  • Location: Phillips Center for the Performing Arts, 315 Hull Road, Gainesville, FL 32611

"State of Wonder" along with our 41st Anniversary Concert

"State of Wonder" will feature original music by Florida composer, Dave LaGrande and songs by local band, Sister Hazel.

Enjoy original jazz, lyrical, tap and contemporary movement as we take a fictional journey with young Marj basking in the sun on the beach with jazzy tourists as she gets pulled into a riptide and the state comes alive with magic. On her adventure we meet the Mermaids of Weeki Wachee Springs, swashbuckling Buccaneers, flocks of birds, sea turtles, seagrass showgirls, our Manatee MC Fresh of the Club Tropicana and more.

​Inspired by the works of incredible activist and writer Marjorie Stoneman Douglas, Marj learns the importance of caring for the natural world around us as the Wise Oak Tree comes to life and warns her to leave no trace.
