School district to transform historic building into housing

Pinellas County Schools could have sold the 98-year-old building overlooking Mirror Lake near downtown St. Petersburg to a developer.

Even without an expansive, functional structure, land is a hot commodity in the city. The Pinellas County Property Appraiser values the former Tomlinson Adult Education Center at $4.555 million. Construction crews are putting up luxury condominiums across the street.

Stephanie Gularte returns to the theater

Two years after she stepped away from making theater, Stephanie Gularte got an offer she couldn’t refuse.

The former producing artistic director at American Stage was contacted by Emilia Sargent, who sits in the big chair at Tampa Repertory Theatre, asking her to direct A Doll’s House, Part 2, playwright Lukas Hnath’s “sequel” to Ibsen’s classic drama A Doll’s House.
