Tampa Bay Live Performance: Upstairs/Downstairs

Quality entertainment is hard to find. Even harder is quality entertainment that is educational. Combine that with any desire to avoid increasing your screen time, and you’ve essentially created an impossible task for yourself. Unless you live in the Tampa Bay area, that is. In Tampa, the live performance of Upstairs/Downstairs at the Henry Plant Museum completes all three parts of the equation.

Upstairs/Downstairs

Step back in time and enjoy the performances that bring turn-of–the-century Tampa Bay Hotel staff and guests to life. Each character is based on actual staff and guests who worked at or visited the hotel at one point or another. Based on original research conducted by the Henry Plant Museum, each character masterfully recreates the attitudes and customs of a time many have forgotten, as well as re-enacting the sorrows and joys of the lives their characters lived. Through watching the performance, you can catch a glimpse of what life at the Hotel through the eyes of each individual character was like. From the reminiscences of its founder Henry Plant that clues us in on what led him to build such a palace, to the letters home written by a Spanish-American War soldier who spent his life fighting, you will learn more about the time period through each character’s particular view point.

You can see this wonderful performance at the Henry Plant Museum, located at 401 W Kennedy Blvd after 2pm everyday that the museum is open until May 26. The museum is closed on national holidays. Performances are 30 minutes each, and are included with admission to the museum, which is $10 for adults, $5 for children, and $7 for students and senior citizens. Arrive early as limited seating is available on a first-come first-served basis.

Especially don’t forget to applaud the hard work of the actors!
