  Learn about the history, mythology, and art of the Tampa Theatre, one of the country's best-preserved examples of grand movie-palace architecture. Built in 1926, the ornate theatre is listed in the National Register of Historic Places and is a Tampa city landmark. Reservations requested for groups over 10.

SUNDAY

3 p.m.

• The Tampa Theatre closes out its "Summer Classics" film series with a showing of the 1924 version of "Peter Pan." Cliff Shaffer provides live musical accompaniment to the film on the theater's Mighty Wurlitzer organ. Although this is a silent movie, the theater encourages the audience to come along to Never Never Land and cheer, gasp, laugh out loud and thrill to the special effects (as impressive today as they were back then).
