Performing the operetta will be a cast of 20 from the Century Opera Company, which evolved from the Tarpon Operetta Company founded 13 years ago, and casting students from local elementary schools. Both children and adults will perform Alice and the Eight Princesses. Tickets cost $8 for center members, and $6 for students. For information, call (727) 942-5605.
