  • LIZZIE: THE MUSICAL is an electrifying, wall-rattling, rock musical. It is a unique retelling of the saga of Lizzie Borden, who in 1892 was tried and acquitted of two murders in Fall River, Massachusetts. Her story, an infamous tale in American Folklore, has been the subject of many films, novels, and even a popular children’s jump rope jingle. The cult status of Lizzie Borden is such that the house where the Borden family lived and where the murders took place, has become one of the most popular “Haunted Bed and Breakfasts” in the country. While the innocence of Lizzie Borden has long been debated and no one was ever convicted of the murders, Lizzie Borden has consistently remained the main suspect.

    PenArts, Pensacola's professional theatre company, is thrilled to bring this musical to Pensacola for the first time ever. It will be presented at The Gordon (306 N DeVilliers St). There is a free parking lot adjacent to The Gordon as well as free street parking. The doors to the lobby will open at 7pm.

    Tickets: www.penarts.org

To find their ingenious killer, Holmes and Watson must brave the desolate moors before a family curse dooms the next heir.

Join the fun and see how far from elementary the truth can be.
  • Join Bike Pensacola for the most popular bike ride in town—the Slow Ride! Each month we explore the quiet, scenic streets of Pensacola's many historic neighborhoods for a fun and leisurely ride among friends.

    For September our host is From the Ground Up Community Garden, and our sponsor is IMEG--an employee-owned engineering design company with an office in downtown Pensacola. The Garden is hosting a “Really Really Really Free Market" as part of the event, a community yard sale where everything is FREE.
    Because most cyclists are “self taught,” each month we offer information about bicycle laws, safety tips, and addressing different bicycling skills that will help keep rides safe and enjoyable. There is no charge for the ride and no registration required.

    The ride will be about one hour and ten minutes long, at a casual pace. Nobody will be “dropped” or left behind. Children ages 10 - 16 must be accompanied by an adult; no kids under 10 on their own bicycle. Cyclists under 16 must wear a helmet by law; ages 16 and up helmets are recommended but are not required by law. And we will enjoy a ride escort by officers of the Pensacola Police Department.
