Get! Out!

CIAO 2016

By PAM HARBAUGH

The cultural landscape is all about the party this weekend. Other than a comedy at Orlando Shakes, you’re not going to find much except for music at New Year’s Eve celebrations. While your delay has meant you’ve lost out getting tickets to Heidi’s Jazz Club New Year’s Eve celebration, you procrastinators are in luck because there are still tickets left to the King Center’s New Year’s Eve celebration, and to Riverside Theatre pre-New Year’s celebration this evening.

While this year has been the best of times and the worst of times, let’s give a collective kick in the butt to 2016 and pull in the right vibes to make 2017 better.
