Gaspar! The Musical
Gaspar! The Musical is a swashbuckling, new musical comedy that captures the spirit of wild fun and merriment found in Tampa Bay’s annual Gasparilla celebration.
The St. Petersburg Museum of History, The Palladium and 21st Century Playhouse, LLC are joining forces to bring this brand new home-grown musical to the stage.
With music by Constantine Grame and book and lyrics by Bill Leavengood, Gaspar! is a fast- paced, bawdy tale of “trading places” that finds the legendary pirate, Jose Gaspar, magically transported through Ame to modern day Tampa Bay, while his identical counterpart, Joe Wright, a Florida politician running for governor, finds himself captaining the pirate ship, Floriblanca, in 1723.
Our community will be enriched and thankful to you for making the experience possible. Fourth, your contribution is tax deductible.
Finally, ticket revenues will help support The Palladium (our non-profit community performance space), the St. Petersburg Museum of History (our non-profit city museum) and 21st Century Playhouse, my for-profit company which never makes a profit :).
We need to raise $75,000 (representing the entire budget for the production) by June 1st. SPONSORSHIP LEVELS start at $250.
To become a sponsor, send your checks, made payable to St. Petersburg Museum of History, to:
St. Petersburg Museum of History
Attn: Gaspar! The Musical

St. Petersburg, FL 33701
In the memo line of the check, write “Gaspar! The Musical”.
Checks are preferred as it helps us avoid a 2%-3% processing fee. You may also contribute online, however, by visiting https://spmoh.com and clicking on the Gaspar! The Musical link. Need more information? I would also be delighted to talk with you or meet with you in person
