Event Type 2: Ocala

It’s Christmas in Tuna – the third-smallest town in Texas. The radio is abuzz with news of the Yuletide yard display competition (vandalized by a shady “phantom”), while unpaid electric bills jeopardize a production of A Christmas Carol. And two versatile actors play 20 zany characters in this lightning-fast comedy as broad as the Rio Grande. Everything’s bigger in Texas, including the holiday hilarity. This Southern-fried fruitcake is a gift for all seasons!

$35 for adults / $17 for ages 18 and younger

The City of Ocala Cultural Arts Division announces the debut of four dynamic visual art exhibitions as part of the Art in City Spaces program. Launching throughout December, these exhibits showcase a variety of artistic perspectives, offering residents and visitors the chance to experience thought-provoking and inspiring works in accessible public spaces.

The Art in City Spaces program aims to enrich Ocala’s cultural landscape by creating opportunities for local and regional artists to exhibit their work while engaging the community with diverse and innovative art. These exhibitions rotate every four to six months across five indoor city galleries.

Join us Tuesday mornings at 9 to discuss current topics, technology, and events in real estate. Bring your questions and your stories! Relay your best practices & share valuable information about what you’ve learned. Let’s create new solutions to some of the challenges we face daily in the industry.

Why do expensive wearable physiologic monitors fail to deliver on promises that they will improve our health and performance? Surprisingly, the quality of physiological data from wearable devices such as smart watches is relatively poor – and it worsens when you are sick, active or in extreme environments. While security and privacy constrain sharing and remote analysis of these data, processor cores and batteries limit artificial intelligence algorithms that can be used to analyze data on these devices. Finally, available devices do not provide users actionable information about their health, stress, and recovery when they need it most. Ongoing Department of Defense and industry sponsored research at IHMC is pushing beyond these limitations. We highlight development of technologies such as advanced physiological sensors, tactical noninvasive nerve stimulators, and novel “e-skin” materials that enable us to successfully assess and augment performance in extreme environments.

December holiday party for GOWC members. Don’t forget to wear your ugly Christmas/Holiday sweater!

Starting in September – Cornhole Tournament every Tuesday at 100 Proof Salon!

Event Announcement:
ACT OUT Night

Calling all aspiring actors and performers!

We’ve got karaoke for singers, open mics for stand-up comics, and jam sessions for musicians. But where do actors go to practice and perform?

Introducing ACT OUT Night, a safe and supportive space for actors to shine. Whether you’re an experienced actor looking to try a new character or someone who’s never acted before, this is your chance to take the stage.

Here’s what to expect:

• Acting Performances: For the first half of the evening, it’s all about acting. Bring a monologue you’ve worked on or choose one from our provided selection. Memorized or not, it’s your call. And remember, feedback is entirely up to you—no unsolicited critiques allowed.
• After Party Performances: The second half opens up to other art forms. Sing a Broadway tune, test out new stand-up material, or even perform a bit of drag. This is your time to explore and express.

ACT OUT Night isn’t just about performing; it’s about building a community where everyone feels encouraged and celebrated. So, step out of your comfort zone and join us for a night of creativity, fun, and applause.

Because who knows where it might lead? At the very least, it’s a lot more exciting than performing in front of your bathroom mirror. Let’s ACT OUT together!
