back another layer of what it means to be alive, ultimately revealing the importance of personal connection and sacrifice in a world that seeks to diminish that which connects us. <br><a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mfjnMxLKcgY">https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mfjnMxLKcgY</a><br><br><em>The Glass Menagerie <br></em>Jan 27 - Feb 18, 2018<br>The seminal masterpiece by one of America's greatest playwrights, Tennessee Williams.<br>Amanda Wingfield dwells in memories of her idealized youth when she entertained gentleman callers who, according to her, rivaled over her hand in marriage. With a smothering love for her children, she has driven Tom into a fantasy world of his own where he escapes into movies and solitude, wandering the midnight streets of St. Louis. His physically and emotionally fragile sister, Laura, escapes into her collection of small glass animals. This pressure cooker is released when Tom invites an acquaintance over for dinner. Amanda immediately maneuvers, seeing him as a possible husband for Laura. Will salvation for all three come from this fateful dinner  with Laura's very own gentleman caller? Or will the delicate world they've built around each other come toppling down?<br><a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rMUH1mfGS7A">https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rMUH1mfGS7A</a><br><br><em>Daddy Long Legs<br></em>Mar 17 - Apr 8, 2018<br>The charming novl that became a classic film in a new musical adaptation.<br>Jerusha Abbott is the "Oldest Orphan in the John Grier Home" until a mysterious benefactor decides to send her to college to be educated as a writer. Required to write him a letter once a month, she is never to know the benefactor's identity - so she invents one for him: Daddy Long Legs. Although she knows that he will never respond to her letters, she grows more and more fond of this elusive and kindly "old" gentleman. But another relationship soon begins too develop in Jerusha's life. Jervis Pendleton is the well-to-do, "youngish" uncle of one of Jerusha's roommates, who introduces her to a world of literature, travel, and adventure. Through her correspondence with Daddy Long Legs and her growing intimacy with Jervis, Jerusha's letters chronicle her emergence as a delightfully independent "New American Woman." Yet, there is one startling fact that Jerusha has yet to uncover - a fact that will change her life forever.<br><a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8_fdTCG5f0o">https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8_fdTCG5f0o</a><br><br><em>The Machine Stops<br></em>May 5 - May 27, 2018<br>Forster's precient 1909 story that predicted our reliance on the internet.<br>E.M. Forster's prescient short story, penned in 1909, predicts a world with chilling similarities to our own. Set in a dystopian future where people live isolated from one another in identical rooms and only interact through The Machine, Forster's story seems to astutely predict technologies that evoke the internet, text messaging, and social media. For The Machine is an omnipotent technology that provides everything one could want, eliminating the need to ever leave one's room. Vashti is content with life as it is but her son Kuno believes there must be more to life, and ventures to the surface. What he finds there will change him forever. <br><a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=28HlCNrGZpU">https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=28HlCNrGZpU</a><br><br><em>The Musical of Musicals the Musical!<br></em>Jun 23- Jul 15, 2018<br>A musically musical musical inspired by the musical writers that brought us musicals.<br>From a humble, classic American plot come not one, not three, but five musical adaptations as though they were written by five of the most influential musical theatre writers or writing teams of all time. There is a Rodgers &amp; Hammerstein version, set in Kansas in August, complete with a dream ballet; a Sondheim version, featuring the landlord as a tortured artistic genius who slashes the throats of his tenants in revenge for not appreciating his work; a Jerry Herman version, as a splashy star vehicle; an Andrew Lloyd Webber version, a rock musical with themes borrowed from Puccini; and a Kander &amp; Ebb version, set in a speakeasy in Chicago. This hilarious musical pays loving tribute to the traditions of musical theatre while mercilessly lampooning them to shreds. <br><a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=h87ThaM0S90">https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=h87ThaM0S90</a><br><br></div>]]></description>

         <description><![CDATA[<div>"Our shows are primarily done in our blackbox theatre space which has between 130-150 seats.  We typically change the seating arrangement each show.  All of our risers and seats can be broken down and are removable, so that is something that make our experience unique in the Tampa Bay area.  Every time you enter the theatre, it is a different experience.  Sometimes we even take the seats out and do environmental seating where the audience sits on pieces of furniture that are within the set.  So people are sitting inside the action. We also have another space that we use for rentals in the other building that is on, what we refer to as, "our campus".  <br><br>This past season we were hit really hard by hurricane Irma.  The roof came off of our main performance space and it had to be completely re-done.  We were very fortunate that we had an outpouring of support from the community and that we had another performance space that we could move the show we were in rehearsals for into.  We had to push the show back by a week and open a week later than expected, but we got the other space up (which was not ready for that size show) and running.  It was a true testament to what can happen when an entire community works together to make something happen as well as to the freeFall staff that jumped right in and made the show work in a completely different space." - Susan Haldeman<br><br>freeFall received a matching donation of $100,000 by Katie Tiedemann and Ellen Cotton<br><br><a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wQUZKgJlGPU">https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wQUZKgJlGPU</a></div>]]></description>

         <description><![CDATA[<div>You are create an account on auditions.freefall.com to be put on a mailing list to be notified for any auditions coming up. You are able to audition in many ways dependent on the show. freeFall attends the UPTA and FPTA auditions. If you are not able to attend either event you can send a video submission for the role.<br><br>"I went to an open call for the company’s 2013-2014 season in June of 2013 knowing that the show I was most “right” for was not until summer of 2014. I sang 16 bars of musical theatre repertoire and performed a monologue that I connected to. After performing for Eric Davis and the then-Company Manager Jim Sorensen (who now holds a similar position at American Stage, the bay area’s only other Equity theatre), I was able to chat with them about me. Eric was interested that I went to Blake High School for the Arts because he used to teach there. I realized that getting to know me as a person was just as important to them as learning about my skills as a performer. However, after that, I heard nothing for months. In November, I invited Eric to see my high school’s performance of <em>Company</em>, and surprisingly he came! Still nothing for months, then in April I got a call from Jim that I was cast in <em>The Burnt Part Boys</em>. I was later told that my performance in <em>Company</em> was my “callback”. The rest is history!" - Cameron Kubly <br><br>"We see several thousand actors each year to fill approximately 25-50 roles. We see actors at an annual local audition which we are required by the actors' union to hold. We also see actors at several state and national unified auditions where we get together with many other theatres to see many actors at once. We also seek and accept many submissions by video via the internet." - Eric Davis</div>]]></description>

         <description><![CDATA[<div>"I became involved with freeFall first as an actor in 2014, so after building a connection with the staff, I expressed interest in working in the box office and they hired me straight away. I didn’t really interview formally, but building a connection with the company as an actor was an important step in getting the box office job.<br><br>During the run of the <em>Peter </em>plays, I was in my fall semester of Junior year at USF. I had just finished a short run of <em>Sweet Charity </em>and went directly from our last performance on a Sunday to my first rehearsal at freeFall on Tuesday. Being busy was actually very exhilarating. I had the best professors who supported the fact that I was doing professional work and allowed me to leave class early a few times to get to rehearsal. Luckily, freeFall had a lot of local actors with day-jobs during the <em>Peters</em> and rehearsed in the evenings mostly, unlike <em>Burnt Part</em> which took place over the summer and rehearsed mornings and afternoons. Anyway, as fate would have it, tech week was also exam week. It was stressful. I drove far too much and ate far too much fast food. But I got good marks on my exams and final showings for performance classes and opened two shows in a span of 4 weeks, so I felt pretty great. The play played through Christmas break and into the first 3 weeks of the spring semester. Luckily, our weeknight performances started at 7 and I had plenty of time to drive between class and the theatre. All in all, it was a great experience and really enriched my learning at school by showing me real world applications of what I was being taught. Get involved outside USF! It’s the best way to get a head start in an industry that can feel like you’re constantly trying to keep your head above water.</div><div><br> I live in New York now but would go back to do any show at freeFall in a heartbeat." - Cameron Kubly</div>]]></description>

         <description><![CDATA[<div>"We do have some programs that we have started this year.&nbsp; We have freeFall Under 40, which allows people who are under the age of 40 to get a deeply discounted season ticket where they come to an assigned night during the performance and on that night we have a get-together for all of them. We also implemented some audience enrichment programs in the last couple of years.&nbsp; We have talkbacks with the cast and director every Friday after the show.&nbsp; We also have, typically before the show on the final 2 Sundays, our freeFall Foreward which gives people a more in depth look at the show and the writer.&nbsp; This is given by our resident Patron Services Manager and Dramaturg, Timothy Saunders. Every summer we also take a group of patrons to the Oregon Shakespeare festival where we see 9-10 shows in a week." - Susan Haldeman&nbsp;</div><div><br><br></div>]]></description>
