St. Pete-based tech manufacturing giant rejoins S&P 500

Jabil will soon rejoin the Standard & Poor’s (S&P) 500 Index, a significant milestone after a seven-year hiatus and a rare occurrence as company lifespans plummet.

S&P Dow Jones officials removed the St. Petersburg-based, global manufacturing solutions provider from “the world’s most popular index” in 2014. At the time, Jabil’s market capitalization - an estimate of company worth based on stock price and outstanding shares - dropped to $3.9 billion.

Making a ‘Miracle’: freeFall’s 9-year-old new star

The seven singing actors onstage in freeFall Theatre’s Miracle on 34th Street – A Live Musical Radio Play are rarely still. Together, they tell the familiar tale of a man named Kris Kringle, who “plays” Santa Claus in Macy’s Department Store. The show is set in 1947 New York City.

One performer – the one in the middle – is considerably more diminutive than the others. Yet she has one of the tallest roles in Miracle on 34th Street.
