The Annie Russell Theatre at Rollins College in Winter Park, Florida, concludes its 83rd season with the iconic Hello, Dolly! by Michael Stewart and Jerry Herman.

A rocket scientist walks into an art gallery to review an opening….
This may sound like the start of a joke, but it’s a true story. Brad Biggs, founder and owner of Art for All Spaces asked this former Aerospace Engineer to write a review of the March 18, 2016 opening at CityArts Factory at 29 S Orange Ave, in downtown Orlando -- from a scientist’s perspective. The show continues through April 9th, with gallery hours M to F from 11 am to 6 pm.
You may consider this a love letter to the Orlando Ballet Company.
