What great news about the possible Performing Arts Center. I was a Master Usher for years at the Tampa Bay Performing Arts Center and this was one of the things I really hated to give up when moving to The Villages. The Tampa Bay Performing Arts Center is the largest theater of its type in the south eastern US. It has five theaters including Morisani Hall which seats 2900 people. It was great fun ushering as we got to see all the big name shows and entertainers because of the draw they get from throughout central Florida. A performing arts center in the Villages would get a big draw as well.
