At one-year anniversary for “Off The Wall” series, Your Real Stories features St. Pete arts leader
ST. PETERSBURG, Fla. — Your Real Stories
presents Off The Wall on July 23rd at the ArtsXchange,
marking the one-year-anniversary of its monthly “Theatrical Journalism”
storytelling series.
“Live performances in intimate settings based on local stories that bridge the human experience,” July’s Off The Wall features a script from an interview with Margaret Murray – St. Petersburg native and community leader instrumental in the development of arts, film, and theatre culture in the Bay area. Having created, run, and supported a range of civic causes and artistic endeavors, Murray is now Associate Curator of Public Programs at the Museum of Fine Arts St. Petersburg.
The script will be performed by actor Vickie Daignault. Vickie has appeared on regional theatre stages across the globe, from Lamb’s Theater, to DeBron Center, American Stage, and in film and television. Her most recent film, Epiphany, is touring Florida Film Festivals. (Full bios available.)
