Jul 25 Friday
Join us Friday, July 25th for a fun community contra dance! Tallahassee’s delightful Drew Thomas will be calling the dances and In Cahoots is conspiring to play us some sensational old-time tunes.
This dance is part of a double-header weekend featuring a traditional dance on July 25 and a pop/techno contra dance on July 26. Contra dancing is an upbeat, beginner-friendly American folk dance for all ages. It shares many moves with square dancing (such as swing your partner and do-si-do) and is danced in long lines to live music. The bands and callers vary each night. Come alone or bring friends–no partner or experience required. Those new to contra dancing are strongly encouraged to come by 7:15 when a Beginner Lesson will be taught, and as dances are taught in more detail early in the evening. Wear comfortable clothes and flat shoes.

Aug 09 Saturday
On Saturday, August 9, The Pyramid Players of Tallahassee-Studios will take the stage at The Moon to present "One Night In Vegas"
They say what happens in Vegas, stays in Vegas, word on the street is The Pyramid Players are ready to spill the tea! Co-written by Pyramid Studios' playwriting class and featuring a magnificent collection of songs from the early 60’s, One Night in Vegas is a smorgasbord of vintage Vegas glam and contemporary wit! It has a little bit of everything you’d expect to find in Sin City – entertainment, intrigue, jealousy, gambling, magic and, of course, love! Watch as Trixie and Vince, caught in a tug-of- war between romance and a scheming wedding planner, try to make it down the aisle to happily ever after. Will they beat the odds or are the cards stacked against them? Join us at the tables to see just who gets dealt the winning hand!
Doors open at 5 p.m. with a Pyramid-wide Art Show & Silent Auction. Hors D'oeuvres from 5-6:30. Curtain is at 7 p.m.
Admission is $15 per ticket. All tickets are general admission (first come, first serve). Tickets will be available at the door or in advance at Pyramid Studios, 1910 Commonwealth Lane, Tallahassee
