At 7 p.m., you can tour the museum exhibits, shop the museum store or stroll the picturesque Riverwalk. When you’ve had your fill of visual stimulation, walk over to the first-class Straz Center for the Performing Arts for more socializing and imbibing.
The evening will culminate at 8 p.m. with a Stageworks performance of As Bees in Honey Drown, a comedy by Douglas Carter Beane, at the Shimberg Playhouse, Straz Center. The play will end about 10:15 p.m.

About the show:
As Bees in Honey Drown is a riotous summer romp about the pitfalls of unquenchable hunger for fame and fortune. Don’t miss this suspenseful excavation of the world of celebrity and luxury in Manhattan and Hollywood. It’s an Obie Award-winning, sexy, witty comedy!
