SUMMARY:Death Becomes Her -- Straz Center
DESCRIPTION:Death Becomes Her is the Tony-winning stage musical based on the 1992 Robert Zemeckis film about two rival women — played on screen by Meryl Streep and Goldie Hawn — who both drink a magic potion promising eternal youth\, then spend the rest of the story literally falling apart while refusing to die. The stage version keeps the film’s most famous gags as live illusions: a 360-degree head-spin trick done with stunt doubles and timed stagecraft\, a staircase tumble designed by an actual illusion designer\, and a shotgun blast through one character’s stomach shown as a cloud of smoke instead of the film’s visible hole. It’s played in front of a live orchestra on a proscenium the production itself describes as IMAX-screen-sized. \nIt premiered in Chicago in May 2024\, moved to Broadway’s Lunt-Fontanne Theatre that November\, and closed its Broadway run in June 2026 after 650 performances — a real\, completed hit\, not an untested property\, before launching this national tour. \nIt’s a comedy built on vanity\, aging\, and dark slapstick violence played for laughs — fine for teens and adults\, but the humor (and some of the gorier illusions) will go over younger kids’ heads or just not land as funny. \nGood to know: Carol Morsani Hall\, Straz Center\, 1010 N W.C. MacInnes Pl\, Tampa\, FL 33602. Dec. 8-13\, mostly 7:30pm evenings with a Saturday 2pm matinee and Sunday 1pm and 6:30pm shows. Tickets from around $85-120\, through Ticketmaster. \nBuy Death Becomes Her Tickets

SUMMARY:Next Generation Ballet: The Nutcracker -- Straz Center
DESCRIPTION:This isn’t a school recital. Next Generation Ballet is the Straz Center’s resident pre-professional company\, founded in 2010 and modeled on the New World Symphony’s model in Miami — pairing serious young dancers with real coaching and real performance stakes as a pipeline toward actual professional ballet careers\, not just a holiday showcase. Their annual Nutcracker\, set to Tchaikovsky’s 1892 score\, has become a genuine Tampa Bay holiday tradition in its own right\, running five days with multiple matinees. \nIt’s the classic\, family-friendly version of the story — Clara\, the Nutcracker Prince\, the Mouse King\, the Sugar Plum Fairy — built for all ages\, and the multiple matinee times make it far easier to work a young family’s schedule around than a single-showtime touring act. \nGood to know: Carol Morsani Hall\, Straz Center\, 1010 N W.C. MacInnes Pl\, Tampa\, FL 33602. Dec. 18-22 — Fri 7pm\, Sat 2pm & 7pm\, Sun 1pm & 6pm\, Tue 2pm. Tickets from $21.25 through the Straz Center box office\, (813) 229-7827. Outside Pasco County — a worth-the-drive pick. \nTickets at the Straz Center

SUMMARY:2026 USPA National Collegiate Skydiving Championships
DESCRIPTION:Zephyrhills’ own city motto is “Jump Right In.” That’s not a slogan a tourism board invented for this piece — it’s been the city’s for years\, and it’s built on a dropzone that calls itself\, on its own gate and website\, “The World Famous Z-Hills.” For six days this winter\, that dropzone hosts a national championship. \nThe USPA National Collegiate Skydiving Championships run Monday\, Dec. 28\, 2026 through Saturday\, Jan. 2\, 2027 at Skydive City\, the Zephyrhills dropzone that’s been operating for more than 30 years. College skydiving teams from around the country compete across five disciplines: 2-way formation skydiving\, 4-way formation skydiving\, 6-way formation skydiving\, sport accuracy\, and 2-way vertical formation skydiving. Teams build and hold formations in freefall\, then get scored jump after jump through the week. \nSkydive City isn’t making up its own hype here. By its own published numbers\, skydivers from more than 80 countries\, every U.S. state and every Canadian province have jumped at this dropzone — the kind of reach that’s hard to find anywhere else in Pasco County. The same facility hosted the USPA’s Canopy Piloting Nationals this past September\, where competitors flew into a dedicated competition swoop pond at speeds that make the sport look more like an air show than a hobby. \nWatching doesn’t require a ticket or a jump of your own. This dropzone has a history of keeping its competitions open to the public — lawn chairs\, sunscreen and binoculars recommended\, with restrooms\, picnic tables and an onsite restaurant on the grounds — making it a legitimate family afternoon for anyone who just wants to watch parachutes come down\, not a specialist-only event. That said\, that open-to-spectators pattern is based on how this dropzone has run its other recent competitions; nothing on the collegiate championship’s own page spells out spectator policy specifically\, so call ahead if you’re planning a special trip just to watch. \nOne thing worth knowing before driving out: the schedule runs straight into Skydive City’s own New Year’s event\, Winterfest\, which overlaps the tail end of the collegiate week (Dec. 30-Jan. 3). Expect the grounds to be busy with recreational jumpers on top of the college teams. \nGood to know: Skydive City Z-Hills\, 4241 Sky Dive Lane\, Zephyrhills\, FL 33542. Monday\, Dec. 28\, 2026 through Saturday\, Jan. 2\, 2027\, 8am-6pm daily. Free to watch from the ground; competitors register through USPA. \nPhoto: Skydive City\, from the dropzone’s own website. Representative image of night jumps over the dropzone’s swoop pond\, not the collegiate championship itself. \nMore info: College Skydiving Teams Chase National Titles at Zephyrhills' World-Famous Z-Hills This Winter
