You Want The Truth?
This movie gave us one of the most iconic lines of a generation—and something I still randomly yell in traffic: “You can’t handle the truth!”
Now A Few Good Men is hitting the stage right here in Southshore.
🎭 The Firehouse Cultural Center in Ruskin is bringing Aaron Sorkin’s courtroom thriller to life starting Friday, May 9 at 7:30 PM. And yes, it’s being performed by the brilliantly named nonprofit MacBeth & Cheese—so you already know it’s going to be both dramatic and deliciously clever.
Expect Navy lawyers, moral gray areas, and at least one impassioned monologue with finger-pointing. Classic theater stuff.
Whether you’re a drama junkie, a Sorkin fan, or just need a night out where no one’s asking what’s for dinner, this is your play.
🎟️ $30 for non-members, $23 for members (support local, save money—win-win)
📞 Call 813-645-7651 or book online
📍 Firehouse Cultural Center, Ruskin
🍿 Snacks? TBD. Regret if you miss it? Almost certain.
Shows run through May 18. Go see it—or risk being guilty of cultural neglect.

No Dolphin, No Problem—This Ruskin Shop Has Everything Else
If you’ve got a thing for beachy vibes, coastal flair, or just really want to pretend you live inside a Pinterest board, The Beach House in Ruskin might be your new happy place. Tucked away at 206 Shell Point Road W, this freshly opened gem is part boutique, part art gallery, and part grown-up treasure hunt.
Inside, you’ll find handcrafted jewelry, beach-inspired décor, local photography, framed prints, original watercolors, nautical bottlecap art (yes, seriously), hand-painted glassware, casual clothing, plants, and more—basically everything short of an actual dolphin. (Though honestly, we wouldn’t rule it out.)
The shop bursts with color and creativity, featuring the work of local artists who are often on hand—ready to talk shop, offer suggestions, or help you find the perfect piece for that one awkward space in your hallway.
Whether you’re searching for a one-of-a-kind gift, treating yourself, or just need a solid excuse to wander somewhere with good vibes, The Beach House delivers.
Pop in, poke around, and prepare to fall in love—just don’t be surprised if you leave with six pieces of art, three handmade necklaces, and a sudden, uncontrollable urge to repaint your living room seafoam green.
