About Monsters, Inc.
There’s a reason why there are monsters in children’s closets—it’s their job. When blue furry “Sulley” accidentally lets, Boo, a tiny human girl into Monstropolis, life turns upside down for him and his one-eyed buddy Mike. Fun for the entire family.
About Ghostbusters (1984)
Bring your friends and family to watch the OG team of “Ghostbusters” battle with the “supernatural” as their means to make a living. Don’t miss the hilarious team of Bill Murray, Dan Aykroyd, and Harold Ramis in action as they take on the Stay Puft Marshmallow Man, Slimer and more!
About Jennifer Real
When it comes to captivating sounds, Jennifer Real is the real deal. Her trained musical talent inspires all who happen to hear her vocal prowess. Jennifer’s genuine enthusiasm and commanding stage presence wow audiences and make for a memorable performance. Her soulful tone and powerful vocal delivery — reminiscent of Nina Simone, Annie Lennox, and Céline Dion — has made Jennifer one of the most sought-after female vocalists, concert performers and studio musicians, in the Tampa Bay Area.
Make sure to stop by the Art Center Sarasota to view the current gallery exhibitions. (Extended hours until 7:30pm on Friday, October 20)
