Theater with a Mission
Theater with a Mission (TWAM) creates performances that bring you face to face with fascinating figures from Florida’s past, so we can gain a deeper appreciation of our ancestry, a better understanding of the problems and opportunities we face today, and a clearer vision of where we want to go in the future.
TWAM is delighted to be joining the Wakulla Chamber during the 200th anniversary of Florida becoming US Territory. Wakulla County has played a big part in TWAM’s career. In 2013, to commemorate 500 years of contact between Florida and Spain, TWAM translated the first play to put Florida history onstage – Lope de Vega’s Nuevo mundo (1599) – and toured it as Lope’s (small) New World. The very first performance in the tour took place in the Old Wakulla Courthouse, sponsored by Herb Donaldson from Palaver Tree Theatre and Madeleine Carr from the Wakulla Historical Society.
In 2016, TWAM started developing Loco for Love. The project started as a wrestling match between Shakespeare and Cervantes, then grew into a full-fledged festival that features hands-on encounters with dueling, dancing, dining, and drama. Again, Wakulla County played a pivotal role, as Wakulla School Board member Verna Brock showcased performances of funny plays, Wakulla resident Crystl Palacio led salsa dance workshops, and TWAM marched through downtown Crawfordville in Valentine’s and St. Patrick’s Day parades.
This year, the Loco for Love Festival is going completely virtual but staying intensely up close and personal. In the course of one glorious day – Saturday, March 27, from 11 a.m. till 7 p.m. – you can learn how to build puppets and tell your own story about Florida, hear Native American storyteller Misty Penton share secrets from Florida’s Indian past, try out dance steps from George Washington’s Birthday Ball, mix up a beverage that people enjoyed in Spanish Florida, propose a toast to Florida Territory, sing along with a song that sailors used 200 years ago to haul boats up Florida rivers, dress up and join the Milestones in Florida History Parade, and be an eyewitness as TWAM presents the world premiere of Florida for Sale, where people from the 1820s tell you in their own words what they think of Florida becoming part of the United States.
Most performances in the schedule last 15 minutes, and all of them are being recorded, so you sample several delights live on Saturday, then return to do more sampling via recordings. Tickets are free. Get yours by clicking on the registration link at www.theaterwithamission.com.

Risk-Taking and Leadership (Virtual Webinar) Hosted by: The Performance Innovation Institute @ TCC March 30, 2021 @ 11:00a.m. EST
The Performance Innovation Institute @ TCC is offering another webinar on March 30th at 11:00am. I know many of you attended last month’s “Servant Leadership” webinar and the feedback was amazing. The title for March is “Risk-Taking and Leadership: How One Small Step Can Lead You into the Path of Innovation and Finding Greater Purpose”.
Many leaders have a clear vision for their lives. They are willing to go through tough waters to achieve their vision. However, they know that the greater the vision, the greater the focus needed, the greater the risks taken, and hopefully, the greater the reward. In nearly every major industry and field, successful leaders are the ones who can easily identify a risky decision, take measured steps to move forward, and develop the fundamental relationships that help guide the process. This session is purposed to encourage you to begin laying a framework for your goals through an intrapreneurial framework and develop meaningful strategies that open doors of opportunity for you, your business, and your future.
Join Dr. Angela Long, a nationally recognized speaker, researcher, and author, as she presents this engaging webinar. REGISTER HERE!
