Three Free Community Screenings Presented by QC®
TAMPA, Fla. (May 4, 2026) – Tampa is fanatical about a number of things: Lightning hockey. The proper way to make a Cuban sandwich. And near the top of that list, Tampa Theatre Sing-Alongs. With Tampa Theatre’s historic auditorium closed for restoration ahead of its 100th anniversary in October, the majestic movie palace is taking the show on the road with a series of FREE Summer Sing-Along Screenings on select Sundays at Sparkman Wharf, presented by QC:
- High School Musical (2006)
6:30 pm Sunday, June 28
Twenty years after its release and riding a powerful wave of early-aughts nostalgia, High School Musical is bringing a whole new generation into the warm, color-blocked embrace of sugar-sweet high school drama and keeping those of us who remember it the first time around bopping to the songs and singing right along. We’re all in this together, after all. 1h 38m / G / Family, Musical
- The Little Mermaid (2023)
6:30 pm Sunday, July 26
The 1989 original captivated audiences and revolutionized Disney animation with the story of Ariel, a bubbly, adventurous young mermaid who longed to understand life on dry land. Two generations later, Ariel was brought to a whole new dimension in a live-action version starring Halle Bailey, Melissa McCarthy and Javier Bardem that expands on Ariel’s powerful drive to broaden her horizons and find her true path. 2h 15m / PG / Family, Fantasy
- Wicked (2024)
6:30 pm Sunday, Aug. 23
Elphaba (Cynthia Erivo), an ambitious and driven young witch who is misunderstood and outcast because of her green skin, and Galinda (Ariana Grande), an enchanting charmer and definitely one of the popular girls, become unlikely friends at Shiz University in the Land of Oz. Wicked! First it was a 1995 novel reimagining/expanding on plot elements in The Wizard of Oz, then it was a gigantic smash-hit Broadway musical, then it was a genre of TikToks, then it was nominated for an Academy Award for Best Picture, and now you personally can finally belt out “Defying Gravity” at the volume it deserves. 2h 40m / PG / Musical, Fantasy
The first 100 guests at each show will also receive a free LED fan, courtesy of series sponsor QC, and a free bag of Tampa Theatre’s famous popcorn, starting at 6:00 pm.
Tampa Theatre On The Road screenings are FREE and open to the public. For more information, visit TampaTheatre.org
