Nature’s Food Patch

Nature’s Food Patch
The Orpheum, 1915 E 7th Ave, Tampa, FL, 33605

Nature’s Food Patch was founded in 1987 by Mr. Amort after being diagnosed with cancer. He decided to fight the cancer by living a macrobiotic lifestyle. With his desire and passion in wanting to help others improve their health, he decided to buy and refurbish the Clearwater Community Co-op (est. 1976)… and The Patch was born! For 35 years, his enthusiastic support for the natural foods movement lives on. His children preserve his legacy by continuing to inspire our community through knowledge and providing better nutrition for a healthier lifestyle. In 2018, The Patch expanded their community and opened a second location in Downtown Dunedin! Featuring the cafe, grab-and-go along with catering and deli specials, you can’t go wrong stopping in after a long day at the beach for a healthy pick me up.

Venice Theatre

Venice Theatre
140 Tampa Ave. W. Venice, Fl. 34285

When the then-Venice Little Theatre mounted its first production in the 1950s, it did so in a borrowed building, had no paid staff, operated entirely with volunteers, and its only revenue came from sales of the $2 tickets. Today, Venice Theatre is, per capita, the largest community theatre in the United States with an operating budget of almost four million dollars, a professional staff, and an honored place in the history of Venice, Florida. This coming weekend would be the perfect opportunity to check out this amazing theatre. This Little Light of Mine, starring Syreeta Banks, is playing on the 24th and 25th of July. Syreeta sings some of her favorite songs that have helped foster growth, healing, and encouragement during her life’s journey. Songs that speak on love, faith, fame, and shining one’s light into the world and not being afraid to shine! Additional shows and events can be found on the website. Check out an amazing production soon!

Cassariano Italian Eatery

Cassariano Italian Eatery
313 W. Venice Avenue, Venice, FL 34285

The restaurant’s name is a combination of both partner’s last names; Luca Cassani and Antonio Pariano, both born and raised in Northern Italy. After years of working together in the restaurant business both Luca & Antonio made the decision to venture out on their own and open Cassariano Italian Eatery. Driven by their strong passion for food and a deep love for their profession, these partners prepare authentic contemporary Italian cuisine while cultivating a casual, relaxed atmosphere for their patrons. Cassariano is the perfect blend of Bistro flavors and fine cuisine. We look forward to exceeding your expectations! Come in and see this strong passion for food evidenced in every menu item.

Great Balls of Fire

Great Balls of Fire
1241 North Palm Avenue, Sarasota, FL 34236

Jerry Lee Lewis was the original bad boy of Rock & Roll. Led by Jason Cohen, who has played Lewis in nearly 80 cities across North America, Great Balls of Fire brings the ivory-smashing superstar back to life. With hits from the ‘50s and beyond, including “Good Golly, Miss Molly,” “Shake, Rattle, and Roll,” and “Whole Lotta Shakin’ Goin’ On,” this electrifying act will have you dancing in your seat. This amazing show is being featured at Florida Studio Theatre, John. C Court Cabaret that is located in The Hegner Theatre Wing on the corner of Cocoanut and 1st Street in Sarasota. It opened in 2013 and, similar to the Goldstein Cabaret, was built in the Parisian Cabaret style. Seating 100, this intimate space features a full stage with full technical capability that includes theatre lighting and sound. Plan an amazing night out for this show or others coming in the near future.
